Victory doesn't just happen... it is slugged out on the acrid dirty streets of Kampala- in the manic college halls of Phoenix, in the backwater dens of Jakarta, in the slogging walks to frozen little homes in Mongolia - winning at the things that matter most - is never easy. It's hard work.
And the men in Uganda are doing the hard work - building the kingdom - one man at a time.
I just spent an amazing day - speaking to men in the most desperate areas of Kampala, finishing with top leaders in one of the great restaurants in the nation... a day of contrasts and the sound of victory - hundreds of men raising their hands in praise to God - in the middle of turmoil, tough times, conflict and tragedy - these men are headed to victory through and in Christ! It is awesome - it is humbling...
The pungent smells of the dusty smoke-filled streets of the slums of Kampala fill your nostrils with the aroma of greasy chicken, excreted waste and the smoke of garbage fires mixed with the smoke from the fires of chicken being cooked over open flames in the gutters... THIS IS WHERE AFRICA WILL BE WON FOR CHRIST!
Alex Mitala, one of the great Christian leaders in East Africa, with William Sempa, John Kayima, Ps. John Paul and others are doing the heavy lifting work of bringing Christlikeness and mentoring to the men of this nation... it's amazing.
Meeting with hundreds of pastors over the next few days... pumped.
