DISARMING SATANIC STRONGHOLDS IN UGANDA

Dr. Burton's recent mission trip to Uganda was both eventful and rewarding. He had been invited by Pastor Godfrey Malonde of Walking with God Ministries to be the main speaker at a prayer conference at Masaka, and to assist with the educational and domestic needs of 87 orphans. He arrived in Entebbe on the eve of January 22, 2010, and made the journey to Kamapla where he settled with friendly hosts, Janet and Hope.

     The next day found him at the Kampala Central Seventh-day Adventist Church where it was Deaf Ministries Day. The entire service (including the sermon) was led by the deaf, aided by competent interpreters. This was a powerful experience that allowed the hearing to walk in the shoes of the dead.

     On Sunday, Dr. Burton preached at two of four worship services at Searchlight of God Evangelistic Ministries, a thriving Pentecostal congregation under the leadership of Pastor Israel Mutabangyanya. God was praised and souls were delivered.

     After service, Dr. Burton and another guest from America, Pastor Lewis Mark Lampley, traveled with Pastor Malonde to Masaka where the prayer conference was to be held. The theme of the conference was Prayer is the Key to Destroying the Religious Spirit and Disarming Satanic Strongholds. Dr. Burton was thoroughly used as he made two to three presentations each day. Although the struggle against demonic spirits was evident, the entire conference was filled with an atmosphere of praise and worship.

     Dr. Burton was especially thrilled about the opportunity to present a workshop on female empowerment. Hundreds of woman gathered as cultural norms were challenged by the Word of God. In clear terms, Dr. Burton reminded women that they too were created in God's image and were equal to men. He also reminded them of their responsibility to be respectful to their husbands and fathers, and to respect the body God had given them. He also cautioned the women to be tactful in persuading their husbands and suggested that they invite them to study the relevant texts together. When he addressed the entire audience that evening, Dr. Burton had an opportunity to prep the men for change.

     There were also numerous prayer requests that Dr. Burton felt compelled to fulfill. Some were for healing, some for exercising, while most were economic. The needs are immense as millions still struggle from the effects of colonialism and decades of civil strife. Nonetheless, the people's resilience is evident and in spite of appearances with God's help, they will prevail.

UGANDA--HERE WE COME!

After two years of seeking the Lord's direction, Dr. Burton is finally heading back to the African continent on January 20 - February 2, 2010 where he will minister in Uganda with Walk with God Ministries International. After a weekend of ministry in Kamapla, he will head to Maska for a six day conference and revival where he will be the main speaker for the morning and evening, and present empowerment workshops to women and men during the days. A highlight of the trip will feature ministry at the Triangle of Hope Orphanage which is in desperate need of facilities. Pastor Godfrey Mulonde informs me that a structure can be built for just $10,000 (look for details on a future mission trip where you can volunteer to assist in the building project).

     In addition to the funds for the orphanage building, we need to raise $5,000 for the January trip. These funds will cover travel expenses, an LCD projector, books for 200 pastors, and gifts for the orphans who are currently living in temporary accommodations. As the Spirit moves on your heart, please give generously to this worthy cause. Remember, all donations are tax deductible. All who donate over $25 will receive a  copy of Dr. Dexter Thomas' hilarious and uplifting new book, "Messy Revival."
