Being on this tour has made me realize that God loves people more than anything. That God loves America just as He loves Africa. That He wants to draw all men, even in America, unto Himself. And that right now, Mwangaza Children's Choir is one of the special tools He is using to reach America.
God's priorities are clear: His kingdom first. God wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the Truth. The truth, that Jesus alone is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The truth that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins and rose again, bringins new life to all that believe in Him. Everywhere we go, God is making the salvation of men Key. Literary in everything we do, big or small, God is changing lives. More than anything else, God is reaching out through the Mwangaza to draw men unto Him.
Individuals and groups are responding. Sinners are repenting - only heaven knows the right count on this. The sick are being delivered - I know 3 people so far who have confessed being healed of body sickness during the concert or when a child prayed for them. Backsliders are returning to the Lord - that list is endless. Churches are being revived. Following the Mwangaza visit to their church or home, some people have started worshipping with hands lifted up, singing and dancing with great joy in church, praying more fervently, committing themselves to missions, etc. Pastors are being amazed and moved by the Holy Spirit after seeing the children praying fervently in the Spirit, singing loudly in joy, and preaching the good-news with authority.
Host homes - I have been there, I have seen it - (actually, I am crying as I write this part). God is breaking through and releasing His people from bondages unspeakable. I have seen God restoring marriages, recapturing children, commissioning missionaries, embracing the prodigal, healing the sick, changing attitudes, breaking down racism; speaking new life, giving direction, and simply loving His children. I have seen God at work in host families.Lives are being changed forever. And it is amazing to see.
Please tell Uganda to continue praying for this one thing more than any other: "may the Lord's will be done; nothing more, nothing less, nothing else." And His will is to draw all men unto Himself.

Well said Henry! Your Buckeye friends love and miss you all! Praying for you all the way. May God's Spirit guide you every day, working through the team to magnify Christ and His unending love in every home, church, school, and location the Lord provides. Hugs to all. -Brian
ReplyDeletePraise God!....Amen! Beautifully written, Henry. God has allowed me to learn so much through Mwangaza. We have so many distractions in America that lead us away from God's word and what is really important. Mwangaza lives God's word. God gently whispers through them, "I am all that really matters." He beckons us to have a child-like faith and to worship Him as if no one were watching...
ReplyDelete...and Jesus called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them, and said, "I say unto you, except you be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven... Matthew 18: 1-5
(actually, I am crying as I write this part, too.)
We love you all, Henry. Give them all hugs from us. Many blessings as you continue to bless those around you...
