Ministry Two: 8th -10th
Pastor Isaac and his wife Christine were invited for the couples' seminar. 25 couples attended every day. Christine was one the main speakers, alongside her husband, Pastor Isaac Peter Oyako.
She spoke powerfully about women supporting their husbands in the ministry. She also talked about voluntary submission of women to their husbands, and to be a backup force.
She challenged men to develop friendship their wives.
The impact was great; husbands and wives confessed issues and restored their fellowship with each other. A pastor who had had a secret affair with a widow came forward in repentance. However, it was a big shock to his wife to learn of it for the first time.

Ministry Three: 11th -15th July 2011
The Will of God Church was pioneered, and is led, by a wonderful sister popularly known as Nalongo. RTM has had an excellent partnership with the Will of God church for many years.
A variety of topics were explored including: "Hearing the Voice of God," "Biblical perspective on dreams," "The woman's role as a wife, a mother and a minister."
The church was full of people, mainly women. It was an evening seminar from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm every day. The Will of God church is about 30 minutes from my house in Bugembe in Jinja.
The Impact: People who attended gave testimonies how God had changed their lives. Many sisters whose marriages were 'on the rocks' identified the parts they played in worsening marital relationships.
However, the church blessed me with money to support my grandfather ( father to my father) Mr. Palasiko Epongu, 99 years. Uganda does not have any government program for the elderly. I support him by providing food and health care. He lives in abject poverty. Members of the church collected money for food items and medical care worthy US$ 50 for the month of July.

Prayer Request One
|
|
The 20-year old car Pastor Isaac Peter Oyako uses.
This car has been to almost all parts of Uganda, doing missions. It is now very old, and the cost of maintenance is quite high.
Short term solutions: To undergo major repairs. It needs up to US$ 995 for the Engine and other accessories including tires.
Long Term Solution: Replace it with another used one from Japan or Dubai. It costs US$ 8,600 or slightly more.
Prayer Request Two
Pray for Widow Aida 65, who kept us in her house during the leaders' revival Conference in Kamuli recently. This widow actually has nothing to live on. She has constructed a facility to raise rare birds by faith. She has 8 children under her care. She is the eldest wife of her late husband who passed a way as a result of HIV/AIDS.
The other younger women fled, and probably got concubined elsewhere, leaving this elderly woman with a burden of bringing up younger children (9 to 16 years). Besides that she is an HIV/AIDS victim. In spite of this, she loves the Lord, spending her time praying and serving God.
We are praying that we/someone may help her fulfill her dream of an income generating activity. She needs about GPB 300 (or $500 US) to kick-start this project with 200 birds with the projected monthly income (profit) of GBP 75.
Prayer Request Three
Tuition for my daughter Liz. Liz is our first child and only daughter. She is entering Makerere University. Liz immediately needs basic funds for an equivalent of GBP 500 or US$ 900. She wants to take finance and business courses.
It is difficult for us to fail to support our own child while helping others. Through friends, we are helping three girls through university and three in secondary education.
