Our brother Eric Mutale has been actively involved in sharing the true gospel on behalf of our ministry for several years primarily in the country of Tanzania. Currently, brother Eric is sharing the gospel in cities in Tanzania in and around Dar es Salaam as well as major cities in Uganda and Kenya, countries that have been subjected to political instability. We want to keep brother Eric in prayer that God would strengthen him both physically and spiritually for the work. And we want to be praying that our Tract (English version) (Kiswahili version) will be used of the LORD in the lives of those who receive the tract.
In addition to our tract, we have recently updated and condensed the book, The End Of The Church Age And After…(English version) (Kiswahili version) in regards to the timeline of the end and correcting a few doctrinal statements since the book was first published in 2002 by our faithful and beloved late Bible teacher, Mr. Camping. Brother Eric has translated this into the Kiswahili language, which is the official language of Tanzania. Eric has been distributing this condensed booklet in limited quantities.
Please be in prayer for these and other efforts send forth the true gospel. And please send your free will donations by visiting our Donate Page. It requires money to print and distribute materials. With one mind and one heart we work to share the true gospel anywhere the opportunity presents itself, which is altogether in accordance with God’s will. This requires the prayers and financial contributions of all those who love the LORD and desire to do HIS will. Please note we never sell these materials, as clearly noted on the cover of each booklet. We operate according to Matthew 10:8, …freely ye have received, freely give.
2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
We also want to take this opportunity to introduce the ministry of ZionInTravail.com with a focus on international expansion of the true gospel. It is funded by those who put up their own funds in recognition of the need. All free will financial contributions may be sent via our Donate Page. Please direct any questions to info@ZionInTravail.com.

Phase 2 Introduction
Hello Brother Brad,
As we continue to blow the trumpet, it is in my heart to go back to Uganda once more but this time visit 10 cities from all four regions of Uganda. I chose these cities because of their population and the fact that they are strategically located to feed other smaller towns and villages in each region. From my last visit to Uganda, only Kampala is repeated, the rest are new cities.
The cities are as follow:
1. Kampala, Central Region (Pop.1.7M)…10,000 English Tracts and 250 TEOCAAA Booklets
2. Nansana, Central Region (Pop.365,157) …10,000 English Tracts and 150 TEOCAAA Booklets
3. Kira, Central Region (Pop.317,157) …10,000 English Tracts and 150 TEOCAAA Booklets
4. Mukono, Central Region (Pop.162,710) …10,000 English Tracts and 150 TEOCAAA Booklets
5. Ssabagabo, Central Region (Pop.283,272) …10,000 English Tracts and 150 TEOCAAA Booklets
6. Mbarara, Western Region (Pop.200,000) …10,000 English Tracts and 150 TEOCAAA Booklets
7. Kabarole, Western Region (Pop.60,800) …10,000 English Tracts and 150 TEOCAAA Booklets
8. Gulu, Northern Region (Pop.150,306) …10,000 English Tracts and 150 TEOCAAA Booklets
9. Lira, Northern Region (Pop.99,059) …10,000 English Tracts and 150 TEOCAAA Booklets
10. Mbale, Eastern Region (Pop.96,189) …10,000 English Tracts and 150 TEOCAAA Booklets
I expect to start the trip in mid June, 2024 [editor’s note: start delayed one month] and may God open this door for the gospel to be shared in Uganda once again. In this trip I expect to be joined by Gilbert Kaweesa, a gentleman I met in Masaka in my last trip. He fully understands TEOCAAA [The End Of the Church Age And After – condensed].
Thank you very much,
Brother Eric Mutale

Hello brother Brad,
The printing of the gospel materials is completed and I, pleasing to our Lord, will leave Dar es Salaam on 20th July for Uganda to share the gospel to the people of the 10 cities as planned.
I have booked my bus ticket and tomorrow I will be taking the tracts and booklets to the transporter ready for Saturday trip.
I will be using North West boarder point of Mutukula because I can not go through Kenya due to anti-government demonstrations going on there which have so far claimed the lives of about 80 Kenyans.
I am requesting for your prayers for God’s traveling mercies and that many will receive the materials and be blessed with Salvation.
Thank you,

Hello brother Brad,
Today is my birthday and as I write am going to bed ready for departure for Uganda early tomorrow morning to start the Uganda distribution trip for sharing the gospel materials.
I collected all the printed copies today and took to the bus and loaded ready for tomorrow.
Every thing is set.
Thank you,
Brother Mutale
20 July 2024
I am in a bus now traveling to Uganda…the bus left very late. Lord willing we will be crossing the border tomorrow in the afternoon. Then take about 6 hours to reach Masaka where I will sleep then proceed on to Mbarara on Monday.
23 July 2024
Hello brother Brad,
This is my first report of tracts and TEOCAAA booklets distribution efforts in Uganda and it is from Mbarara City, Western Province.
Once again I thank the Lord for making it possible to bring the gospel to Mbarara. The reception was very high, as it has been in many cities I have visited in this region.
I arrived in Masaka Uganda on 21July and spend two nights there because on 22nd July it rained heavily and so I could not travel to Mbarara, instead I left Masaka for Mbarara on 23 July and arrived around mid day. Spent about two hours to find a hotel and then started sharing the true gospel to the people of this city.
I started at the Mbarara Central Market and the streets on the two sides of the Market
As I was sharing the gospel I remembered Isaiah 55:1
“Ho,every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,and he that hath money; come ye; buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without price.”
Sharing the gospel is calling people unto salvation and there is so much-do it yourself salvation preaching in our day.
I shared the gospel up to around 9:45 pm then returned to my hotel room.
I shared the gospel in and around the market, visited motorcycle parking around and was also able to reach a few students along the streets who were coming from their schools.
On another note, Gilbert Kaweesa from Masaka who was unable to join in called asking to join me saying his leg is much better now after the accident and that he can now accompany me for a few days depending on his work schedule. He will arrive in Mbarara tomorrow morning.
I am sending a few photos taken at the market and the streets. When I took the photo there were few people but later on the entire area was filled with people especially because people come to sell their merchandise in the evening and many more others to buy.
Thank you all for your prayers and please continue praying for us and that our Lord may save many according to His perfect will.

