Update; 06/06/2022
Since the May 7th 2022 12,000 person crusade things have been expanding and changing quickly. The first virtual crusade we did was on 11-06-2021 and drew 700 people. The second crusade on 02-06-2022 and it drew 2100 people. We did a Christmas feast and a couple leadership summits in-between. We realized the effectiveness of these kinds of events so Felix's people in Uganda along with me and Wes Munyon's crew here in the states decided to shoot for a 10,000 person Gospel extravaganza on 05-07-2002. 11,000 people showed up! Many souls were reached with the Gospel and 2 people got healed of blindness! Hundreds are now in need of baptism and discipleship.

Since the last crusade Pastor Felix https://ccumu.org/ says the Word has spread beyond the borders of the Kyaka II refugee settlement. We have 700 people needing baptisms and the number is growing. We also have gotten invitations to preach in other area's. The Kyaka II refugee settlement is the main focus because it has the most need, but we also want to sow into other potential leaders in unreached areas to spread the Gospel far and wide. We also have various humanitarian projects that people can sow into such as livestock, farming, digging wells, micro businesses etc. My job is to add fuel to the fire through prophetic motivational preaching, sharing vision and connecting the unconnected to hidden Kingdom resources. They want me there for the whole month of July! The harvest is ripe, we just need the financial resources to go do the ingathering and disciple making. If you want to sow into our efforts, the need is great, but so are the rewards! Just go to our Support Partners page.
As prosperous as Americans are living in the "rich" Laodicean Church age we should not hesitate when comes to how we should distribute our sacred portions. The bible is clear that God is concerned with justice for the poor, widows, orphans etc. I have heard it said that just a fraction of the total American tithe directed to the right projects is enough to complete the great commission world wide. We just need to wake up, open our eyes and see that the fields are white for the harvest.
John 4:35-38. Here are some of the goals needs and expenses that we have for fulfilling this mission trip .
Goals:
Meet and fellowship with the people, share the Word and pray with Pastor Felix and his network of associates. Many have been helping with local and regional evangelism and the virtual crusades we have done. Felix ministry is Cornerstone Christian Union Mission of Uganda. https://ccumu.org/ I have been sowing into his work when possible since I met him on a 2016 YWAM mission trip to Uganda.
My goal is to stir up revival streams through prophetic evangelistic preaching, release strategies from the Lord to know Him better, establish houses of prayer, win souls, make disciples and sustain a lifestyle of ever increasing faith.
Felix is planning to take me to meet 1000 pastors and elders and says many communities shall be reached by us either directly or indirectly. Some of the places we will visit are Tororo, Eastern Uganda Zombo, Northern Uganda Kimboga and Luwero Central Uganda & the greater Kampala metropolitan region. We will also minister in the refugee settlement where we did the crusades in Kyaka II.
We will be staying with a small team in a rented house in Kampala (the biggest city) and traveling to and from there by car to the various regions.

02/05/2022 Evangelistic crusade 2000 people expected
05/07/2022 Big Evangelistic festival 10,000 people expected. See poster below
This is Felix the Pastor I met in Uganda in 2016. We have established a House Of Prayer and the number of intercessors is growing. Our aim is to reach the 123,000 refugees in 9 zones of the Kyaka settlement. They are currently mobilizing for a 10,000 person evangelistic crusade. There is a humanitarian component to our work as well. This is what we are in need of support partners for. If you want to sow into this effort please go to our support partners page.
Update: 12/13/2021 Felix just sent me some pictures. This is one of 4 church groups started after our "Hope in the Settlement" crusade on 11/06/2021. It is the Mukondo group. About 46 people.
I have asked pastor Felix to give me a breakdown of needs for the 4 Church communities that have been birthed from our first crusade. Here are the current requests from pastor Felix.
Greetings Men of God;
I have delayed to respond but now am able to answer the question you have asked me. Currently people are meeting in Four locations / Churches regularly and many more in small home gatherings since 6th the November 6th fire. We continued to keep the flames alive through Discipleship programs.
We continue to minister to those hungry and thirsty for Jesus Christ among the people we serve directly. I have Five missionary Couples pastors we are serving together day to day in four locations within the Refugee settlement.
The other Leaders in other churches and missions are ready to help mobilize people to attend our upcoming events.
The main resistance we meet is that people we are serving are not able to support our local missionaries and pastors. They are financially incapacitated. We need at least 100 plastic chairs in our main meeting here in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement
If the other three meeting places would get 50 chairs each it would be a relief.
Something else we wish to buy is plots of Land to start farming animals.
Bukere $1000
In SweSwe $350
In Mukondo $350
In Itambabiniga $350
Our upcoming events with you are
Christian Leadership Summit on 8th January 2022 its budget is $800
Online Crusade on 5 February 2022. Its budget is $ 2400
Hard copies of Bibles in tribal languages are needed
Audio Bibles (proclaimers for Bible study groups)
We want a Training Center for Women $2000
A Duck distribution project
A Mushroom Farming Project
On the 24th of December we will share hope through a special Christmas meal to the children, widows, elderly people.... we hope to reach 1000 souls

