We are
grateful to Almighty God who strengthens us to continue serving Him by showing love
to others. As Jesus says in Mathew 25:27
“ For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was a stranger and you took me in, I
was naked and you clothed me , I was sick and you visited me and I was in
prison and you came to me”. We are responding on this word by showing the love
of God to our friends with albinism and other vulnerable groups . We have been
visiting the Jerrys schools, Butimba colleges and many other individuals with
albinism who have found our church as a right center of hop. Currently number
of believers with albinism who have decided to worship with us is increasingly.
This is because of the spirit of love which is in our senior Pastor Valentine
Mbuke. His heart of love to vulnerable groups has imitated to the whole church.
So on 22nd Feb, 2014; God
granted us an opportunity to visit Lake view schools.
On this very special day, we were luck to meet with
some few parents who came to visit their children with albinism. So we had a
time of sharing our vision as church and showing love to the kids who had
abandoned by their parents. They were very pleased with what we are doing as
a church to step in the shoes of the parents who were responsible to show love
to their kids.
The
purpose of the church is to show love of God to these people. We are always
carrying the message of love, forgiveness and self acceptance to these
children. Also as a church we are standing as parents to the kids, by creating
good friendship, giving some gifts to them according to the way God helps us.
So at Lake View, despite of the small
gifts we brought there but we had a time of sharing the word of God which is
the most important for us; Whereby Sister
Grace Cholobi (church member of BMCC) shared a word of love and forgiveness to
the kids. That in life we should learn to love one another as the way God loved
the world and He sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ for us. But also we
should learn to forgive and ask forgiveness for those who make mistakes to us
and those whom we do too. The kids were very joyful of the message. They even
had a time of saying that for sure BMCC are best friend like Under the same
sun.we had a time also to meet with under the same sun staffs where Mr. Adam
and the Sister Vick ntetema (the Director of Under the same sun) joined our
team and shared a greetings to the kids, so it was very blessing day.
The trip
was overwhelmed with love, when the children saw us they were so happy, we
could see their smiling faces, and because we have been visiting them for a while
now, some could manage to call us by our
names. We managed to give all gifts to children, to have furn with children and
they could not want us to leave them after the visiting time. This shows how
much we have touched their life and impacted love in them.
This is Pastor Valentine Mbuke
