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.

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-

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.

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.

ceived baptism of the Holy

Spirit and praying in

tongues. However, the last

lady Bigheart ministered to

was heavily burdened in her

heart following the death of

her husband and conflict

with her son. When praying

that God would heal her

heart, replace her joy, and

restore her relationship

with her son, the Spirit

spoke that she would have

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

we were trying to put up

some extension as we are

growing and we could not

stay in the place we were

worshiping and once more

we want to thank BHM for

standing with us to put a

roof on top of the structure

we were working on, thank-

ing Mandy herself and all

those who are working with

her. We believe this part-

nership will go a long way

in preaching the gospel of

Jesus Christ and winning

souls. May God greatly

bless you. Thank You.

“IT’S A MIRACLE” !

Pastor Alex I would like to

thank Bigheart especially

the members of Bigheart at

home in Ireland for the good

work they are doing here

and sending sister Mandy

to come and teach the word

of God and not only the

word of God but also taught

us skills of survival and

making bread. Not only

taught us she has encour-

aged us to start up Bread

Basket business , behind us

is an oven standing and we

are going to set up a small

shop and continue with the

business and from there we

are going to be growing not

whole continent of Africa

with the word of God the

spiritual bread and the

physical bread Amen.

of the pastor Alex of CRC I

would like to thank God for

blessing us with sister

Mandy African name Na-

dear sister unto us espe-

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.
