Report On Door To Door Evangelism/Training Held On 24th October, 2010
With support from our international partners, Reach the Un-reached Ministry (RETUM) in Partnership with Walls of Salvation Church had door to door evangelism in Bwaise on 24th October, 2009.
Walls of Salvation Church is pastored by Pr. Apollo Masaba. Bwaise is one of suburbs located in the North of Kampala city. It is a community where most people of low income earners live. It is well known for its slums, floods (due to heavy rains) witchcraft, thieves, conmen, and drunkenness.
We reached in Bwaise at 10:30am (Walls of Salvation Church) and set off into the community at 11:00am. We were 14 people including members of Walls of Salvation Church. We found that the place had flooded with water the previous night due to heavy rains (photos attached). The roads were impassible and water entered into people’s homes because of the poor drainage system. Moving from the church to the community was not easy because the whole area was covered with water (floods). The Pastor(Pr.Apollo) had to bring for us some gumboots which enabled us to cross to the other side of the road. We had 2 pairs of gum boots which we used; two people would put them on to cross, then take them back for other members until all of us crossed over. (see photos here).
While preaching we met a witchdoctor whose shrine had flooded with water and didn’t know what to do!!!. After 2 hours, a total number of 21 people had committed their lives to Christ and promised to come to church on Sunday. We left the church members with that responsibility.
Challenges
- Because of floods (due to poor drainage system), we failed to go to people’s homes
- People couldn’t listen to the gospel because of the problem of water entering into their homes
- Transport
We give God all the glory.
