Friends,
The Lord has opened an opportunity for me to spend the month of September in Uganda, Africa launching Africa Hope Bible Institute, ministering to those in need and reaching out to those who have yet to come to know the Lord Jesus.
The first two weeks, I will be teaming up with Pastor Gil Harder — a long time friend who has been involved in Uganda and other African countries for the past 7+ years. We will be working with local Pastors in Africa to carry out this equipping and evangelistic ministry. Through a local interpreter, I will have the privilege to preach in remote churches in the war ravaged villages of Lira and Gulu in the North and to teach the Word of God to many who are hungry to learn more from the Bible and take the Word to the unsaved in their cities and villages. We will use literature that has been translated into their local languages and leave Bibles and other tools with local Pastors and Evangelists to help continue their ministry.
The last two weeks of September, I will join another 23 people from Solid Rock Fellowship in Portland and and Journey Church in Charlotte for outreach and aid to those in Luzira and Soroti Uganda. We will be ministering daily in the prisons, schools, orphanages, churches, holding open air campaigns in the evenings and more.
This is a great opportunity and privilege to partner with God in an area where He is bringing many to Himself and meeting the practical needs of those who have so little. I need your help to make this happen. In the next few weeks, I need to raise funds to provide hygiene kits for prisoners, bicycles for pastors, farming kits – seeds and tools, Bibles and other items to help our outreach. We would also like to fund several clean water wells since clean water is a scarcity to many. I am trusting the Lord to provide additional aid to these needy people through many of you so please prayerfully consider joining me.
Just as important as the funding – I also need a team of people committed to pray and fast for this mission – especially that lives will be transformed, that the Gospel will reach hundreds who have not heard the Good News and that local workers will receive encouragement, hope and new understanding of God’s wonderful Word.
If you will partner with me through prayer and/or financial support – please make your tax deductible check payable to Jose Zayas Evangelism International (JZEI) and send directly to: JZEI PO Box 1; Portland, OR 97207
On the memo line of your check, please write ‘Howarth-Uganda’. You will receive a receipt from JZEI Ministries for your tax records.
Please contact me at via email at randy.howarth@verizon.net with any questions you may have or to let me know of your commitment to pray for the mission. I will provide further information on how you can get regular updates via the internet as we watch the Lord at work.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon —
In His Grace – Randy
