Pilgrim Church News

Pilgrim church is a church for Christ in the heart of Yumbe Town, which is 90% Muslims. We thank God for the few Christians for their faith they have shown to stand for Christ in this Muslim town. The Christians here desire a good place in which to worship, and to be a witness for Christ in this town. The God we serve is not a poor God but unfortunately you cannot see the rich God in the life of the Christians. The Christians are contributing to build the New church out of their small resources. Mr. Graham Scharf who lived with us in Yumbe is a witness of the situation. The Christians have the highest hope and through this hope and faith we are moving on and we want to be a witness to the Muslim majority town.

The Christians have built the church wall and are planning to finish the remaining wall that can help them to put up the roof. They have been using the small grass thatched house. Due to heavy rains on November 17, 2007 the roof structure of the building broke and we think that it is God's timing and we want to trust God for the resources to complete the house that is going to be a Christian testimony. Join us to be part of this testimony.


The picture of the broken roof which is what appears like a curve on the grass roof and we cannot worship in the house because it could collapse at any time.







We have begun to build the permanent wall of a new building. Please pray with us so that the building can be finished. You can also contribute towards the building and be part of the persons extending the Kingdom of God in Yumbe town in Uganda.

If you are touched to be part of the testimony contact Graham Scharf (leavened@gmail.com) who knows what we doing and can help you.

God bless you in Christ,

Elly.
