that the church of Uganda

did not want to be

in this nation.

But I believe Uganda

has suddenly become

ground zero.

Not because they asked for it.

But God brought you to

make a statement,

instead, for righteousness.

From the US we pray.

We pray wisdom to

the government of Uganda.

Pray courage to stand.

When it comes to the individual,

those struggling in issues

of the sin in their life,

whether it's homosexuality

or whether it's adultery

or pornography,

all of these things

the Bible speaks against.

I grew up in a Christian home

addicted, massively,

to pornography,

I knew it was wrong.

And I had an encounter

with Jesus at age 22

that changed my life.

It's not like I didn't

struggle with those things

time, through the years.

But I, God changed

my desires and my life.

And so I'm not ashamed to say

I'm praying

for 100,000 gay and lesbian

men and women

to have encounters with Jesus,

the love of God,

the transforming power of Jesus.

I'm not ashamed to say that

because I believe the Gospel.

Come up and go up

to the mountain

He will teach us His ways

The church is supposed to be

responsible

for taking in homosexuals

or anyone

that would wanna come into

a relationship with God.

And I wanna share,

God really protected me

when I was young, in my 20s and,

and I was involved in acting.

You know, that whole scene

is full of homosexuals

and um, I had some male friends

and we would go

to the homosexual bars

and dancing and da-da-da.

But God, there was

a point in time

where God really, I,

I really started

to be attracted to other women.

I am one from,

been healed from

sexual brokenness

and it took a long time.

It took a long time.

The anti-homosexuality law,

there isn't

a national dialogue around it

and it's much more of

a western media portrayal

of what's going on

in parliament.

And, honestly...

And maybe Christian leaders'

influence on it

which seemed random, you know.

What do you think?

We don't know all the details

of the bill even.

We've never read it.

What we've heard is what

the western media

has said about it.

Do I believe that

that's a lifestyle,

a Godly lifestyle?

No, I think it's

against God's law.

This is heavy.

It's gonna be my first time,

like,

open air preaching the Gospel.

It's gonna blow off the smoke.

I bless you, bless you

king God of the universe.

Father in the name of Jesus...

Chicken on a stick.

Chicken on a stick!

Sir.

This is lunch, you guys,

so if you wanted something.

It's fast food.

Dark meat?

Dark meat.

So what is it, what do you

believe about Jesus?

I don't understand about that.

You don't understand it?

Yeah, she does.

So you need to find out.

Uhhuh.

Me, I'm a Muslim,

I don't need to find out.

Oh, you're a Muslim, oh, okay.

Mohammad came after Jesus,

Mohammad came later, much later.

Mohammad came 500 years

after Jesus.

But then he said Isa

is a prophet of Islam.

In the Bible it says

if you believe in Jesus

you can have eternal life.

If you accept Jesus

into your life,

you can be saved.

So, have you, have you

read the Bible at all?

The Bible?

Can you give me a Bible?

Have you read one?

Do you read the Koran?

Yeah.

And the problem is

you don't read the Gospel,

you don't read it.

But if you read it

you would know Jesus says

in John 14:
6, he says

"I am the way,

the truth, and the life.

No one comes to the Father

but through Me."

Bro.

You must call upon

the name of the Lord

and the Lord is Jesus.

Did he baptize you

in the Holy Spirit?

He anointed me.

Do you speak in tongues?

What?

Do you speak in other tongues?

Yeah?

No, I don't, I don't.

The rain is coming.

Oy vey.

What grabs you

is a bright yellow banner.

"Hang Them" it reads.

The headline a call to action.

A hit list of what

this tabloid calls

"100 of Uganda's

Top Homosexuals".

Inside portraits

and home addresses

of prominent Ugandans.

I'm going to pray.

Let's pray.

Holy.

The son of God.

The King of Heaven.

Who protect us from the journey.

The flame from the airplane.

In the name of Jesus, amen.

Amen.

I just wanna thank God

for Starbucks

because it's helping us

in Africa

to preach the Gospel.

One Via packet at a time.

Thank you, Jesus.

Lord we love You

Lord we choose

Lord we need You

We have come to

share with you the good news.

We came all this way

across the ocean

to tell you of His love.

That God loves you so much.

We all need a savior.

Because if we're not living

the way we should live

the Bible says that we

deserve to die for that.

The reward of sin

is death, the Bible says.

But Jesus Christ can make you

the kind of person

you should be.

So if you die today

and have not repented

then you will not

be with Him in paradise.

Does this scare you?

So are you believers in

Jesus Christ then?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's good, very good.

Very good.

For God so loved the world

that He gave His only Son

that whoever believes in Him

shall never perish,

but have eternal life.

Father, I ask you for this woman

as she takes time to think,

God, I ask that you would

give her dreams

and visions of Jesus.

We thank you this day

for all of heaven is rejoicing

because another sinner

has come home.

Today I make Jesus

my Lord and Savior.

I forsake all other gods.

And I cling to You...

...the one true God

in Jesus Christ.

Fellow Ugandans!

We are here to proclaim

Jesus Christ to you!

Are you ready for Jesus?

Yes, I am ready.

Hallelujah.

When you see

the abominable things

being done in the cities

the Gospel proclaim

woman burning with lust

for another woman.

Repent!

For the forgiveness

of your sins!

Our Father

who art in heaven.

Hallowed be Your Name.

Your Kingdom come.

Your will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from suffering!

In the name of Jesus.

I wrote a letter to

Barack Obama last week.

I said, "Barack Obama.

We do not fight sodomites

because of who they are,

but what they do.

The impertinent acts

which they do.

However, in America

Barack Obama's administration

supports a campaign

of killing babies

that are aborted every day

in America and in

the rest of the world,

babies who have never

done anything,

but just because they're babies

they're killed,

they're destroyed,

they're pulled out

from their mother's womb

and they're choked off,

and yet you have the hypocrisy

to come to Africa

and tell us not to stop

the fight

to protect our children

from sodomy!

It is hypocrisy and ignorance

of the highest order!

They make the argument

homosexuals have...

...is what people do in

the privacy of their bedroom

is nobody's business.

But do you know what

they're doing

in the bedroom?

I did research and I gathered

their information.

Now, they start off by

touching each other's genitals
