Northgate Baptist and Food For the Hungry
Northgate Baptist partners with Food For the Hungry and a small village called Marare, in Uganda, to help them become a self sustainable community. From building classrooms, supporting entrepreneurship and leadership skills, to sponsoring children from the community, we hope to help transform Marare to the point where they can help themselves as well as neighbouring communities.

Day 7 - Sun Nov 4 - St. James Marare church
The team joined Marare this morning at their church, St. James church.
Pastor John's message and Deon's testimony were moving.
Three people came to Christ. The time at Moses' home was also great for the team.
Diniz said he was not well in his stomach. Moses told him to eat and that he would then feel better. Sure enough he felt better and stronger for the rest of the day.
Chris was moved by Faith's prayer (Moses' grade 5 daughter). The service was 3.5 hours long so everyone was tired by the time they got back from Moses.
John is well and Bill is on the mend. He got out of bed this morning and I spent the day talking with him. He'll join us for supper. Jenni is now queezy and will not take food. She used Imodium and could be out in the day but still needs to mend. Please continue to pray.
WORDS FROM PASTOR JOHN:
Today we expierienced a Marare church service. The team participated in several ways. We sang two songs, Deon shared his testimony and Pastor John preached on the "Good News" using the five fingers on his right hand. God moved in a powerful way. As Moses gave the invitation, three adults invited Christ into their lives. One of the three that came forward was Godfrey, one of the grooms just married yesterday. After a rather lengthy but fruitful service the team enjoyed the hospitality of FH leader Moses and his wife's place. What a beautiful family inside and out. Grace thanked Northgate for the hospitality we extended to Moses during his visit to Edmonton last year.
Please pray for health and rest for the team as we are expieriencing some fatigue and illness.
Blessings from Pastor John and team
