We’ve met Sandy and Kemper, who are helping us through the showing of the Jesus film, and will be helping us in the future as we venture to Sudan. We have seen our dream of the orphanage come to life with the Foundation being laid for the first building!

For the first time, we have been training Ugandan church members in the Worship arts. Jay has been training the sound engineers in how to get better and more effective use from their equipment. Whitney and Mike have been working with the worship teams/ leaders in answering their many questions. One common theme has been how pastors and worship leaders can be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit During church services.

I had a wonderful birthday. Thank you for thinking of me and praying for me! The proprietors of our hotel purchased me a cake all the way from Kampala. It was coconut, and delicious! One of the churches we’ve been supporting and working alongside had a special garment, the traditional Ugandan dress called a Gomez, made for me as a birthday gift! Pray for Kenny- his birthday is the 18th. He will be an old man of 51! He will have a great responsibility seeing that the medical and dental ministry are successful for the Lord.

Once again, we love you, and we appreciate you and your prayers.

Love and kisses,
Me

God has been very busy showing us his love for these people, and once again I am in awe at the fact that He lets us play a part in it.

Monday the 13th I celebrate 48 years of life, and I begin a women’s conference with Kim and a new friend, Sandy. Please pray for the women as we share with them the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pray for Ken as he’ll be leading pastor conferences and crusades in the surrounding villages. God is so using him. Today as he preached, I was in awe of how God’s word is just so alive when it’s preached through him. He’s my favorite preacher. He says I’m his favorite preacher’s wife, so I guess it’s a mutual respect for each other.

Please pray specifically for Kim as she leads the conference, and her husband Gary (she is Gary lonesome!). Hi to Crosspoint Church- we love you and are grateful for your support.

It was suggested to me by my new friend Whitney that instead of receiving birthday gifts this year, I ask friends and family to consider making a donation to Call To Africa. Would you consider showing your love for me, and the people of Africa this year in this special way? Nothing would make me happier!

We love you and we miss you. We trust you are praying for us!

Hugs and kisses,
Me

Greetings from Africa! 

Below are some photos from our Womens Conference that was held last week. Ken and I will send more blog later …we just wanted to get the photos to you!

Love,

Ken and Renate

The other pictures are from this last week in Kampala at the women’s conference. Ken and Renate from Call To Africa in front of the church where the Women’s Conference was held,Renate speaking at the conference, Kim teaching on forgiveness- I am so glad she joined us! What a gifted teacher!The african couple is Josephine and Emmanuel. They pastor the church the conference was at. They are truly beautiful people, and it was such a blessing partnering with them!

The women who are hugging are rejoycing because of Jesus! The little boy in the purple jacket stared at me for 3 minutes…cute.

The last pictures are from a slum we visited in Kampala. The residents are IDP’s from Northern Uganda who fled after attacks from Joseph Kony and the LRA. We were there to minister to a group of widows who all suffer from HIV/AIDS, and we are hoping to partner with them and bring doctors and aid next year. We also have started supporting them through buying necklaces/ jewelry.

The last photo is of Renate with our new friends and partners, Simon and Aggie.
 

Hello my friends!

Your prayers are touching Kampala at the present time. We taught our women’s conference yesterday with Kim as our lead teacher, but I really believe we didn’t tap into the women, even though the pastor’s wife said we did, I did not feel the connection. Ther is a heaviness this Thursday morning in my heart. I am going to ask that some of you set aside an hour to fast and pray. We need that covering!

We visit our 17 AIDS widows in the morning. Please pray for us. Pictures should be up in several days.

Love and kisses, me.

 

I am so happy to be with my husband doing God’s outreach work. Knowing all of you are praying for us lets me know that God is sharing the ministry with people who care about us and outreach to those God sends us to serve.
Please remember Amy,Carter,Gracie,Ray,and Clint as they live out their lives with out mom and dad{Nawie,and Jaja} to hold them up.

Please pray we make all our connections. We need your prayers for traveling mercies inside Uganda. Pray with us for discernment how to follow God’s will for distribution of His money and gifts. Kim(can’t spell her lst name)will be teaching our bible conference, please pray God’s favor on her and me as we teach women about the love of God. I believe we will be hosting 55people in Uganda in a 25 day period. We love these people and are blessed to know each one as a friend. Pray they will see God at work through them, and for their traveling.

My sisters, and best friend Susan will need you to pray they can survive without me keeping them straight,ha,ha.

