Allow me to testify of God’s faithfulness towards me this month. He’s been faithful regardless of my faithlessness. I can’t help but rejoice at the thought of it.

Early this year, the Spirit of God prompted me to join Harvest Institute to pursue the leadership course. My friend had described how challenging it would be but I quietly decided to try it out. I quickly discovered the serious financial obligation involved; this went beyond the tuition fees which I could afford but stretched to the monthly books I needed to read, then the Generosity if Kings assignment, the self sponsored trip by air to Nairobi for the Annual fearless concert and all the processes around book writing.

I kept thinking of how I would manage all this and I couldn’t figure out how it would happen. Nevertheless I didn’t let the financial obligations of the future – (read couple of months) bother me. I heeded to Jesus’ call in Matthew 6:34 ‘not to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’ I concentrated on the monthly assignments and enjoyed every bit of learning opportunity as it came and believed in God to see me through when the time came.

The month of March presented itself with lots of controversy. With the world wide outbreak of Covid 19 pandemic, several countries announced lockdown Uganda inclusive. I went into panic as I had to work from home and wasn’t sure how this would go. With kids out of school, curfew and ban on private and public transport; I didn’t know what to expect. I was happy when class continued on zoom. However, with airports closed, I knew the fearless summit which I had paid registration fees for hanged in balance. I chose to wait on the Harvest institute Administration to guide on the matter. Steadily I continued with the course.

It really excited me early this month when Mavuno church decided to do a virtual conference and the best news is that it was free. OMG…this was the best news I received this month; reason; I wouldn’t have to hussle getting money for a ticket, accommodation while in Nairobi and meals. My big Father in heaven paid it all, I just had to buy data and enjoy all the sessions. I could even invite a friend that was interested.

I then thought of those students who could have dropped out of the course 2 months into commencement after learning of the costs involved, or those that had scheduled commitments in June and couldn’t be available for the conference and thereby opted to leave the course. I almost dropped out of the course as well but decided to leave it all to God.

This just confirms Jeremiah 29:11 that says; ‘I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’

Who would have thought of attending such a prestigious conference for free and in the comfort of you home or office? And to mention that all issues discussed were relevant to our current times; the speakers had terrific presentations and the music was amazing. I wouldn’t ever imagined this happening. I believe HI too didn’t ever think of a virtual conference.

And to top it all, being virtual didn’t mean less value, it only elevated it and gave it global viewership like never before. I believe future fearless conferences have overwhelming attendance, myself inclusive. I had such a great time of learning and I seriously took home some parenting tips that will really help my family.

My next challenge is the book, I believe the God that enabled me attend the fearless summit for free will also provide resources for my book project. I have come too far to give up and I believe many fellow students have the same feeling. Let’s keep the faith and trust in our God, lets rest assured that He that begun the great work in us will surely see it to completion.
