Just go wherever He calls you to go

WE RE READY TO GO
Riding 7hours from Kampala to Rukungiri, we were invited by Sue Morgan and Sunday.  These have been friends for two months since Paul and Pam Hunter invited them for a training about drilling wells, and this training took 7days. After that we received certificates from Mission Direct
 We enjoyed this training so so much. They were encouraging us about life and said that this will be a way to make money for the band and survive. After the training they promised that they would invite us to their place, so the day came and we enjoyed this trip. We were hosted by them for three days in the Rondavels hotel. Our first visit was at Sunday's village where we had to know his home and church. We walked around the village and enjoyed this new land where people really need Jesus Christ in their lives .



Singing in Sunday's village
The thanksgiving service was full of people and here we just realized that they have experienced the goodness of God because they know how to give and expose their hearts to the LORD. We had first the baptism early in the morning then started the thanksgiving at 9:00am. This thanksgiving was family by family and company by company.  Here we led the praise and worship and it was a good time with the church,  enjoying the overwhelming Presence.  In the afternoon everything was already set at Sunday's home, lots of families joined and enjoyed the time there together.  We sang, danced Majunda and shared the love of God together with them.
Praying at the mountain before the concert
While we were spending time together, we just realized that people need Jesus and other people to show them the love of Christ.  So they loved us and we loved them too.  Monday morning we visited the prayer mountain, had a good time there, walking around and praying also together for the overnight show.  This same time people were advertising in town playing our music and already days ago the banners and flyers where across the streets and tickets sold.  Also, V.I.P. were invited, so all Rukungiri was all about the Dove Voice Band.
 Blessed night
The overnight concert was very hot.  People enjoyed it so much and had a new dance together named " PAKA CHINI". There no one could remain in their seats because they were very excited to dance and lots of other people out side were enjoying it so much.  It was a great night.  God was in action. We finished at 3:00am  and slept very tired and in the morning after breakfast we started our way back to Kampala.
The mission was successful.
Thank you all dear friends for your prayers and always carrying us in your hearts.
 We enjoy doing what God tells us to do.We belong to HIM..

We are going somewhere

T he beginning wasn’t very easy, it was complicated, very tough (3years ago) without any treasure but we were full of hope and dreams, started few people, but today we are “A strong band” of man only, we are living our dreams and God is lifting us together, our dreams were faster to be live though the going wasn’t easy we presumed, you know life is a fight but the bible says "Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mountain Zion; they will not be defeated but..." Psalm125.God has been on our side. Our first Album”Dieu d’Amour” or God of love came out on 2010, these were African songs only. On 2011, we’ve recorded a new Album in title “NONE LIKE YOU”, these are 8 English songs and 1 in Swahili, they are going to be ready on the market of CD very soon, It is is copyright in the U.S.A
We have been sitting around this table with our friends discussing about how they can work together with us and support us in these days before us cause there are so much work to do with this album, God has been putting us in their hearts and make them trust us, they said yes to our vision and appreciated it so much. Having our own instruments and go in the whole world bringing the gospel through our music was the main point we started to talk about because many people knew about us and were just listening to our songs and hearing in roomers of our story for a long time, but they didn’t know who we are and what is our purpose and mission in this ministry, the reality about us.
Our first meeting few days ago in the Holy Spirit church Most of them were Faithful to answer to our call, it really was a great time, Aaron one of them is a good friend of us, was the moderator of the day. We believe that God is the one who has brought these people in our lives and He is still bringing others, people us joining us in our dreams, God is good. (Jhon1:12-13), we are glad and enjoy to be called Sons of God, and this: since we accepted Him to be our savior and Lord in our lives, for the work and sacrifice He made at Golgotha when He delivered us from the hands of Satan, we love to sing for His glory.

WE DEPENT ON HIM

God is good all the time and all the time...

We are giving glory back to Him in our lives.Even though He has gifted and talented us,we are learning to obey Him in our calling.Whenever He calls us,whatever He wants us to do,wherever He directs us to go,we are saying YES because He has the best for us...

We are carrying the Gospel depending on Him no matter the circumstances.On 7th October 2011,we were invited to minister to an overnight at N'Sambya Worship Center;this is an Ugandan Church which organizes a night of praise and worship once a year,and they always invite us to be part of them.

It started from 10:00pm-6:00am,a good time of praise and worship.


 We really experienced the power of God moving and we were happy to be used by Him in displaying his LOVE to his people.We related to everyone,moved by faithful-obedience,He used us as instruments for his GLORY...The preacher of the night said:"When we worship God in spirit and truth,we can't remain the same."





We discovered that God needs also our love,our attention and our affection,then we refreshed,repented of our selfishness,we sat down and humbled ourselves before Him,connecting to His heart's desires.

It was a good time to be concentrated and everyone found himself closed to the Father,worshiping Him as God.We saw men and women bowing down before Him expressing their gratitude to Him that made them,that didn't  love them in words only,but also in did by giving his only begotten son to us.

God is so so good, He deserves our praise and He is worthy of our worship.

Let His Spirit  have his way in you and guide you as you worship.

