Brother Tim Dodd was recording short interviews on the fly as he traveled through Uganda recently. These fascinating snippets include this interview with Brother Fred Kiyingi, who hosted an outside meeting for new Message ministers on the grounds of his church. The building could never accommodate the number who would attend, and not all ministers were invited, just to be sure the grounds would not be overrun. Hundreds were expected, but at least 1200 attended. Local government officials have been attending these and other meetings, with some of them receiving the Word as it is preached. In this podcast, Brother Tim and Brother Fred discuss this, and other victories.
