If you are to enter into

God's kingdom, accept Jesus.

Don't expect tomorrow.

Tomorrow might be

too late for salvation.

...coming to Jesus Christ...

It is real life

in the word of God.

You're part of God.

Change those who are

committing sin.

That is it.

Thank you Jesus for the Gospel.

Thank you, Lord!

First of all I want to thank

the American people

for their unwavering

love for the world,

especially Africa.

For their giving over the years.

For their donations,

their sacrifices.

American money helped us

build this church.

Whatever you see here

is the fruit

of American labor.

So let's be blessed of the Lord

as we give, as we praise

because the almighty is

powerful.

Father, in the name of Jesus

we give You praise,

we glorify Your name,

thank You Lord, that You do

things

and You do

incredible stuff today

and now please lord do You

bless us.

By the power, by Your grace,

and by Your spirit,

in Jesus' holy name.

...in order to reap

the maximum harvest

out of Africa.

You're free, you're free,

you're free, you're free,

you're free!

I'm raising up a million

new messengers

for the harvest worldwide,

yeah, okay.

A million new messengers,

that's more than we prayed for.

Secondly, a billion new souls.

And a trillion dollars

to finance it.

That would be the budget.

So I pray for the release

of one million new soldiers

in the kingdom.

Yeah, praise God.

I mean, they're going to be

going into the thick of it

to Uganda,

they're all leaving

this weekend.

Lord, I ask You

to reignite them,

to give them

a fresh commissioning

of Your Spirit.

Those that are going, bless you

in the name of Jesus.

Good to see you, man,

good to see you.

Let me help you out here.

This isn't all my stuff.

Sure, man.

Hey, how are you?

Nice to meet you.

It's a hole in the ground.

It's just cement floor, a hole.

And that's it.

And sometimes

there's toilet paper.

So you can always

carry your own.

Oh, my gosh.

Cameras.

This is the school kitchen.

And so this is sorghum flour

mixed with cassava flour.

This is supper,

I hope you're ready.

I was 11 years old

and I saw Rachelle

and I fell in love.

Now, I was,

one night I was praying

and I said, "God, if You

make me give up everything,

just give me that girl."

Eleven years old.

And we got married

when we were 18.

He gave her to me.

And then we had to

leave everything

and move to Africa.

We came here to develop

a house of prayer

and train missionaries.

And the world's

that often consider love

to be sexual desires

outside of God's love.

There is sexual immortality,

there is all of those things

that is not God's way for love.

There is a battle,

even a daily battle,

between my flesh and my spirit.

This is our prayer room.

We're just moving in here.

Today is the first time

we're gonna actually

come together and pray here.

Yeah.

Hello?

When I was a teenager

I went to Bible school

with the International

House of Prayer.

So we're kind of partnering

with IHOP in Africa

by training

and helping to mobilize.

We're looking for

creative ways on this end

but the majority of our funds

are coming from the west.

And the majority of our funds

are coming from donors

and sponsors and lovers

of the ministry,

then they help us

and we move forward.

Yeah.

Okay, mine's not coming off.

God has what I like

to call an army

of young people.

Only because I like that word,

it's an intense word.

But they're not a military army,

I wanna make that distinct,

they don't have guns,

they have Bibles.

Hey, Dean, I need your help.

Come on, I need your help.

No!

It's for Jesus,

you can't say no.

There's a very strategic

position that Uganda is in.

Fifty percent of the population

is under 15 years old.

This is a youth nation.

What Jesse and I could do

is so limited.

But we can multiply ourselves

in these young people

and they can reach multitudes,

they can reach nations.

Baby Jesus, baby Jesus

I love you, I love you

You are my Savior

Everyday

A lot of people have

embraced Christ in this nation

and the gospel

has really transformed

a lot of people's lives.

Many years ago

the United Nations

and World Health Organization

declared Uganda

would be wiped out

because of AIDS.

We lost villages.

God helped us,

he gave us friends

who could stand with us

and who could uh,

reach in their pockets.

We're here today to urge

both houses

of the United States Congress

to pass

the emergency plan

for AIDS relief

which will dramatically

expand our fight against AIDS

across this globe.

Earlier this week we heard

the president describe

a compassionate vision

that would put a priority

on the values

of the American people.

Abstinence

and marital faithfulness

before condom distribution

are the cure for what ails

the families of Africa.

It is important that we

not just send them money,

but we must send them

values that work.

...use a condom.

I use them all the time.

You do?

I do.

You must learn how to say no.

I do not want

to have sex.

And if they are not responding,

this is what you must do.

Some of the American

foreign aid agency workers,

for them, some of them think

that abstinence

is President George Bush's

big joke from Texas.

But the message is,

I believe you can abstain.

Promoting abstinence

before marriage

and fidelity in marriage

is the major way

of fighting HIV/AIDS.

The principles of Christianity

and the values,

they teach us which lifestyles

are actually the best

and which ones will

keep us healthy

and alive and happy.

When people actually

bring their lives

into obedience to what

He says in His word

suddenly you realize that

these types

of infectious diseases,

they don't have anywhere to go.

We have to look no further

than Uganda

for proof of the effectiveness

of abstinence

in the fight against

HIV and AIDS.

Hello, how are you?

Fine.

Good, good, good.

This is your repeat test for HIV

that you are going to include.

Yes.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.

We're gonna be doing

ministry together

for the next couple months.

Anyways,

there's one more person,

she's gonna introduce herself,

she's a missionary of Uganda.

Stand up.

I've been coming to Uganda

since 2002.

I spend three months

at IHOP in 2009

doing an internship,

but I've known about

the ministry since it started,

I visited when it first

moved into the trailer

through friends and so

I believe in that ministry.

I believe in the House of Prayer

and my vision to see

the House of Prayer

in Kampala area.

And um, I'm here.

When I was in the States

this lady in my church

asked me if I would be

interested in marrying

a black man.

And I said, I mean,

"I have no problem with it,

it's not a matter of color,

it's a matter of the heart.

But I don't know that that's,

there's no desire for me

for that,

I'm not in,

looking for a husband."

And she said,

"Well, let me go back

and pray for a while"
