The Uganda Call



We finished The Call last week. There much controversy surrounding the event due to the fact that their is a bill that is in our Ugandan Parliament right now concerning homosexual laws. We presently have no laws in place in our governmental system for homosexuals other than homosexuality being illegal.

The controversy comes in because of one particular part of the bill that states that a person who is infected with HIV AIDS that infects a minor under 18 - would be deserving of the death penalty. This is is already the existing the law for heterosexuals that commit this crime.

The church wants to see the bill's penalty lowered to from the death penalty to a prison (For both homosexuals and heterosexuals) sentence - but the homosexual agenda around the world is calling this bill - "kill the gays" bill and have made it into something that it is not.

Anyway, Lou Engle who is the Founder and leader of The Call has held prayer rallies in the US - most notable in San Diego to raise a trumpet call for prayer and fasting in favor of marriage between a a man and woman.

So the media stirred up lies about The Uganda Call as a rally to incite violence against gays.

Numerous media outlets were on hand for the event. I was personally interviewed by Al Gore's network called "Current TV".

Jesse Engle - Lou's son - joined his father on the trip along with Stuart Greaves from IHOP (who has lead the prayer at the International House of Prayer for the last 10 years for midnight to 6 AM session for six days a week). Stuart and Jesse both had a chance to minister in our church in separate sessions. Lou Engle also had a chance to visit our church and prayed over us. It was the same Sunday that our own Pastor Rick Seaward from Singapore preached in our church for the first time.

So it was quite an eventful Sunday
