Greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Just a short report to you all is that, we had a very good children’s vocational bible time.

250 children attended and yesterday their parents came and TWO gave their lives to the Lord.

Also, we had a good meeting with the parents and they selected the Parents committee, which included the following:

1-     Chair person-  Mrs Nakungu Rose

2-     Vice chair person- Mr. Sowedi Ssenoga ( former Moslem )

3-     Secretary/ Coordinator- Tony Kyaterekera

4-     Treasurer- Mrs Nabutono

5-     Mobilizer- Mr- Robert Kayanja

6-     Children’s a fare- Mrs Tanyiga

7-     2 members- Mrs Hasifa and Mrs Nagimensi.

The parents promised us to join hands in the work we are doing and every 15^th of the month, they will come on the project to help with any work which will be available.

Also, I spoke to them that, if the Lord blesses us, we will have a well at  Toggo ( Toggo Water supply) but there will be a very minimal fee like 50 shillings  per Jerry can (20liters) which will help us to buy diesel to pump the water to the tank and its maintenance.

The parents were very support of the coming project of “ Toggo Water Supply” and also they are praying very hard for our school “ Toggo International Children’s Centre” to start. I told them that, we cannot start unless we finish the first class room block and another block  for the Teachers accommodation. Otherwise the students will continue to go to the current schools.

While doing the children bible vocation, we  gave prizes to 27 best students at the project, who performed well at their current schools. That  will build morale to the rest of the children to perform better.

Prayer point

1-     Pray for the well project.

2-     Pray for finishing of the 1^st 2 bloacks.

3-     Pray for the child sponsorship.

Thanks and God bless.

Yours in Jesus

About 40 Muslim extremists with machetes and clubs tried to break into a Sunday worship service outside Uganda’s capital city of Kampala on Nov. 1, leaving a member of the congregation with several injuries and damaging the church building.

Eyewitnesses said the extremist mob tried to storm into World Possessor’s Church International in Namasuba at 11 a.m. as the church worshipped.

“The church members were taken by a big surprise, as this happened during worship time,” said Pastor Henry Zaake. “It began with an unusual noise coming from outside, and soon I saw the bricks falling away one by one. Immediately I knew that it was an attack from the Muslims who had earlier sent signals of an imminent attack.”

The pastor said the disturbance brought the worship service to a standstill.

“There was a tug-of-war at the entrance to the church as members tried to thwart the Muslim aggression from making headway inside the church,” he told Compass.

A member of the congregation who was taking photos of the worship service – and then the attack – was beaten, sustaining several injuries, church leaders said. He was later taken to a nearby clinic for treatment. During the pandemonium, some church members were able to escape through a rear door.

Pastor Umar Mulinde added that nearby residents helped repel the attack.

“At the scene of the incident were rowdy Muslims with machetes and clubs ready to destroy the church,” Pastor Mulinde said. “The good neighbors of the church also came in, and we were able to overpower [the assailants].”

Police arrived and put a stop to the assault, but officers did not arrest anyone, church leaders said.

“We have reported the matter to the central police station, and we are surprised that no action has been taken,” Pastor Zaake said. “So far no person has been arrested as a result of this mayhem. It is as if the police are not concerned about our security and lives.”
Many in the church are now living in fear, he said, noting that last Sunday (Nov. 8), attendance decreased from 250 to 100 people.

“Since the attack we have been receiving a lot of threats from the Muslims,” Pastor Zaake said. “There is a conspiracy that we can’t understand. This trend really gives me sleepless nights.”

Area Muslims have long opposed the existence of the church in Namasuba, complaining that church members try to convert area Muslims. Christian sources said the initial pretext for damaging the church building was that its outdoor stairway encroached on the alley; the estimated US$535 (1 million Uganda shillings) in damages were limited to the stairway. The sources said that when the complaint of the stairway encroaching on the alley fell on deaf ears, local Muslim and community leaders criticized the church for making too much noise.

Namasuba is predominantly Islamic, with some estimates of Muslim adherents going as high as 80 percent of the population.

Pastor Zaake said area Muslims have been holding meetings at night, which he suspects concern plans to paralyze Christian activities.

“It looks like they are planning for another attack, especially in light of the threatening messages I have been receiving on my mobile phone from anonymous senders,” a worried Pastor Zaake told Compass by phone.

The church has been meeting in Namasuba since March. It is located four kilometers from Kampala on a quarter-acre parcel.

Although the Ugandan constitution guarantees religious freedom, authorities hardly prosecute Muslim attacks against Christians, church leaders said.

“The police silence on the whole issue is worrying and leaves a lot to be desired,” Pastor Zaake said.
