Dear Brethren,

Greetings to you again in His name--Lord Jesus Christ.

I am sure, some of you have never visited our Church web site that was under re-construction in the last one month. It is still being activated. But, you can try to click on some visible pages your spiritual loop about the Faith For Global Deliverance which we usually call Faith Christain Fellowship due to the fact that Faith and Fellowship manifest deliverance.

Anyway, I am so excited to share with you this.http://faithforglobaldeliverance.org/

Please, pray for the safety of The Divine Mission International relief team that travelled to Southern Sudan last friday. Life in Sudan is hardening for the common person day after day--and the majority are the children. The Sudanese government's decision to suspend the biggest Relief Agencies has caused great plight to Sudanese, especially those in Juba, Kasara and Darfur.

God bless you all with your Ministries.

In His grace,

David Lubaale

Subject: Seasonal Greetings and Updates



Dear Friends "Brethren",
I am very grateful for your generous catch of brotherhood, friendship with fellowship since I became your CEAN friend online.

It doesn't matter who befriended who first or last; but instead, the Christian legacy that emerged from within our friendship.

I am sure and Spiritually confident that, if we remain focused on our unified call through networks like CEAN, the Lord's Church will feel His divine breathe and blessings.

I would like to share with you this testimony! For those who are familiar with the photo (children dancing) on our CHATA Group page, it is a picture of our Victoria Junior School Music Team. We have prayed and supported this team for over 2 years now. Last month, during the National Music Festival of Junior/Primary Schools in Uganda, our team became the overall winner! It took place at our National Theatre here in Kampala City, the capital of Uganda. Indeed, out of the 72 selected best teams, ours emerged number one!

To get a little meaning about our National Victory of such a rural team winning within the Capital of the nation, try to attend any of the Music Concerts that Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda would be performing in any USA arena. By looking and listening to the music of those talented children, you will somehow relate to what Victoria Junior School Music Team triumphed across the nation.

Therefore, I would like to encourage you my friends, to always pray for our Lord's Church to fully understand and embrace the mystery of music and art in the realms of salvation and how the world can be transformed.
We enjoy music and art. And the total concept is how the music and art transforms your Christian life and draws you closer onto the Lord. We are all prime witnesses of this mystery.

;;;;;MY MESSAGE CONTINUES IN THE NEXT POST;;;;;


Also, I know that my friends at CEAN are few right now! But since our God doesn't count on the availability of thousands, tens or hunderds in order for Him to make a difference through His chosen vessels, I foresee a great impact that Africa will house resulting from our friendship.

For example;
1. Moses and Aaron became chosen vessels to redeem the Israelites (Ex 7:1-2) not because our God didn't know the importance of greater numbers/math/statistics
2. Elijah couldn't wait on the 7,000 before representing our Lord in the battle against the Prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:21-42)! He triumphed!
3. Shadrach, Meshach and Abdenego regardless of what the consquences of their mistreatment in Babylon could have been PLUS the limited number to effect impact--if gauged by human analysis, they didn't hesitate to disapprove the power of king and his men (Dan 3:13-30) by testifying about the Mightness of their Lord and God. They overcame fear!
4. Joseph didn't campaign for any post in Egypt. But he was appointed--though thousands and thousands of other people existed. He served the Lord. (Gen 41:39-44).He reigned.

I believe you know all these scriptures, brethren! Let us look forward and serve our Lord!
We are the complete image of His unfading work (Salvation). We are His Ambassadors in His Ministry of Reconciliation. We were chosen!

Thanks for being my friend.

Blessings to you all.
David

Subject: On The Creative Edge Artist Network Community: Hi CHATA Members

A message from David to all members of CHATA-Christian Hearts of Art Transforming Africa on The Creative Edge Artist Network Community!

Hi CHATA Members,
I am so grateful to inform you that, Victoria Junior School Music Team won the prestigious Title of The Uganda National Music Festival of Junior Schools last month. Being the victor, Victoria Junior School part of the CHATA mission, received 38,000,000 Uganda Shillings, equivalent to $20,000 as a Cash Prize plus a donation of 1 Classroom Block wothy $32,000 that is to be constructed by the District Education office of Namutumba.

We have today, decided to donate $10,000 to children of Southern Sudan (Nimule, Gulumbi and Kasara) out of the Cash Prize through Sudanese Council of Churches. Yes! There are needy children also in Uganda. But we have prayed about this and the Board of Directors of The Divine Mission International (TDMI) resolved to have this donation sent.

Pray for the children of Sudan and Pray for the Sudanese Council of Churches to put these funds into their best use. We prefered the Council praying them medicine, mosquito nets, clothes, and textbooks.

Our last TDMI Team returned from Sudan yesterday.

We also pray for you.

More Blessings in His name,
David

Wow! All your ideas as usual, are inspiring.

Yes! I have already received an invitation from Dan Okabe to be my friend. He also talked about you in his introductory message. We are now friends.

I am so excited that you will be meeting with Dan, Heather, Michille and others by name at the Watoto Concert. Bless you our Lord.

I will try to keep the discussion here as your advise touches the truth of its necessity.
Greetings to brother Joey.

In His grace,
