The taco dinner and concert was this past Friday night, and although there weren't tons of people who were able to make it that night, it was so special and a huge success! The food was scrumptious, and Caleb did an amazing job sharing his original music (so anointed it's unbelievable). Everyone loved my powerpoint ( I just HAVE to be organized lol), and the REACH poster which stands for Radically Extending Arms of Care and Help. It's like my God-given motto for going to Uganda. Praise Jesus! I am the hand, but you as my supporters are the arm that get me to Africa. Without you, I won't get there because God chooses to work through people:)
Please be praying for Zion Project (the Christian organization that I'll be going to that brings healing to ex child soldiers and Congolese prostitutes and their children) and Sarita, ZP's founder and director. Satan is attacking the ministry hard-core right now because they are doing damage to his kingdom of darkness. Let's lift them up to our Father during this trying time. He is so faithful and will bring them through. Amen?
On the financial end, the dinner was fruitful because so far I have close to $500 raised already and tons of prayer support! Also, a couple people said they would talk to their pastors and see if they would allow me to do my presentation during a church service. That would be wonderful! My Mom even made little pieces of jewelry (she has her own business on Etsy making and selling jewelry) and gave them as free gifts to those who donated certain amounts to my trip to Uganda. I love seeing the kingdom at work in my own family!
To sum the night up, I am beyond blessed. Thank you Jesus!!!!
Come with me, Naomi Johnson, as the Lord uses us to REACH a broken and needy world with His love. It may be across the ocean, or it may be in our own backyard, but we are called to be Jesus wherever we are. I returned from being a missionary in Uganda in 2012, spent a year in ministry school at the International House of Prayer University, and am now on full-time staff at the House of Prayer Evansville in Indiana, Thanks for reading, praying, and giving... we're partners in the kingdom work!
