Entebbe; July 20

The final day of evangelism work in Entebbe. I have so enjoyed working with Milton and Charles. What loving faithful men! As I walked down Entebbe Road behind Milton, I prayed for him, that the Lord would gaurd him and protect him, because there is such a strong sense of being a lamb among wolves here. I suppose we all are as Christians, but it is far more evident here. I am certainly thankful to the Lord for him.
Last night Milton worked through the night at the airport (the job he keeps to support his family). I think he only slept about 2 hours before getting back to church related work. Milton challenges me to be a man of prayer; to be a spiritual man. He also challenges me to be radically God-centered. He does this simply by the way he speaks. He is so simple in that everything he speaks about is pointed towards the Gospel and the glory of God.
Today we saw the Lord at work. Tyler spoke with a woman who had dreamed last night that someone would be coming to preach to her today: and Tyler was the one! She recieved the gospel readily! As he was sharing with this woman (Grace was her name), I was sharing with her neighbor Gloria. Gloria had no religious background at all. She kept asking to here more and more, so we spoke about Ephesians 2, John 1, and a few other verses. I hope that both Gloria and Grace will come to the church. Oh Lord draw them! (note: Grace was in church the Sunday after I wrote this entry!)
Mitchell and Lisa also were priviledged to be part of a work of the Lord. They visited the home of a woman in the church, and in God's providence, this woman's prodigal daughter had returned yesterday with an infant child after not being in touch for 7 years. Mitchell said that they knew even as they walked up that the Lord was calling this lost daughter to himself. Yesterday she returned to her mother - today she returned to her Father!

God has been gracious to allow us to take part in the harvest - to see eyes openned and lost lambs gathered in. The field truly is white for harvest, and those who are his chosen ones respond to the call of the Shepherd. "How he watches o'er his loved ones - died to call them all his own!"
