God told Abraham to "go
to the land I will show you."(Gen. 12:1) After his blinding
encounter with Jesus, Paul was told to "get up and go into the city, and
you will be told what you must do." (Acts 9:6)
Now we believe He has called
us to the next big next step -- moving back to Africa to establish Kingdom View. Twelve years of ministry have given us a clear focus to help
Africans understand their freedom and identity in Jesus. This is the only
way they can overcome economic dependency on the west, endemic corruption and a
continuing influence of witchcraft.
As usual, the implementation
is totally beyond our means. That gives confidence God is in it as we
know He wants the glory. We believe where God provides the vision, He
provides the provision. In faith, we are planning on returning to Uganda
for a month on Sept. 7 to continue our discipling in person and to lay the
groundwork for a move there by April 2015.
In the meantime, we are
preparing our Dallas home for rental and seeing who God will provide to stand
with us. We trust God to assemble teams of prayer warriors, ministry
boosters and financial partners (see chart below for specifics) to help
the vision of Kingdom
View become a reality.
We have land to build an "Aquila and Priscilla Missionary Home" (the circular banda #1 on
the site plan) which would serve as our residence in Phase 1. Our land
also is sufficient for three guest bandas with two self-sustainable units each
and a pavilion with kitchen for 150 people serving campus fellowships in Phase
2. A fellowship center and guest house is Phase 3. An adjoining
two-thirds of an acre is needed for retreats and future expansion (funds needed
now as land could be offered to other buyers).
