As well as more filming we were able to help out practically in re-painting a brand new boys dormitory. We do our best to make the living conditions better for the children, and hopefully their stay will be shorter rather than longer.

By The Nile – A Fisherman’s Salvation.

One incredible highlight in South Uganda was when the team made friends with a Christian woman and her family by the source of the nile River, at Lake Victoria. Her husband, Abraham was a local fisherman who worked the lake all hours. His wife had been praying for her husband for years to follow Christ as he was brought up as a Muslim.

One night when leaving their home he grabbed my arm and told me he ‘wanted to be saved,’ and asked us to pray for him. With his wife translating for us we told him more, and he decided to follow Jesus right then and there. This beautiful privilege was made all the more fantastic taking place at the side of the lake under the brightest stars imaginable. I felt like I was in a bible story with no electricity for miles and a fisherman accepting Christ by the Lake of Victoria ( also the Source Of The Nile ). God really does know the times and places for man and knew just where he had to be and at what time. Overjoyed, the wife told me they will both begin reading the Bible together immediately.

Kenya- Helping Vulnerable Children In Africa’s Largest Slum

Tom and Beatrice do a fantastic job in helping these children receive love and education. Facilitating sponsorship programmes, they are seeing the future of Kenya transformed one child at a time.

Kenyan Orphans Have Their First Safari

It was a beautiful thing how seeing a giraffe or a wilder beast could light up their eyes and bring them away from suffering or pain to a happier place.

These children weekly receive great teaching through Sunday school at the church ‘Saviour King’. One of the team’s favourite experiences was learning the african worship dance moves by the children who lead from the front. After a few weeks we had almost mastered them all!

Finally I had the privilege of sharing my testimony at a local secondary school, incredibly (and as I should have expected- need more faith!) God used it and some chose to follow Jesus that day. How incredible that what can not seem like the best presentation/explanation can be used in such a way; a reminder it is God and not me that does the ‘saving’ anyway.

Israel – The Last Week.

After being in Israel just over a week already God has been opening eyes and bringing the Bible alive. Staying with Messianic Jews, we have learnt a great deal about the customs and cultural backgrounds to many things that happened in scripture. We are amazed to see how often western media builds a very fearful, sometimes biased picture of a war torn, ridiculously dangerous Israel. Where we are staying could not be more peaceful and the people more hospitable, both Arab and Jew.

We have already begun the process of visa application for India and are encouraged as the process is easier apparently coming from Israel. It was in this very place where Jesus said ‘let the children come to me’. I hope I can inspire others to think in this manner and be reminded that children are of great importance to God and should be of great importance to us also.
