This is an amazing story of a young man by the name of Geoffrey Sebwami who had been thrown into the prison in Luzira (Kampala Remand) due to purchasing stolen property. He met the Lord while in the prison. This is his story – in his own words.
“My name is Geoffrey Sebwami. I’m married to one wife and have 4 children. I was thrown into the prison on January 15, 2009. On January 28, 2009 a team of
Muzungus (Whites) led by Pastor Joseph and Douglas visited Luzira Prison where I was. They shared the good news which I had resisted for long time, but I finally surrendered my life to Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. The following week Pastor Joseph and Douglas came again and I enrolled in to Bible Way and started to study the Who is Jesus course and also to memorize the Bible verses. I started to see a change in my life and a few weeks later I was entrusted to be in charge of the ward as a pastor!
On July 8, 2009, I was released from the prison and I headed straight to my spiritual fathers in Bible Way. I’m thankful to Bible Way for giving me the Bible courses and the Bible and also for showing me a church that I and my family now are members. I feel I’m home away from home!”
When Geoffrey was released from prison and came by our office, we asked him if he could meet with Pastor Andrew Mwenge of Kampala Baptist Church, Geoffrey lives near the Church. We didn’t know whether he would go as we had told him. It is amazing that two day later we called Pastor Andrew and Geoffrey had actually met with him!
The following Sunday Geoffrey went, as the Pastor had told him, to a worship service at Kampala Baptist Church! All three Pastors of Kampala Baptist Church have met with Geoffrey. They are ready to continue to do discipleship with him. We know this is a credible Church with sound doctrine and so Geoffrey is in safe hands!
Thank you all for your continued support and involvement in God’s harvest fields in Kampala and especially in the Prisons. May God honor and bless your efforts.
In His Harvest Field,
Joseph
