FRIDAY PHOTO GALLERY

The crowds gather in the Mbale Secondary School Ground as the Crusade Program begins. The people gather at 4:00 and the preaching starts at about 6:45 pm. After the altar call and healing ministry the people break out in this wonderful celebration of worship and praise

Both at the conference today and at the Crusade there was this pumped up worship band using these traditional instruments. They were a total blast. One of the things that happen as people perform worship songs like this is that people come up while they are presenting the items and put money in their hands to show their appreciation. They do it some times when you are preaching as well. I need to point out that I have received a total of 1,000 USh which amounts to about seventy cents Australian. Perhaps I need to pump up the preaching a bit.

By the time the preaching happens it is usually dark I asked Bishop Patrick if the people would be less likely to respond because it was dark and should be pull the program forward so that the altar call would be before the darkness comes. He said that people don't go home because it is dark and the darkness often make them more likely to respond. He is an astute operator, no doubt about it.

More and more people are coming to Christ. When they pray and commit their lives to Christ they are taken to the side and have all their names and contact details recorded. They are invited to church on Sunday to be baptized. The church has had to re-dig its baptism pool. It was outside the building and got covered with soil during a development . I saw all this digging going on yesterday and didn't know what was going on until the Bishop told me they were "re-digging the wells of revival" so to speak.
