Amazing Relationship

God's ways are amazing!

Mama Pam & Papa Paul

We find ourselves occupied with our music, not in our home country of Congo, but in Uganda.  It is here that God gave us a relationship with Paul and Pam Hunter of the United States, but who live in Jinja east of Kampala where we all stay.  Through a mutual friend, Raoul Mugosa, who lives in Jinja, but is also from the Congo, we met a year ago.  Because Papa Paul and Mama Pam are in Uganda to disciple the next generation of leaders in Uganda we found ourselves with a relationship that has become significant.  For over ten years, the Hunters have been coming to Uganda to encourage, equip, empower and release the next generation to display the glory of Jesus. Four years ago they officially began Next Generation Ministries and now normally stay in Uganda for six months each year.  You can read about their activities in Uganda here.

Papa Paul and Mama Pam want their relationship with us to see Christ exalted in our personal and ministry lives. They have invited us to come to Jinja, paid our transport, feed us food, and even accommodated us at their home. They were our special guest when we launched our first CD and DVD on March 27, 2011.  They host short term missionaries from the United States and usually invite us to come play some of our music, worship, pray, and minister to the members of those teams.

Currently the Hunters are hosting a recently married couple from America, Matt and Kristi Bellamy, and wanted to share our lives and music with them.  Papa had to leave his compound at 7:45AM to come to Uganda to pick us from Kampala yesterday.  They invited some friends and neighbors to come to their compound, listen to our music, feed us some good food, and return us to Kampala so that we can minister in our church today.  They didn't get into their beds until early this morning after driving back to Jinja.

We never would have imagined God would give us a Mama and a Papa from the United States.  But, that's our God. The Hunters have invited a few of us to accompany them on a mission to Western Uganda sometime within the next month to six weeks.  We are all praying for it to come together so that we can benefit each other as we serve the Lord.  We honor them and want God to use them in our lives to encourage us, equip us and empower us for the glory of God.
