Hello everyone!! First of all, Dr. Gilbert and I
want to thank you for continuing to pray and for your continued support and giving
for Magidu and his family!! As you know, Magidu went home from the
hospital several weeks ago and has been healing and recovering very quickly. Dr.
Gilbert has been in good communication with Magidu's mother regarding his
progress.
Dr. Gilbert felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to go see Magidu and his mother in the village last week. (God loves that kind of obedience!!!) He took some food for the family and also took a mattress for Magidu, so that he would be able to heal better and help bring some much needed relief to those hips of his.
While Dr. Gilbert was in the village, he skyped me to show me that MAGIDU CAN INDEED WALK, AND EVEN WITHOUT CRUTCHES!!!! WHAT A MIRACLE!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!! He has a minor place that needs to heal yet, BUT Dr. Gilbert treated it and left meds, etc. with Magidu's mother, with instructions on how to care for it.
The GREATER MIRACLE IN ALL IN THIS IS THAT MAGIDU, HIS MOTHER, AND 2 OTHER PEOPLE IN THEIR VILLAGE GAVE THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST THAT DAY!!!!! The Holy Spirit came on me as we were skyping that morning and I began preaching the gospel to them and after Dr. Gilbert and I disconnected, he took over and brought them to the wells of salvation. Then to top it off, Mum Mitzi from Texas sent a care package, along with a letter to Magidu and his family (which Dr. Gilbert read to them), which re-emphasized everything Dr. Gilbert and I were saying!! I LOVE IT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT SHOWS UP AND THERE IS FRUIT!!! I have NEVER seen smiles on either Magidu or his mother’s face, but look at the joy both of them have, after receiving Christ as their Lord and Savior!!!

Dr. Gilbert and Magidu
Dr. Gilbert has followed up with the pastor in the village to help mentor them
and help them to grow in Christ!!! We will be following up with them and
also they will be coming back to Kampala on June 25th for Magidu's follow up
medical appointment.
Thank you again for being such a blessing to Magidu, his mother, and their family!!! Just think....you will get a reward in heaven for your giving, praying, and believing for them!!! The evidence is in the fruit!!!
As I ponder on the events that have taken place over the past few months with Magidu, his mother, and brothers and sisters, I am reminded of these 2 scriptures:
Mark 6:30-44 Jesus feeding the 5,000. First, He had compassion on them and fed them (He met their needs), then He earned the right to preach the gospel to them.
Acts 10:38 God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power and he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with Him!!!
EVERY LIFE IS WORTH SAVING (BOTH PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY) AND BRINGING THEM INTO A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST!!! The two examples above are exactly what God has used in Magidu, his mother, and his brother’s and sister’s lives to accomplish and bring healing and salvation. THE FRUIT IS THE EVIDENCE THAT GOD IS WITH US IN WHAT WE ARE DOING IN THIS MINISTRY FOR HIS HONOR AND GLORY!!!
Please continue to pray as we seek God's face as to how we can help them! Magidu's mother is a widow with no income and she has 5 children. Two of the children are older than Magidu and 2 are younger. She used to run a little business selling 2nd hand clothing, but has been unable to continue because she used up all her capital to keep her family alive. Because of all the circumstance in her life, she has not been able to earn an income, feed her family, and has been no longer able to send her children to school.
Thank you again for your love for Magidu, his mother, and his brothers and sisters!!!!!
Your servant in Christ
