Calvary Chapel Jinja has just hosted another Pastor Conference. The original plan was for a group of teachers to come from the States to lead this event. Unfortunately this didn't work out due to the high cost of airfare to get to Uganda. I hope we have another opportunity for them to come.
But God had a plan. Don't you love the words "But God..."? To me, they speak volumes about His sovereignty, power and plan that we don't anticipate. I had not anticipated being so sick on Monday plus having a major infection in my leg. But God did.
I asked Moro Steven if he could cover the majority of the discussion sessions and he did a great job. It has been good to watch this man mature over the last few months. But God didn't stop there. He enabled Craig Linquist fromm CC Entebbe to attend and he and Steven were just amazing. They taught and encouraged the pastors with wit and wisdom. It was quite a day.
But God had more in mind to do. Zane McCourtney from Kitgum arrived Monday night and when Craig left the next morning Zane took his place. How foolish it made feel to remember that I had been worried about the teachings. These guys were being led and filled by the Holy Sprit.
That afternoon Isaac Wooton arrived from CC Fort Portal and again God spoke through him to urge the men to let go of the traditions of men. It was as if God wanted to tell me that He was running the conference His way and not mine. Needless to say the conference turned out to be one of the best.
It has been such a wonderful experience to witness the Ugandan pastors and students grow. Praise the Lord for His work in all these brothers' lives.