Know that we gladly serve with you to do the will of our Father the Lord Jesus Christ. We give God all glory,honor,and praise. We see ourselves as an extension of the ministry of Cross Pointe Community Church and its because you and the missions team and Pastor John and Nancy have just included us as part of the family.

Love and Kisses;

Me

Please pray for upcoming opportunities Call to Africa has sceduled and consider inviting Ken and Renate to your church or mission group to hear how you can join in what God is up to around the World…

  Call to Africa will host an International team with members from USA, Nicaragua, and Uganda to conduct an evangelistic campaign in Rukingiri, Uganda. This scheduled event carries all the signs of a Huge God Moment for this part of the country. 

  I believe God has set this appointment on His calendar and I expect Him to do ‘exceeding, abundantly, above all we could ask or think.’ We need prayer cover and we need resources to purchase Bibles and Bikes for those pastors who will attend the Leadership Training Conference during this weeklong campaign. 

  We will train leaders, host a soccer clinic, open air crusade, vilage/school/ market-place evangelistic rallies all leading to the soccer tournament championship match on Thursday evening April 23rd. During the trophy presentation we will present the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we are asking God to draw this whole city to Himself! 

  We need $3000-5000 for Bibles and Bikes, if you can help us please contact us at; kgalyean@calltoafrica.net or cell# 256-200-0529, or mail a check to; Call to Africa, 1925 Putter Circle, Arab, AL. 35016.

Thank you! Rev. Ken Galyean                              

With a team of 21 including 15 college age from North Alabama CTA facilitates 7 days in Gautemala in 5 different cities to see more than 1000 give their lives to Jesus Christ!

 Student Minister Jody Dean of Rainsville FBC recruited 17 from 5 different churches to Join CTA’s Rev. Ken Galyean and Next Level Worship’s Dwayne Moore and his son Stephen to conduct evangelistic rallies with local churches throughout Guatemala. 

 Some highlites along the way were our stop at Casa Aleluya – orphanage to 500 plus children and teenagers. God brought us down to see His grace and mercy in a new way through the Ministry of Mike and Dottie founders of ‘Casa on the Rock’ (Casa Aleluya). Pastor Dave Meese and Children’s Pastor Jack arranged schools and parks to conduct evangelistic rallies for the locals.  

 Just as Jesus said;" if a man will loose his life for my sake he will find it." We lived large serving Jesus and those He had on His heart in Gautemala during the Spring Break for Northeast Jr. College. Special thanks to Team from BCM; Whitney, Leslie, Chelsea, Racheal, Ellen, Hope, Casey, Betsy, Jordan, Jimmy, Patrick, Matthew, Amar (Elmer), and Jay… Your guys were awesome!

1. Hands & Feet International INC. is a group of significant partners (The MET, KGEA, CTA, LGSTC) who have formed an NGO to build and facilitate this orphanage you see pictured on the right. What you see is a road that has been built, a gate, guard house and a fence around the parameter of all 10 acres located on the Nile river in Njeru Uganda for this orphanage. You can help us with teams and resources to help build homes for the 200 children that will be housed, fed, educated, and evangelized on this site.

2. Pictured above left is the town officials with the Chief and my self in Wandaruba Sudan. Last year when we met him in Juba Sudan he begged us to come to Wondaruba his home village and help them. They have nothing, no health care, no education, no clean water, no significant Bible preaching church in the area. So after meeting with them in a town hall gathering I told them I would come back and tell the story but if we were going to give then they would have to give as well. The chief then stood up and pointed in 4 directions and gave us a significant piece a land with acrerage enough to build a church, clinic, school and water purification system. My goal is to get them a water purification machine on this site before the end of 2009. I need your help, $20,000.

3. Masojone, Botswana church plant, 17 klms from the border of Zimbabwe. I wll carry a team of pastors, evangelist, and laymen in October of 2009 to conduct an evangelistic campaign and pastor’s conference to build up and set up the pastor and church leaders for success in this 4 acres donated to us for the purpose of planting a church. Pastor Norman Schaeffer is discipling the pastor, and he is the one who has asked me to raise a team and resources to go. He just got through meeting with many of the Pastor’s from Zimbabwe who were so discouraged and in need of training that he rearranged his schedule last week to bring in Pastor Joel Carswile and Terry Harrold to pour into these guys. We believe this will be a door way for the gospel into Zimbabawe! What if we could raise the resources to place one of the water purification machines on this church site. A picture of the living water offered only in Jesus CHrist! I need your help, come with me, send resources for this church plant, PLease! 

Blessings!

Rev. Ken Galyean – CTA
