Sabbath Message Update 18/2/33/120

Dear Friends,

The following is the report in response to the request for assistance for the group of churches that came in to Northern Uganda in necessitous circumstances. There were 1840 people that were in necessitous circumstances and the officers and many of the brethren were without clothes.

This report was sent from the Senior Coordinator in Uganda Mr. Bizimana Bosco.

What is not on this report but on the secretaries report was the report that we have started a shoemaking facility with officers now under training as shoemakers. We expect to have the shoe factory operational at end 2010-2011.
 
It should be noted that the support was sent from all over Uganda and from the other nations and from tribes that not long ago were more or less uncooperative if not hostile.  They are helping one another now as brothers and sisters in Christ and it is a pleasure to see. The assistance is ongoing. More has been sent from the other churches to get more things going for these people. You will note that the churches are now self funding to get their officers to conferences and in training seminars. An additional report was provided listing the orphans in the Northern groups that were equipped and placed in school with their fees paid from the Ugandan tithes and the Senior Coordinators and the Secretary funded much of the money from tithes and donations.

Uganda is also helping with the publications and training of the most massive induction we have done to date of over 400 churches, which is underway in the Congo DR at Bunia with branches in Beni and Goma and in the CAR and Angola. We also have inductions in Kenya and Zimbabwe and in Mozambique and in Zambia and Malawi. Next week we have inductions in Tripura, Assam, and other NE Indian States and in Bangladesh.

Hello, Wade
I send you the report of the works done in North Uganda
The tailor’s project is developing as our first group at Kawempe started with two machines but now we have more than 38 machines in six groups at Kawempe. CCG Kawempe Tailors Project alone has 17 Sewing machines and 8 machines in CCG Koboko North Uganda also. CCG Kawempe Tailors Project supported two machines. CCG Ssembabule Tailors project and CCG Kawempe Tailors Project supported CCG Koboko Tailors Project with one machine also. In the last few weeks we did have the problem of our officers who didn’t have clothes but CCG World Conference has contributed the funds for 4 Sewing machines supported to CCG Koboko Tailors project now they have 8 machines so these machine will help them in developing others and developing evangelism well.
 
CCG Kawempe Tailors and other CCG Tailors projects have supported the tailoring of trousers with shirts for supporting our Officers in Northern Uganda and more than 134 Trousers with shirts were sent to North Uganda to support our officers there. This assistance was donated by CCG World Conference with CCG Uganda Tailors Project. Teophile Tuyambaze Officer of Department of Projects and Evangelism has reported that now our Officers in North Uganda are well and each officer has received a pair of trouser and a shirt also the Sewing machines donated there will support and be helpful in developing the projects there in the near future as well.
 
Also officers of the Tailor’s Project have reported that they are getting good customers who are buying the clothes finished to be tailored and they have said in two years they will be have two hundred machines with their plan for training more than 1850 people in four years as 2014 includes building the CCG Tailors Project place and Offices and developing CCG.

We bought trousers and shirts which cost the following funds.
Each trouser cost price 5000 x130 trousers =650,000 Uganda shillings for Officers. We were supposed to buy 42 trousers but we have many people who did not have any trouser so we have tried to support 130 trousers

Each shirt cost price 3000 Uganda shillings 3000 x130 shirt =390,000 Uganda shillings so we have tried to get at least one [pr] trouser[s] with one shirt to each person who [had the most need to get a pair of] trouser and a shirt
Total funds used to buy trousers and shirts are 1,040,000 Uganda shillings

 
So we send thanks to all members who have supported our people in North Uganda to get clothes and we are requesting all members to continue to pray for our people in North Uganda because we are planning to open onion projects there. We will need fertilizer and we need some shoes and bibles to help them to learn CCG Materials. So we hope that when you are blessed with something you will continue to donate what you can as our Brothers did to support the assistance.
 
We were supposed to be able to fund this money we needed easily but in this month of May we have different conferences around in our groups all of them are contributing the funds that will be used in our meeting which it will be helpful for our people to be trained and developed in the gospel of the kingdom of God,
 
We have conference at Jinja next week. It will be attended by more than 400 [officers and assistants] from all our groups in Eastern Uganda
 
We have a conference at Rakai in South Uganda
 
We have a conference at Mubende in Central Uganda
 
We have a conference at Lira which will be attended by people from all groups in North Uganda
 
End of the May we will be have a conference at Ssembabule
 
At least all officers will attend these conferences and we have asked members to help their officers to get them to the conferences with what they can
 
God bless you,
 
Yours faithfully
