Last weekend two groups of students spent the entire weekend teaching and spreading the good news. The Helping Hands Club from the secondary school sent a group of 26 to Sandy Hill and the Heavenly Echoes Choir had 17 who went to Nazilongo. Both groups camped out Friday through Sunday, cooking their food over open fires. The Nazilongo group slept in a church building. Sandy Hill has no building, but the villagers built a grass fence with two areas, one for the men and one for the women. Each fence was three-sided, and on the open side each group had a big fire blazing to provide warmth. It was a COLD weekend, so they needed those fires while they slept under the stars!
The Nazilongo students went door to door in the area around the church building and invited people to come meet with them. They had preaching and teaching sessions on Friday and Saturday nights and on Sunday morning. The Sandy Hill group had preaching on Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Saturday night, and Sunday morning. They also taught children's classes.
There were six baptisms and 37 restorations as a result of the weekend efforts. Both Nazilongo and Sandy Hill congregations begged for another camp meeting. Roughing it in the cold didn't seem to bother the students, as they all agreed that the weekend was a great experience and asked when they can go on another weekend outreach.
They won't have long to wait. Three camp meetings are scheduled for the last weekend in June. Please keep these efforts in your prayers.
