Accompanied by Rock-trained
African disciples, we have accepted an invitation to spread the Good News at
the remote Village of Hope next month.
The Village of Hope extends
Jesus' love "through our time, love, and hope in the grace of God to bring
healing to the hundreds of orphans affected by the brutal attacks of Joseph
Kony and his army by the name of the Lord's Resistance Army." Founder
Cindy Cunningham believes the message of freedom in Christ is essential for
healing the emotional and spiritual wounds of the young people. She has
embraced The Rock's BOLD adaptation for Africa of the Freedom in Christ
Ministries. (BOLD is for Believers Overcoming Lies of the Devil - a compelling
message in the African culture).
We are excited to encourage
the Village of Hope leadership team, present an overview to the young people
and hang out in the homes with the kids and house mothers. We are trusting God
to plant the seeds for fundamental change in individual lives. Our identity in
Jesus as taught in BOLD is not a program nor curriculum. It is a paradigm shift
that penetrates the essence of who we are spiritually every bit as much as our
DNA defines our biological makeup.
God is multiprocessing as
this also is a great opportunity for African disciples currently in BOLD
fellowships to put to use for the Kingdom what they have learned by serving
others in Northern Uganda.
In addition, the opportunity
to serve other ministries is confirmation of The Rock's leading to be a
teaching resource to western and indigenous ministries. While in Uganda, we
will be exploring opportunities for developing a BOLD Resource Center near
Uganda Christian University, which could include a guest house, media center
and meeting space.
This is a faith journey and
we trust the Lord to provide as we go. Please pray if He would have you be a
part of this BOLD initiative.
