Just How Amazing Is Your God??

January 20, 2015

I was reminded this week of the people in Exodus, making their way by the cloud during the day and the pillar of fire at night.  The people knew when and where to move, as well as the moments to be still.

Pastor Gerald had several members of Bweya Community Church (BCC) join us one afternoon at the church.  We enjoyed spending time together as they openly shared how they came to the BCC and what the church as meant to them.

One particular family, consisted of a mother named Dorothy, her 2 adult daughters and 4 grandchildren.  This family is from Rwanda, where the mother left to escape the remnants of violence, to locate work.  In doing so, she left her 2 daughters behind in Rwanda.

Dorothy was gone for a long period of time when the daughters decided to travel to Uganda and look for her.  While they were searching for her in Uganda, Dorothy returned to Rwanda looking for her daughters.  The daughters feared their mother was dead.  Having no money, food or shelter, the 2 girls were passing through Bweya village and stopped at   BCC in hopes of someone helping them.

The church had very little to offer the girls except a small parcel of land to cultivate vegetables, and shelter in a storage closet behind the church.  The girls accepted the hospitality of BCC and they remained.

Meanwhile, after returning to Rwanda, Dorothy was informed that her daughters had traveled to Uganda to find her. She headed back to Uganda in search of her daughters She searched for months with no success.

After fearing her daughters dead, Dorothy passed through the Bweya community, stopping at the church.  As she began sharing the details of her journey, Dorothy learned her daughters were staying there behind the church.

God delivered a miracle to this family!  The moment Dorothy learned of her daughters' whereabouts, she immediately began singing and dancing, in celebration of finding her once-thought dead, daughters.
