In September 2007, Sons of Thunder will be leading a ministry team to Uganda for a week of open air marketplace evangelism, healing and miracle ministry. We will also be conducting crusade ministry in refugee camps near the northern Uganda war zone. We will pull aside to visit a number of orphanages. Prayerfully consider joining us on the mission field as we reach multitudes with the gospel of the Kingdom!
The fruit is ripe in the harvest fields. For those joining us on the field, you will see souls saved, blind eyes and deaf ears open, the lame walk and the sick healed. And for those who can't go, but wish to contribute financially, the fruit of the work of ministry will also go to your account!

"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
Mt. 25:40

Women pray to receive salvation during last year's SOT campaign in the nation of Uganda.

What We Will Do:
Open Air Marketplace Evangelism
Our team will travel in and from the hub city of Kampala daily to reach those on the streets and in smaller communities around the area. We will carry a mobile PA system for setting up spontaneous meetings in city squares, gathering thousands daily to hear the gospel and experience the saving, healing, delivering power of Jesus Christ.

Refugee Camp Crusades
Our plans include travel to vicinities near the Northern Uganda war zone, where thousands of people are displaced and contained within the walls of refugee camps. We will literally have a “captive” audience for a crusade of thousands in attendance to preach the gospel.

Outreach to the Poor
Known as the "night commuters," many children from northern Uganda are often kidnapped, raped and forced into a life of military service by the LRA rebel armies. Young girls have often taken as sex slaves amid this 20-year war. We plan to hold outreach events for those affected by war and visit local orphanages.

In our 2006 Uganda Campaign, the team led hundreds to the Lord, preaching the gospel to thousands right in the marketplace!

ugandamap[1].jpg Our Needs:
Please pray for us and consider a contribution to this effort as we preach the gospel, heal the sick, cleanse the leper, raise the dead and cast out devils (Mt.10:8).
Please pray for a breaker anointing against forces of regional witchcraft and Islam, which have kept a huge percentage of the area in bondage. Please also pray for a powerful release of God's glory & miracle power.
If you cannot attend this trip, financial donations will assist us in funding this event to bring souls into the kingdom! untitled_clip_image011_0000[1].jpg

More Background:

John and the Sons of Thunder team have felt a strong call to revisit the African continent this year, particularly the nation of Uganda. John has has long had a heart for east Africa, spending considerable time in Kenya, and recently bringing another team into the nation of Uganda.

The people of Uganda are friendly, despite the pressures of war faced in their northern region, and the area has been marked by a tremendous move of God in recent years, although conflict has also raged. Poverty is overwhelming in Uganda, leaving about 3 million orphans out of a population of 30 million. While a slight majority of the population professes the Christian faith, a third still practice animism or Islam.

The nation known today as “Uganda” is the result of colonial influence in 1894. They grouped different tribes together at that time, and the emerging result was Uganda. Uganda has known two forms of government, including a form of federal government, as well as central governments which have often been characterized by dictatorships, as well as corruption, human rights abuses and poverty. Today’s ongoing war has left an estimated 1.5 million people displaced, in what some have deemed the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Please pray for the joint ministry team, as we seek to bring regional impact to the area!
