Bigheart Goes to Africa Recognised as a Charity by HMRC No XR98002
Newsletter Issue 6 September 2010
Our Vision To share the love and compassion of Jesus our Lord with orphans, widows and the needy, to assist and encour-
age them through practical and spiritual means. Working together bringing unity and value through God’s word,
building lives, putting a new song into their hearts — all to the glory of God.
Psalm 40 v 1 to 3 I waited patiently and expectantly on the Lord; and he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me out of a
horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings.
And he put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God that many shall see and fear (revere and wor-
ship) and put their trust in the Lord.
Bigheart Ministries visited Uganda and Kenya once again from 10 May to 29 July 2010.
This has let us see how God reveals his power and glory through those who walk in unity and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit step by step. The theme of the mission trip was that of unity through communion, anointing, and the blood of Jesus. Sharing and maintaining each aspect of the theme unlocked treasures and mysteries of God’s awesome power almost every day and everywhere Bigheart went. Three days ladies seminars. Many peoples lives have been changed for eternity through healings, salvation, deliverance, words of knowledge and prophecy. God not only blessed those who Bigheart ministered to but he also blessed the team of Bigheart bringing us closer together as a team and strengthening us spiritually which will result in equipping us for greater things to come. We are seeing and hearing how our ministry is impacting churches, villages and the nations that we are operating in within Africa though testimonies from Pastors and leaders and also those who we have ministered to through our spiritual and practical teaching. God is preparing hearts of many people through our vision to
run with it that many will see and fear and put their trust in God.
Mission Trip Highlights ...... our expectations were high this trip and God showed himself many many times throughout.... enjoy some of the highlights for He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power
that works in us Ephesians 3 v 20 God’s power has not diminished He is the same yesterday today and forever.
Gift of Knowledge – Healed in Jesus name! Kampala - 1 Corinthians 12 we read about Spiritual Gifts- Bigheart saw the manifestation of the spirit through the gift of knowledge when the Spirit of the Lord told Mandy of sickness on a ladies body, specifically her kidneys, a supernatural revelation of information that was completely unknown before, when the lady in ques-tion revealed that was so, hands were laid upon her and the healing power of Jesus brought complete restoration. Many more
received their healing in like manner and we saw visible evidence of His activity testimonies have been powerful.
Marriage Saved and Complete Household Salvation – The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy, but He came that we might have life and life in abundance. A couple in Kampala came for counselling following marital difficulties, the Lord showed Bigheart wisdom through the Word of God and how the couple could apply these to their relationship. Both received salva-tion, their home was set free from demons, the husband hadn’t been sleeping properly for years, in Hebrews 13v4 the word tells us that marriage is honourable among all, and the bed undefiled...... the Spirit of the Lord revealed “something about the people before” when the couple were questioned, the marital bed the couple had been using was second hand. We anointed the bed and cleansed it in the name of Jesus spoke peace – the following morning the husband said “I slept like a baby” Amen. The Lords work didn’t stop there, sister n law, friend and entire family gave their lives to Jesus, He promises house-
hold salvation!!!!!
Muslim Leader to Confess Christ – Malaba, Ugandan border town, the Lord led Bigheart to pray for a Muslim man despite being told he wouldn’t allow it, the Spirit was so audible that Mandy moved in obedience and prayed healing for the sick man, the translator later told us that the man was a Muslim leader in the town who had been giving the Christian churches a very difficult time. The man who is called Salim said “When your Jesus heals me I am renouncing my Muslim faith and immedi-
ately converting to Christianity” We believe by faith he is now in the Kingdom.......
All that is hidden – when praying for a Kenyan lady for healing the Spirit revealed “there is something in the house that needs put out” when this was conveyed to the lady she couldn’t think of anything, so we prayed again, “all that is hidden will be revealed” shortly afterwards a small carved object was sighted and when we checked it out knew in our spirits that this was the object that needed put out, we burned the object, the lady was set free from her pain and her home filled with the
peace and glory of God.
Many more testimonies and manifestations of Gods hand amongst His people can be read in the full mission report via our
website.......
Mission Trip May –July
2010—Greaterlove Gospel
Church – Burcoro
As a church we would like
to thank “Bigheart” through
Mandy that this church was
born by their vision together
with Greaterlove Ministry
International. Achieve-
ments – Northern Uganda
being a war zone for over 25
years the people lived in
fear and trauma so the pro-
ject of Agriculture brought
hope to the people because
Northern Uganda is an agri-
cultural land and the people
have their own land to culti-
vate. Being given food by
World Food Programme for
over 20 years the people
developed “DEPENDANCY
MIND” but now we are
moving from dependency to
“SELF RELIANCE” by work-
ing heard to send away
hunger then later poverty
that is our mission – to-
gether with Bigheart to the
people. Other agricultural
investment that we are do-
ing is “Bee Hive” or bee
keeping. We are using local
means within our reach but
there is modern types at
80,000ugs eighty thousand
shillings each. The church
through the bulls Bigheart
bought has been open in an
area where there is no
church not even Catholic
because the catholic even
are also praying under
trees. There is no protes-
tant church not even Penta-
costal church so we reached
unto the people and a
church is open, and souls
are being saved.

Thursday 6 June what
seemed an unusual day
turned out to be an amaz-
ing day in God. Nothing
was going right. Bigheart
had arrived at Lwanda Vil-
lage to meet with the ladies’
knitting group. The usual
pattern of prayer and wor-
ship and spiritual imparta-
tion was overlooked until
4pm that day. What hap-
pened next was a result of
obeying the leading of the
a double blessing. We
closed in prayer and Big-
heart was leaving the village
for home. Shortly after-
wards, we heard a shout.
“It’s a miracle”. Lucia
from the village had re-
ceived her double blessing.
Her son had just rang her
from Kampala, now saved
and baptized. Lucia’s heart
had been healed and her joy
was full—all to the glory of
God.

We want to thank God for
the ministry of Bigheart.
We want to appreciate the
work that Mandy did for us
in Uganda standing with us
in preaching the gospel. It
has been quite a number of
times that we have been
working together and we
are seeing positive results,
like us ourselves as a
church we have grown very
fast from the last time sis-
ter Mandy was with us we
have seen a tremendous
growth using the tools that
Bigheart has sown into our
ministry namely the public
address system it has
helped us greatly in the
work of the Lord bringing
souls to Christ it has
helped us to bring positive
impact to the community
where evangelism and soul
winning is concerned. We
also want to thank Bigheart
Ministry as a church for
this particular time we have
worked with Sister Mandy

worshiping and once more
we want to thank BHM for
standing with us to put a
roof on top of the structure

thank Bigheart especially
the members of Bigheart at

of the pastor Alex of CRC I
would like to thank God for
blessing us with sister
Mandy African name Na-
chomitcha, she is a very
dear sister unto us espe-
cially us mothers of this
church. She has taught us
to make bread, some of us
since we were born have
never tasted such a bread.
But we thank God for the
burden to our sister. I
know through this ministry
of making bread we are go-
ing to evangelise to mothers
and ladies in other
churches. I know through
this God is going to have a
burden in the lives of men
and women to know Christ.
I am personally so grateful
since I was born I have
never seen an oven like that
behind me. Through this
many will come and see and
we will be sharing the word
of God through it. My re-
quest is that you pray with
us as we make bread and
share with ladies inside and
outside of the church. We
pray that many will come as
a team to Africa.
