Radical conversion: The story of David

“You are to open
their eyes and turn them from the darkness to the light and from the power of
Satan to God, so that through their faith in me they will have their sins
forgiven and receive their place among God’s chosen people.” (Act 26:18)

When he stood before the brethren at New Generation Tabernacle
Church in Yei and testified of his salvation on the 24^th of October
2010, the church shook with awe and gave much thanks to God.

He was one of the fruits of our first door-to-door evangelism
thrust then, which yielded a great harvest. In that first outing, 42
members returned to church by 3pm after the Sunday morning worship service, armed with
our Bibles and strategically grouped in threes, we set out to a nearby village
to witness for Jesus.

On sighting the team that came to his neighborhood, David loathed
them but still listened to their words. When they departed, he lost what was
left of the peace he seemed to have and in the solitary confines of his room
that evening, he silently asked Jesus to save him. He did!

The journey of this disciple was barely 2weeks old and many
of his friends and family had come to Jesus on account of his changed life and
public witness. They couldn’t understand nor believe this was the same David-
the drunkard, the marijuana smoker, fighter…He didn’t know how to quote Bible verses, but would say, “You know me before, but now this is a new me…”

There are others like David and their individual testimonies
will be posted here for your information and encouragement.

This video clip is the first of two recordings on David’s
life before and after Jesus took control.

Your prayers and support amount to much. Please don’t
relent.

–         
Pray for David and others like him, that their
faith will grow stronger and deeper in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

–         
Pray that their prayer life will be enriched as
they continue in the study of the word of God.

–         
Pray that their zeal will be nurtured for
greater harvests.

–         
Pray that they’ll continue to overcome the
temptations and youthful lusts that ensnare the soul.

–         
David is a skilled plumber. Please pray for his
business to grow and be established.

“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to those
with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:14)

Merry
Christmas!!

I'm inspired by God’s passion for His name in every generation, which provokes global worship through Jesus Christ. Becoming an emotionally healthy and transformative disciple, I aim to mobilize the Church to engage in cross-cultural missions and raise other like-minded disciples who discover themselves in Christ and seek to present and represent Him as Savior and Lord among the nations northward of Uganda.
