Participants show off the Bibles they received
Last week we travelled back to Tororo, where we did outreach in the communities we have planted solar wells in.
In the words of Paul, our Programs Coordinator:
Serving as Programs Coordinator for Sychar Springs Community Development Uganda's spiritual growth project in Kidera and Rubongi was a profound, life-changing privilege.
From the praise and worship to seeing the tearful joy and radiant smiles of 107 locals as they embraced their very own Bibles and held our hands in deeply touching prayers, it is a memory forever etched in my heart.
Establishing the Bible Readers Fellowships, comforting over 36 patients with essential supplies at Panyangasi Health Center III, and wrapping the 32 sweet children of Tororo in love are testaments to both physical and spiritual transformation. We left carrying their prayers, humbled and forever bound by love to the precious people of Tororo.
Working hand in hand with local churches, we started Bible Reader’s Fellowships at the two wells. Participants receive a bible, and read the gospels together, a chapter a day.
Each month, each person reaches out to someone in the community to read along side them. This allows the outreach to continue even after we’ve travelled back.
They received words of encouragement from the Sychar Team on the benefit of reading the word to them, their family, and the community at large. Each participant is registered with their local church’s pastor, so we can follow them up effectively.
The Bibles we distribute are translations to the local language, so that even the young or elderly are able to understand what they read. Join us in prayer that the word of God will find their hearts fertile, and that we’ll have a hundredfold harvest.
