Gerald’s first flight in an aeroplane

Evangelist Gerald is on the way to visit MegaVoice!

He writes:

My first flight! in Life-So exciting.
4 January 2018

I have never seen my family so excited in the past years till yesterday when I visited my mother in Entebbe to say good bye before my flight to SA.  At the moment I am at Kigali international airport where I await for my final destination flight (time 22h20).  Early this morning after I arrived in Kigali before writing this message to you Johan.  I had a Conversation on what’s up with my little sisters back in Uganda. Among the many words they said first were “big Amens, one said, I tap into the flight anointing, another Go brother, Go Man of God.  They were not sure if I am seriously traveling to abroad till I left at 4am with an air taxi and shortly posted on our family page photos in an aircraft. My mother actually said during the night that in the whole clan from my father’s side I am the first person to board an aircraft! WHATT??? It true.
They asked, so brother how does it feel to be on a flight? I said, it’s real nice. when setting off-you see houses below you and very small and later you see clouds below you! thou at some points you feel as if you are passing through humps and potholes. For sure, I was amazed that among safety instructions they gave were instructions in case you are drowning in the lake or sea! Then I said to myself, we are in air how comes we should except drowning in water…that I had to rest my peace not to bother my mind but to wait and see when I will need floaters. Otherwise it was as I used to watch it in movies and TV when I was young. 1. Orientation, 2. air hosts passing through with drinks and snacks etc I can’t wait to reach SA 5th-2am tomorrow. Perhaps my experience this time will be different from the morning experience. Keep me in prayers I am so excited. God bless.

Gerald A TUMUSIIME:

My first in life
It’s all because of serving Jesus.
For sure it’s been along await Dream seeing it come to pass.

Ready to depart……

In the air!

MegaVoice brought Bible alive for Steve

Steve Prowse listens to the Bible on his MegaVoice player

‘Even though my flesh is crumbling /
my spirit is singing because I know
He is near’
– two lines from the poem Steve Prowse wrote shortly
before his death in June this year, aged 48.

Steve became a Christian about 10 years ago, during
a serious illness. Within a couple of weeks he was
completely well and returned to work – convinced that
God was working in his life. He began attending Riverside
Church in Exeter and became a Street Pastor, patrolling
the streets at night to help the vulnerable.

Steve’s sight and mobility seriously deteriorated following
a diagnosis of aggressive multiple sclerosis. Becoming
unable to read the Bible was a huge loss to him – but he
loved the MegaVoice audio Bible supplied by Torch. ‘The
Bible comes alive when I listen to it,’ he said. ‘When you
read the Bible you are concentrating on reading, but
listening to it, you are taking it all in. It’s brilliant!’

Steve’s faith and positive attitude towards the end of his life
was a blessing to many. Steve was married to Joan from 1999.
She says that while he always prayed for healing they both
knew there were different kinds of healing – and in the end
there was the complete and final healing of going to heaven.

Labourers in the Kingdom of God

Gerald:

Today I am confronted with the situation of Evangelist and Missionary Gerald Tumusiime from Uganda. He is a willing and able worker in the Kingdom of God.

Lets turn to Scripture (ESV)

  • Luke 10:2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
  • Matthew 9:37-38 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

Usually we find it difficult to find people to send to the field. In Gerald’s case the hurdle is support. The Church in Uganda is not missions minded and it is very hard for a missionary to find support.

This is an appeal to you to prayerfully consider supporting Gerald. He needs to visit South Africa for training. He already has a visa which expire in January 2018. Without adequate support even the investment in a visa will be lost.

YOU CAN PARTICIPATE BY PARTNERING WITH GERALD!!!!

 

Thank you

Support Missionary Evangelist Gerald Tumusiime in Africa

I am Gerald A. Tumusiime, A Missionary/Evangelist. I am a Megavoice agent, megavoice ministry reaches out into communities around the world with the message of hope. Two years ago Megavoice Media center was officially opened in Uganda. For the past two years we have seen a great impact sharing words of encouragement to our communities in Uganda and in our nearby country friends; Kenya and Rwanda. Earlier this year in April Our missions team was in Kenya, Luanda for an outreach, with I carried some audio bibles it was amazing how Kenyans loved this audio bible.

To support /donate to Gerald follow the link

Around September I was in Kigali, Rwanda for a meeting and I saw a great need for audio bibles there due to the war genocide many people could not to school and even after the war many could not afford school but some families settled to teach their children their local language. I am preparing to travel back to Kigali Monday 20th this November for a conference, hope to talk more with the locals and get to make more connections and understand this area well.

What is our plan as MegaVoice in Uganda.

– Make Outreaches to deep communities in Uganda and East Africa at large with Megavoice solar powered audio bibles.

– To reach out in the blind communities.

– Reach-out to Christian leaders, its true that pastors, bishops, reverends among others are busy people, busy on travels etc…busy to a level that they can’t study the word of God but we sure that Megavoice bible with help pastors and leaders study the word anytime, everywhere

In January 2018, I need to be in South Africa at Megavoice Africa head offices with Johan Grobler (MD) for a planning meeting and field Training – I am here fundraising $2000 for this solar Bible outreach project. All donations will go toward payment of;

1- Flight ticket to SA

2- New laptop

3- Internet and mobile Airtime

4- meals, transport costs

5- work space

No matter how small or big you can contribute do it to help to reach the deeper ends of EA. Extra donation will purchase an audio bible at $35 for the old peoples and blinds who can’t read in Mbale in Eastern Uganda.

Wildlife StoryTellers Comfort Orphans in Southern Africa

Give them something to hug and love that speaks to them in their own heart language from God’s Word. Give them a Wildlife STORY TELLER animal with audio Bible inside.   Many children are left with out parents as a result of HIV / Aids and other reasons.  Many suffer abuse of various natures. These children need love and the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Providing comfort and God’s message of hope to children in an orphanage in Bloemfontein South Africa. See the joy on the faces! The children were very happy to receive the donation from a couple from the USA.

Wildlife STORY TELLERS — different soft, furry critters — share audio Bible stories with children and adults around the world in their own native tongue. The stuffed tigers, elephants, bears and others can be loaded with recordings in over 5,000 languages and dialects. When you place these animals in the hands of children and adults, it is a tactile reminder of God’s love.

MegaVoice leads the industry with Intuitive Keypads

MegaVoice leads with a range of solar powered audio Bibles with Intuitive Keypads

In selecting an audio player the key layout is important. It is even more important if the users are not literate or visually impaired. The MegaVoice Envoy S launched early 2014 also introduced a very innovative concept in its keypad.   This is not the first MegaVoice player with raised-buttons, the old Ambassador also had raised-buttons.   As early as September 2012 MegaVoice introduced the innovative layout with the Envoy Micro.

The keys are raised to assist the blind.  Only about 12% of the blind can read Braille but the raised keys are very easy to feel and locate.

The layout of the keys are intuitive which means it is where you would expect them to be!

MegaVoice introduced its smallest digital audio player, the Herald. The Herald is lightweight and cost effective – ideal for teaching and training. Its intuitive, raised-button keypad makes navigating hundreds of hours of audio and Scripture content quick and easy – even for the elderly or blind.

A solar powered audio player is much more than an ordinary commercially available mp3 player. For more information on these products please visit www.megavoice.com
