Pastor Balaba David of Iganga Pentecostal Church
Below is the transcribed text of a hand written letter written by Pastor Balaba.

"I thank God for this event is one of its kind Iganga has ever experienced. The miracles we saw during this time are more than can be expressed in words. Apart from the salvations of the souls of children, youths, men and women, Iganga received a practical breakthrough both in the spiritual realm and the social realm.

People have always thought that the Christians only knew how to pray and preach. But this time round they saw the body of Christ reaching out to schools, prisons, youth and also sharing a meal together with all the people.

The result of all this has been tremendous. For right now we have an open door to all civic and political offices in town. The police, the prison authorities, school administrators and civic leaders all hold pastors of Iganga in high esteem. This has not been possible in the past years.

Even so, for the testimonies being spoken of, we are seeing more souls coming to the churches even now. I have a feeling that there will be many more people coming to Christ even after many months. The Spirit is still moving though the Festival is over.

I thank God for everybody who contributed to make this event possible. May God reward people for every coin, penny and prayer that was contributed to (make) this event possible.

The glory be given to God."

Below are verbal comments made by pastor Balaba to Carl Dawson during a meeting on April 13, 2006 at a pastors meeting in Iganga, Uganda.

"I am impressed by the salvations, but even more impressed by how God is delivering people from witchcraft and Islam. The Lord is giving the church more power and authority so we shall look for more souls to be saved. In fact people are still coming in from the villages and asking if they can be saved.

We are inspired to continue to find new ways to reach people with the Gospel message. We are now thinking of starting a football, (soccer) league. We will give a Gospel message before each match and at the half and give people the opportunity to become born again!

The people around thought we only existed to worship and pray, but through this festival they saw that we are people who care about them."
