My first trip to Uganda was in 2014 when I accompanied my husband on a visit to Dominion Church in Kampala. My husband has returned many times to Uganda to minister to pastors and leaders.
In May 2023 I had the privilege of returning with him to Uganda and I was invited to speak to the women at Dominion Church’s annual Bible Faith Conference and at the annual Woman Believer Conference hosted by the Pearl Haven Christian Center in Mbale a town about 225 km or 5 hours drive away. Fully describing our experience in Uganda is impossible, but I wanted a place to store the four talks I gave to the women. I was thrilled to be able to minister God’s word to an eager audience and was blessed to witness life in Uganda and the faithful followers of Jesus persevering despite difficulties beyond our comprehension.
The ladies were a very encouraging and accepting audience and I praise God for the opportunity I had to share the Word of God. All the talks were translated into the local Luganda language so they take a bit longer to listen. You may want to change the replay speed to 1.25 or 1.5! I also must mention that the weather in Uganda was very hot and humid for us! The temperatures throughout the year are pretty stable and every day had a low of 19 and a high of 29 C (that’s 66-84 F). Because of the humidity, by the end of the talks most speakers are dripping with sweat!

Day One Workshop for Women: Overcoming Challenges

Day One: Seeking the Blessing of God
In this talk I include a short testimony of my journey to salvation through Jesus Christ. At the close of this talk I give an imperfect recitation of 2 Corinthians 4, a passage that has brought great encouragement to me. It was a thrill to be able to share God’s word and I pray it powerfully impacts people to have a hunger for God’s word and an understanding that it is possible to memorize it and hold it in our hearts.
Day Two: The Protection of Faith
At the close of this talk I give a recitation of 1 Peter 1 and explain how this passage brought me comfort and encouragement during 2020 and beyond as we witnessed an unprecedented world wide reaction which filled many with fear.
Becky Hastings collects information on health and tries her best to discover and share truth. By God’s grace, through Jesus Christ, I was saved, blessed with a husband of over 40 years, and five precious babies all grown up. I now get to delight as ten grandchildren grow! Together we can help each other discover a healthy path in this crazy upside down world.
