"Come Out From The Darkness" is a solid explanation of what this club is all about! The club was started by two teenage boys, Joseph and Moses, after an invitation to church changed their lives. These two orphans are so eager to spread the word of God. Read more about the founding of the club.
In December 2008 a group of about 40 Teens went on a crusade to Kampala. This was a group effort where the kids contributed what money they had and packed food to take and hired a bus for transportation. Our funding for this project, made possible by a donor, went far to help not only of the costs of the trip but it has impacted their spirit for the Lord! They are already talking of next year’s crusade.
We are approaching about one hundred youths, some of which have joined or are interested in joining the club. The club has a book of salvation that has check marks by the members that have accepted Jesus.
This group of youths is the future here in Uganda, and they are so eager to hear the Word. They are a lively bunch that loves to read scripture and share their thoughts. Maybe it is witnessing these teenagers to be on fire for the Lord that makes me so excited. It would be any youth pastor's dream to see this group in action. I know that in America it seems that we have to have activities or food for the youth to show up and keep their interest. But here I have met with this group on the grass in a football (Soccer) field, in a classroom on a hot Saturday afternoon, and under a shade tree with no more than our Bible. When we talked of ways for some of these kids to get a bible of their own someday, they break out in a cheer! Meeting with this group for bible study is a pretty awesome experience.
