One of the main things we are developing is the Wednesday Night Service at UCF. And by we, I mean me (Kyle), Trey, Ben and Patrick (pastors at UCF).
For this summer series, we have a guy named Rogers (pictured below) teaching apologetics to our congregation. Trey met him through a connection with AIM and brought him to come help people understand what they believe and why they believe. We were already planning on something similar, but when he met Rogers, we thought, "Hey, here is a Ugandan guy that's already doing it, and far better than we could, so let's bring him in." Its been a fantastic time of teaching our people how to think critically about the teachings they hear around Kampala. Many distortions of our gospel exist here and it can be very tricky to determine the difference between true and false teachers. Many are led astray. Most recently, a teaching called the "Grace Gospel" (a religious group teaching that since God is gracious, we can sin all we want) swept through Makerere's campus, leading even some of our own members away from the truth. It is becoming increasingly important to develop a culture of discernment among our church members.
We are really starting to gain some good momentum with this midweek service. Our focus right now is the training of more small group leaders. With more people coming, we need more groups! Pray for this recruitment and training as we make more disciples of the truth!
