GOD's Bar

Sunday evening on the way back to the guesthouse three of our group (one Ugandan and two Mzungu) decided to go into a bar and share. A table of three men invited them over to visit. They come to that bar nightly and had been there for a while already that night. The Word of God was shared. They told the men they could have eternal joy instead of temporary happiness from their drink. The men said they don't get any happiness from their drink, they just numb themselves from their hopelessness. The four men invited our three men to come back the next night.
Monday night our men returned and did not find the four so they went door to door sharing. Apparently the barmaid went and told the men that our guys had come and they hurried to the bar. When our men returned to the bar they were greeted eagerly. The men said GOD had given them new birth and they were now followers of Christ. They wanted prayer so that they would have additional peace. The four men from the bar shared with the barmaids and asked if they could meet again the following night.
Tuesday night the four men were there along with six friends they were sharing with. Those six wanted to follow Christ. The next night eight more. One of the men owns some properties and is making them available for three house churches that are being started for these men and others they are reaching. A special baptism ceremony has been arranged for them this weekend. We serve a mighty GOD!