with Evangelist Wes Munyon and Ricardo O’Kane
“Come to Jesus“ Matthew 11:28 Your Story Must Change….

Update: 11/08/21
The crusade was successful as 700 people were impacted by the gospel message!
Though we were having a little bit of difficulty at first with doing the translation, things smoothed out and I shared a short direct to the point kind of message with an invitation to receive Jesus as Lord. Wesley Munyon did a longer message with his bold kind of Kingdom preaching believing for God to verify the message with signs wonders and miracles.
God showed Himself faithful! The main manifestation that happened was 9 people were cured of various levels of deafness. One person said they had not been able to hear since the year 2000! I believe that manifestation was a message for me because I am concerned with people developing "Ears to hear" the Gospel message. Also with the Proclaimer audio bibles that I am distributing, the theme of the company is "Faith Comes By Hearing" Pastor Felix thanked us for helping them to bring in his words, "revival" to their communities.
This is just a start. Felix said they will start a new Church community in the refugee camps with the people who showed up. They already met for a Church service the following day with 80 people. We were limited with number of people who we could minister to because of covid protocols and location restrictions but at the next event we expect to have thousands more. Felix and other leaders are already starting to mobilize for a 10,000 plus Crusade. They will be preparing new leaders for the overflow afterward and to birth new Church communities... I want to give a special thanks to the people who helped pastor Felix in Uganda and those who sowed financially into this project, may the Lord multiply your store of seed...
Update 11/12/21
Pastor Felix has informed me that since the November 6th crusade had an overflow of new people, they started a new Church congregation. They need 100 more plastic chairs that cost $7 each. If anyone wants to contribute to that need please let us know...

I met pastor Felix and his family on my YWAM mission trip to Uganda in 2016. We have stayed in contact since and I have helped to support his ministry while I wrestled with my own calling. Recently since the covid pandemic things have shifted to more online types of ministries. Wes and his partners at Jubilee church have started live video crusades to Pakistan with surprising results. God has been showing up as He has promised in His Word. Since my mission trip to Uganda in 2016 I have kept facebook contact with a few ministers in the Kampala area. Now I have reconnected with Wes and he asked if I knew people in other countries who would help with setting up a live crusade in their nation. We have connected with friends and are planning a crusade in Uganda November 6th. The Nations represented in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement are BURUNDI - RWANDA - DR CONGO - SOMALIA & nearby UGANDAN NATIONALS Among these nations many tribal nations are included. As of 2017 there were 113,000 refugees in the settlement. See links below.

07/22/18 From my 2016 YWAM Mission trip to Uganda
When I envisioned how I could reach large numbers of people, I have felt the need to leverage my efforts more effectively. As I searched for contemporary missionary strategies I came across an article about "Mobilization" This is what my spirit was looking for. “Essentially mobilization refers to any process by which God’s people are awakened and kept moving and growing until they find their place for strategic involvement in the task of completing world evangelization, whatever role that may be. (See article on Mobilization page)
My vision is to; "Connect the Unconnected" to the Kingdom of God
1) Introducing people to the gospel and getting God's Word into their hands.
(eradicating bible poverty and illiteracy)
2) Encouraging people to grow in the knowledge of God and getting them connected to life giving relationships.
3) Strengthening people who have made a commitment to serve in the Kingdom of God and connect them to the best resources available to help them complete their ministry calling.

In 2016 I did a Discipleship Training School with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). Visiting a third world country really makes you realize and appreciate how much we have in the United States. We need to open our eyes, John 4:35-38 and realize how much responsibility God has given to those of us with a gospel centered worldview, especially those of us that have access to means. I have helped to support an African mission school since being back in the states. If you would like to help with funding for Pastor/Missionary Felix Nshimiyimana his family and their mission school, please go to the donation page and note what its for. Every american dollar we send to this missionary family goes 6 times as far as it does in the states.
