Mwangaza is Shinning God’s Light in America

It is true that God is reaching the world using America. But it is also true that God is reaching America using Africa. Mwangaza Children’s Choir from Uganda is the proof.

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.

Mwangaza Goes Horseback Riding

America has had many beautiful experiences for us. Horse riding is one of them.

I must confess (like all the Mwangaza children who visited the horse farm), I always thought horse riding consisted of "jump on, kick and go". Friends, was I wrong.

Many thanks to Dena and Scott Little, the owners of Storybook Horse Farm in Alabama. They gave each one of us a chance to have a horse riding experience.

We started by riding dummy horses. We also named our dummy horses. I called mine “K” after a good friend of mine.

At the farm, we realized that there is more to horse keeping than just riding them. Things like feeding horses, horse grooming, horse hoof care, horse injuries, to mention but a few.

The children learnt about miniature horses, sheep, goats and cows. They learnt how to brush a horse. They also made toy horses and some horse shoes before the actual horse riding begun.

While we were at the farm, we learnt that horses may not be the very intelligent of animals but they sure have very big hearts. Actually, I was told that with the proper care and teaching, they can become one of your best friends. (This makes sense especially if you consider the fact that horses are a huge part of America's heritage.)

Well, I agree I am not a Texas cowboy. But hey, who doubts that right now I am the only adult male Ugandan horse-rider on the Mwangaza Choir tour 2011?

Well as an equestrian enthusiast for most of my life this was an unbelievable blessing for me. Being able to get back on a horse after not having ridden in a few years was an indescribable joy but even more was the joy I experienced from seeing the children’s eyes light up as they hopped on top of Friar Tuck, Baloo, Captain Hook, Humpty Dumpty… and all the other horses in the barn. Even the adults enjoyed a quick ride around the arena.

Storybook Farm is dedicated to therapeutic horseback riding primarily for youth who have experienced difficult life situations and those who have mental and physical disability. It was amazing to see the light of Jesus shining through the Little family as we saw how they dedicate their lives to healing and helping others! It was an unbelievable experience that we will certainly never forget!