Miraculous Concert


    We came from Kampala on Thursday, July 7th in the evening when Peter was sent by Papa to take us to Jinja. We were a team of 15 Doves:  Yves, Aksanti ,Freddy,Serge Kazi, Kaji, Jackson, Serge Cikoma, Robert, Jimmy, Espoir, Boris, Akili, Convoi, Innocent, Sam and Sami. Reaching late at night we didn't go directly to bed, because our hearts were very excited for our family in Jinja, yeah! As everybody knows: Jinja is our Home, so we didn't like to rush to bed till we enjoyed each other of our family and praying together. Jeff has got a heart of wishing us success and he is really a good brother to us. Sometimes events are not ones we can imagine and they really amaze us. The time on Friday he wanted to check out our songs to be ready and it was a good time to revise our arrangement.
   This event was very different and amazing, and we didn't expect what God did for us that night.  We sang at a  restaurant called The Keep, where they have live music on Friday nights.  We started approaching the stage at 8:00pm and God was making a way in every thing .We met many people ready on their chairs, very excited for the music. Each person payed 3,000sh to have access and many others didn't have access to come in because the place was full even before we began. Our CD's were being sold by Mom, after 45 minutes we had a break and we were suprised to see many people who also payed their money sitting outside and enjoying our music from there. Papa told us to sing again outside for these people. We sang an accapela song and they enjoyed it so much. It was a blessed night that no one would like to miss. After 15 minutes we came back on the stage, and it was the time that people were very excited and ready to dance. Everybody was very free and very ready to express his feelings. They were not asked to stand but they found themselves up and dancing and enjoying the concert. God is doing a great work in Jinja. Jinja is a town of very busy persons and Muslims but God is changing them. After another 45 minutes of singing, it was the end of the concert. We used that time to celebrate Todd Bukkenya and Hannnah Smith's birthdays at the same place.  Mom brought out a large chocolate cake to serve everyone after the Dove sang "Happy Birthday".  And then the band sang an encore song, "Angels".
   This concert was organised by Papa and Mom, and it has really been successful.  We thank you for your prayers and for always having the heart of praying for us.  We thank God, our creator, who enabled us to make this good work.  May it please Him.
    We slept well, although we enjoyed each other and shared about our evening before ending the day.  On Saturday, we had a good breakfast before joining The Caring Place boys for a soccer match between The Dove and those young boys who love soccer so much.  We were too tired to be much competition for them, and they beat us 6-1.  We were just happy to end the game so we could rest.  We ate together and enjoyed the boys until Peter took us back to Kampala in the evening, so we could prepare for Sunday.
    On Sunday morning, Papa and Mom joined us in Kampala in our home church.  Papa shared the message in our main service and Mom shared in the youth service after that.  We are hoping they will come back in a few weeks to continue teaching us about marriage and relationships and have a good time of questions and answers.

A Couple Days ...

     Plenty of Blessings. 

     Thursday 24th Jun 2011,we had an invitation from papa Paul &Pam Hunter for two nights in their home at Jinja. They took us from Nakumatt at 2:00Pm, where our brother Jeff Kasigwa also joined us.
We departed from there and reached Jinja in the evening when we met our sisters Blair , Robyn and Sera Kasonga cooking food for us and making ready our rooms. We came: Boris, Jackson, Yves, Jimmy, Robert, Espoir, Serge and Sami. We enjoyed a good night.

Prayer for our sisters
     Friday morning, we were ready at 8:00am for breakfast because Mom woke up early to make everything ready. After breakfast, Blair shared with us about “Proverbs 24”, expressing herself how she understands what God is doing in their lives about forgiveness and having a heart of loving people like her (parents, extended family and other relationships). We discovered that these girls are very different now, they were able to share and open their hearts and after that they felt free. God is really doing His work in them, they are changed people. Their today is not like yesterday, and we praise God. We were very blessed by these girls when they were sharing with us. Papa Paul & Pam, Jeff, Mark and us enjoyed so much that time with Blair and Robyn, after this we prayed for them.

     10:00am, Papa brought us at a restaurant named “THE KEEP” for an audition. We went there with Blair and Robyn, then mom met us after. That morning was very wonderfully blessed with singing and dancing. The owner of “THE KEEP” was there, the waiters and customers watching and enjoying us.
Dove audition 
We praise God for Papa Paul that he is loving us more than we can imagine. We are not setting back but God is using him to push us in opportunities. He doesn’t insulate us in this ministry but he likes when we minister in freedom. After auditioning this morning, the owner of The Keep, approved and now we come back and sing on Jul 8th. We will have 90 minutes to sing praise and worship and whatever else we want. We look forward to this wonderful night. You are, everybody, welcome to experience God together with us this night of July 8th. When  the afternoon came, we went back home for practice and we enjoyed Jeff ’s advise for revising our songs.

      Our closing night has been powerful. We felt heaven coming down when we were worshipping with our brother Jeff in the sitting room. It has been a good time for God to manifest His power among us.
Prayer for God's Son, Our Brother Mark
Mark, a 54years old man of God from U.S, shared with us and taught us about ‘DISCIPLESHIP‘. It was a good time to be mentored again, to know which kind of disciple we have to be. Each time we come to Jinja we experience mentorship, no matter how short our time is here.

A Day Well Spent

                           Sunday June 12, 2011, we were invited by Papa Paul to minister in a church named "Christ Worship Church"at Mukono.We left Kampala at 8:15 and reached Mukono at 9:30
14 of us were ready and able to go: Robert, Innocent, Jimmy, Yves, Mukuki, Joseph, Convoi, Serge Cikoma, Espoir, Serge Kazi, Aksante, Boris, Jackson and Sami. Every time, we are motivated and ready to do what God wants us to do, if He calls us to any corner.  We are His soldiers.
We sang well,  and  praise God, He enables us whenever we call on Him and we always see Him working in us.
It really has been a great time to spend in the presence of the Lord and a touching time to worship. Papa Paul has the vision to push us on and always likes our ministry to be known.  He really has the heart of a father.
After the service Mom spoke to the women and at the same time Papa talked to the youth.
The church blessed us with a love offering before closing.
Baby dedication by papa Paul
We were hosted by Pastor Enoch and his wife, Annette, in their home for dinner after the service.  We enjoyed fellowship with each other and our new friends before saying good-bye and heading to our homes.  We left Mama with a big heart from a close time together in the Spirit, even though it was hard for her to say good-bye to the band.
