In Nkumba, Uganda there is a hum in the air from the activity at the House of Prayer Community Church.
Laura Fieg Kasibante, daughter of
Doug Fieg and
Susan Untiedt, is working side-by-side with her husband,
Chief Kasibante, to establish a new place of worship in this town near Entebbe in central Uganda.
The project began taking shape recently when the couple was advised they would be allowed only one more year to rent the church that had been their home for several years. As Laura wrote on Facebook, "the Holy Spirit put it on our hearts to launch a land campaign la
st
month (March). This is the promise God gave us: 1 Chronicles 17:9,
'Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant
them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor
shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously.' We
never could have imagined how fast this promise would be fulfilled."
Within a few weeks, property was found only one minute from their then house of worship and a campaign was launched to raise the needed funds. The money was quickly secured and then the work began.
A team of volunteers from
Calvary Chapel Oceanside in California flew in via Dubai to assist with construction. They had sent what was termed an Ark - a container full of supplies, furniture and even playground equipment (which was the first thing to be installed) for the new facility.
Work began right away and today the congregation enjoys a much larger building with room for all who wish to come and enjoy the services and events presented by this hard-working, dedicated couple and their family and friends.
