There was such an awesome outpouring of God's presence in the meetings.

How many hours in the air is it from the United States to Entebbe, Uganda? For some of us traveling to Uganda this past May, it was 19 hours, but for others on our team who missed the flight in Amsterdam, it was a LOT longer. These team members finally arrived in Africa, from America, by way of India! Those of us in training with God are learning. In the midst of unforeseen difficulties, we keep believing, keep pressing, keep on praying, and God always makes a way.
We arrived in Africa to a people hungry for God. We held a Pastors and Leaders Conference in both the city of Kampala and also in the bush country, where Rev. Debra, Nancy Krapf and Becky Jacobs taught on the prophetic and the apostolic. The presence of God was powerful, and lives were encouraged and changed. We were all challenged and encouraged to reach for more. For sure, in the Glory, one can never remain the same. There is always the call to reach higher by yielding to the Holy Spirit more completely. As Rev. Debra and the team taught and ministered, God encouraged us once more to walk more intimately, press more diligently, receive by faith more fully!
Over and over as the pastors and leaders in attendance shared their hearts, we heard our hearts and thoughts expressed as well. "God, we are so thankful to have been given the privilege to eat of this pasture." End-Time Glory Ministries continues to offer a spiritual banquet for those who are hungry. Thank you Jesus, and thank you Rev. Debra for being a willing vessel.
The End-Time Glory Training Center students in Uganda graduated this year! These students were from our first training center in Uganda, and it was so wonderful to be able to share in their special graduation day. Congratulations students! You paid quite a price, traveling long distances, and laying down other things to press into all God had for you this last year. It was awesome to see and hear how God has moved in your lives, and to hear how God ministered to you through the school.
In the afternoons, Rev. Debra ministered at the open-air crusades. Opening with African praise, it was wonderful. As the people gathered, there was quite an excitement. Rev. Debra delivered powerful messages, declaring eternal life in Jesus to be received by faith, and then ministered to the people gathered, in a healing anointing.
Many were born again into the Kingdom of God, and many were healed in their bodies. Is there anything on earth more exhilarating? We heard and saw testimony after testimony of the goodness of God, and of His healing touch.
One young woman was dramatically healed by the power of God when Rev. Debra gave a word that there was someone at the meeting that night whose right knee had been seriously injured and that God wanted to heal them. This woman came forward and shared how she had fallen into a deep pit when she was younger, and the doctors could do nothing for her. All of her bones were out of position from the fall, and she was unable to jump or run. Then God touched her and she was totally healed! Praise God! She began to run and jump, and we all rejoiced at the creative miracle God had done.
Another young woman had endured pain in her mouth for 10 years. As Rev. Debra prayed, the pain kept moving to a different place in her mouth! Rev. Debra took authority over this spirit of sickness in the name of Jesus, and the pain disappeared. There was a man in one of the meetings who had not been able to hear for 4 years. The power of God touched him and his hearing was restored.

What a time of rejoicing we had with this girl - not only was she healed of terrible pain in her body, but she received Jesus Christ as her personal savior. |
This woman was deaf for 4 years....God touched her and she could hear. Praise the Lord! |

This woman could not turn her head, until the healing presence of God touched her
This woman suffered with a burning sensation in her mouth and throat and could not speak until God touched her
There was also the wonderful testimony of a woman whose eye had been wounded five years before, and she had to take drugs every day for the pain. As the people in the meeting that night lifted their praise to God, the pain began to leave. That night, she slept for the first time in five years without any pain, and the next morning, she awoke totally healed. Thank you Jesus! There were many more stories of how God saved and healed those that came to the meetings. We praise our God for all He did.
It was such a joy to have Pastor Richard and his wife Getrude, both from Tanzania, with the team. It was also wonderful to have Pastor James and Pastor Jimmy working with us as well. Thank you Pastor James for hearing the Holy Spirit and coming with us on that day we got a flat tire!
Africa- you have impacted our lives and touched our hearts in a big way. Pastor Steven and his wife visited from Kenya. What a beautiful family. My heart was so touched by the simple obedience of their children. What a joy it was to go out to Pastor James' home- to see the land, and experience God's presence there. We are so blessed to be a part of His Kingdom here on earth in 2008. Come Lord Jesus, come. And until He comes, we will stand with our hands reaching out to Him, our eyes looking up at Him, and a heart full of thanksgiving for all He has done, and all that He is going to do. Amen!

There were many salvations in the open-air crusade in Busia, Uganda. |
The presence of God was so strong during the services and what's even more awesome, is that I have received a report that the church is still experiencing revival. |
The Pastors were so touched by the Prophetic School that we held in Busia. Many shared how their lives were transformed and they were expecting "new beginnings" for their churches. |
