#23 - 1 Mar 2006

Calvary Chapel Entebbe opened its doors for their first Sunday morning service last month. This has been anticipated for over a year, but there have been many obstacles. Just when the church thought that a door had been opened for a place to worship, it would shut unexpectedly. But God knew what He was doing. He had something great planned. Several months ago, through constant prayer and waiting upon God, the Lord provided a piece of property for CCE. Pastor Craig Linquist, who moved to Entebbe with his family from the United States a year ago, finally felt a peace about the new prospect. It was the door that the Lord had opened, and if God opens it, then no man can shut it. (Revelation 3:7) What an exciting time it was as Pastor Craig and a team from Calvary Chapel Kampala welcomed over seventy five adults, and a few hundred children. The first service went great, and even more people keep coming every week.

Matthew 21:42 “…This was the LORD's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes”

Praise God that there was no significant violence during last week’s presidential and parliamentary elections! The city seemed to be at peace for the day of the election and the days following, and we were able to hold both Sunday morning services. Thank you for your prayer.

Special thanks to all of you who prayed for Pastor Craig and the church in Entebbe. What a wonderful work was done through your prayers. Please continue to pray for CCE during these first weeks and months.

Another praise report is that CC Kampala is developing a stronger worship team. Kenny Nek has taken the leadership position on the team, and for the past two weeks has done a great job. Please continue to keep Kenny and the team in prayer.

Now that CC Entebbe has found property, CC Kampala is next! Please keep this in prayer that we would find the right property and would be able to raise the funds necessary to purchase it.
