Having completed our fall evangelistic campaign (Phase I) in Uganda, and our campaign to conserve the harvest (Phase II), we began our Phase III campaign for completing the Great Commission on February 1, 2026.
Many of the activities are the same in Phase III as in Phase II, such as people getting saved, baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit, baptized with fire, receiving deliverance, healing, miracles, etc., as the new believers and existing ones continue to be discipled, attend Life Transformation Groups (LTGs), and become part of the new fellowships, even as some new fellowships may continue to be established, elders appointed and set in.
However, the new focus is on discipleship, multiplication of disciples, and leadership development, (as well as possibly establishing more new fellowships as the need arises). Once we have appointed elders in these fellowships, they will serve under the oversight of our brother Grace (pictured above), who has been trained in our DTS and has decades of experience in ministry.
Our Lord said in His Great Commission, which is our marching orders as soldiers of Christ:
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Mat 28:18-20)
We are going, we are making disciples, we are baptizing them, we are teaching them to obey everything our Lord commanded the original disciples in the gospels, including the Great Commission, in which he commanded us to do all of the above. We are casting a vision for multiplication among the new believers, that if they do what we are doing, making disciples and teaching them to do all that Jesus commanded, then their disciples will also be making disciples and teaching them to do all that Jesus commanded.
Below you will find our updates for this Phase III campaign (all photos at link above):
February 16, 2026
Dear brother Len,
I thank God for His grace upon us as we continue with phase III, sharing this below:
5. Awawal Location, 9th- 10th:
We spent 2 days, 9th - 10th in this particular location; we were able to baptize 10 believers in a water site called Ojukot where I had conducted baptism decades ago for some believers.
There was evidence of the Holy Spirit, with speaking of tongues, and fire baptism.
We prayed for sister Martha’s father, who was in hospital; we see God's grace of healing upon him.
Discipleship for the believers is on going, plus 13 LTGs have been formed.
We have brother Vincent leading the fellowship, very committed with more joining especially children and the youths.
Their number is 45, which may have been more than this, since some youths have reported back to school.
In this location, one family decided to give their land for the Church, for possible Church structure.
6. Alitimon Location, 11th to 12th :
We baptized eight believers in Alitimon still at the Ojukot water site.
The believers here continue to experience the works of the Holy Spirit and fire baptism.
During healing and deliverance, brother Peter got healed of leg pain that he had suffered for a year.
Discipleship is conducted, with seven LTGs formed.
Brother Peter is caretaking the fellowship, along with another brother, Joseph.
So far the number of believers is 23.
7. Acida Location 13th to 14th:
In this location particularly, we experienced a very powerful move of God! We were praying and fasting all the time we were in this village, as we were aware of the heavy demonic activity there. We were warmly welcomed.
The new believers brought their Catholic rosaries, etc., and we burnt them as seen in the picture. This happened after sharing with them from the Scriptures about idol worship. They said they used the rosaries for prayer and protection.
The former witch called Bosco wasn't around, as he had traveled to Lango region, but his son exposed his father's continued witchcraft since coming to Christ; he went to one of the converts by the name of Sam, and gave him the pipe his father had been blowing, bewitching people. He is yet to bring out a small pot of 2 outlets, etc. [Bosco will be confronted about this when he returns. He will need to repent, ask God's forgiveness, renounce his witchcraft, burn the related tools of the trade, break curses off of himself and those whom he cast spells on, apologize to those he hurt, and make a fresh, new start.]
We continued teaching on salvation, baptism, etc. in this Catholic-dominated village, plus locating a water site for baptism next time when we visit.
The Lord worked, and 16 new people got born again.
We conducted a healing and deliverance session, where a girl called Sarah got healed of ear and eye problems after 4 years of suffering. She gave her life to the Lord as her Savior. She handed to me her rosary. Winnie also got delivered from demonic powers, plus the Lord filled her with the Holy Spirit and fire.
The number of the believers in Acida is 49, discipleship is going on , with 19 LTGs.
Brothers Stephen, Moses and Sam are actively caretaking the fellowship.
Sister Marculate is a widow in this fellowship. After sharing among themselves as a fellowship, the Lord touched her, and she gave part of her land for the Church in case of construction.
We had very good time with the believers and never wanted to part!
8. Amen B, a new fellowship:
I sent two of our brothers to this location ahead of us; this place had been my target area. I had planted a Church here years ago, but it closed due to challenges. We thank God it has revived, with a number of 10 new believers, totaling to 16.
Discipling of the new believers commenced, and four LTGS were formed.
Brother William and Lawrence are caretaking the new fellowship. The good news is that I have been closely walking in the Lord and working with these two brothers for a long time.
By God’s grace we are here in Soroti for a day's break before traveling to Pingire in Serere, etc.
The grace and peace of the Lord be yours forever, Amen,
Your fellow servant,
Bro Grace

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
