ITEM Ministries

Dear ITEM Partner, I am at the end of Sunday and am nearing the end of this trip. Once I get to within a week of returning home, things seem to pick up speed. I think another factor is that I am in my last location. All of the traveling from one country to another is done. Next stop, HOME! Church was enjoyable and I felt like God was honored and the church was encouraged.

Dear Friends of ITEM,

Nigeria is perhaps the most strategic country on the African continent when it comes to the spreading of the gospel. And as you might assume, that means that the challenges here are perhaps greater than those in other countries.

After a long day of riding in a van from Ishaka (west Uganda) to Entebbe, where we were last weekend, Banana Village. The time in Ishaka was filled “wall to wall” mostly leaving little time to reflect and report. Today I would like to finish what I wanted to share yesterday, reflect on the apologetics road ahead while offering an answer to the most asked question about God and Christianity, and look to my next stop, Nigeria.

We are actually in the middle of the second day of the Apologetics Conference in Ishaka, Uganda at Ishaka Community Church. I am taking a break from one of the lectures so I can get this started and I hope to finish later tonight. It has been a full, information packed day. Some of the information was common apologetics themes but one in particular was cutting edge and definitely futuristic.

Dear Prayer Partners, I am at the end of a long Monday. We left the Apologetics Summit location about 8:40am and arrived at the location for the Apologetics Summit at 3:15pm. And we’ve spent most of the time to now (8pm) “hanging out” and planning. We met with the hosts, the pastor and some members of Ishaka Community Church and by the time the meeting was finished I feeling like the bar for my presentations was being set pretty high.

We finished up our Apologetics Summit today. I was mostly a spectator. But before the day was over I had to take a close look at what how God wants me to spend the next few years with the intent of developing an ITEM youth ministry using apologetics as a springboard. I think I gained some clarity but there is more time and prayer needed to figure this out.

We are finishing up our long day of the East Africa Apologetics Summit and I must tell you that I have been blown away by what I have heard today as speaker after speaker shared what they are doing individually in this critical area. I must admit that I felt like a rookie in the ministry of apologetics. At the same time, I felt right at home. Click Read More Below and Find Out Why.