Hello brother Brad,
This is my second report for tracts and TEOCAAA booklets distribution in the City of Mbarara, Uganda.
I am thankful to our Lord for enabling us to share the true gospel to the people of Mbarara and this covers day two and three.
Yesterday and today were full days and I and Gilbert Kaweesa plus two other individuals shared the gospel in the streets of Mbarara. Yesterday we started at the Mbarara Bus Terminal. There are two gates at the terminal and we took positions of each gate and were able to share the gospel materials to thousands of people arriving and those leaving Mbarara. This terminal serves buses going all over Western Uganda villages and small towns.
We shared tracts to motor vehicle riders, in the buses, shops around the terminal and those selling food stuff and small small merchandise.
This time many people asked questions mainly why should we stop attending the local congregation. As it is, many could not comprehend that we are commanded to leave the churches and so I explained to them a few things and encouraged them to write to the indicated email addresses for further teachings and any questions or understanding they may have.
Today, we divided ourselves into two groups. The first group went to visit one big hospital and the surrounding areas and the other went to Mbarara Taxi rank which serves people coming from and going to the outskirts of the city.
After finishing all tracts and TEOCAAA booklets we left for the second City of the trip which is called Fort Portal or locally known as Kabarole. Arriving late in the evening we just took hotel rooms but Lord willing, we will start the work tomorrow.
We took a few photos of the areas we visited.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and, as we share the gospel may the Lord Jesus bless these efforts into the hearts of many people unto salvation.
Thank you for now.

Hello brother Brad
Blessed Lord Day
I am writing this report from Kampala where I arrived last night from Kabarole otherwise also known as Fort Portal.
This report is for Fort Portal.
After finishing with Mbarara I and one young man Name Muzamiru traveled to Fort Portal (Kabarole) on 25th of July.
Gilbert Kaweesa had to return back to Masaka because his foot started to swell again and so we discussed about it and agreed for him to go back home.
In Fort Portal we started same evening but we did not do much. On 26 July, me and Muzamiru started around 10 am. At first it was so disappointing in terms of reception rate. We took the first street leading to the main Taxi stand and distributed on both sides of the street,in the shops and motorcycles riders as well as petty traders.Ugandans love to speak their local languages and so one of the challenges I faced was understanding them when they ask about what are we sharing.
By the time we reach close to the taxi stand I lost sight of Muzamiru and so alone went to the stand and that’s when reception rate picked up so much that I finished about one thousand tracts in about an hour. Then one motorcycle rider came to me and advised that I go to the local market and so he took me back to the hotel for additional tracts and TEOCAAA booklets and then brought me to the market. Here I shared tracts and also answered a few questions from three young men and a lady concerning the time we are living in and the nature of Salvation. Some asked for tracts to share with others starting at the taxi stand especially taxi conductors which was very good because it meant tracts reached remote areas and villages where the taxis ply.
By the afternoon, Muzamiru also had to go back to Mbarara. He lives with his mother only and that his mother is a Moslem (we pray for her).
Then around 5pm I went to Fort Portal SS (Secondary School) where one can distribute thousand of tracts to students alone. At this school I shared the last tracts and booklets I had for the day. As for booklets I distributed by asking them to form a group of 5 for one book since they attend the same school. Three school girls asked for tracts to share with boarder. I gave each 100 tracts and after a few minutes one returned and asked for more. The day ended at this school and I went back to my hotel. Yesterday I shared all that was remaining and by midday I left Fort Portal for Kampala.
Kabarole is not a big city and I was actually worried if ever I will finish the tracts but it turned out to be a city where reception was just incredible. By the way,where there is a congestion of people reception can be very low but where a few people pass almost every one picks a tract because I think people have time to consider unlike those who are rushing.
I am sharing a few photos taken at the Taxi stand, Market including young people who asked questions and one selfie at the SS. There was no time to take proper photos there due to overwhelming number of students passing and also that I always try not to annoy the authorities. Where I stood was not exactly at the school gate but on the street and so I was able to reach many other people who were going up and down the street.
O may the Lord have mercy unto as many as will read the materials in Fort Portal and surrounding areas.
Praise God for His work.

I am now stepping out to start Kampala City distribution.

Uganda mission 30-July-2024 Report
[Editor’s notes: the reception described by Eric in this report is nothing short of amazing; also note that many of those taking the tracts and TEOTCAAA booklets are moslem, which reminds us of Isaiah 60:6-7 where God declares that the descendants of Keturah and of Ishmael shall be gathered together and come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory; also note the crowds of young students being presented with the true gospel. May we continue to keep this mission activity in prayer and ask for physical and spiritual strength for our brother and fellow missionary.]
Hello brother Brad
This is my first report for Kampala City.
I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for enabling me to be in the streets of Kampala for the second time this year so that I can share the gospel to the people.
I started sharing the gospel at an area known as Namirembe Bakuli where I stood at a street corner where I was able to reach people coming from three different directions and, again,reception was just amazing.
One notable thing is that this area, like two others I shared the gospel earlier this year, is predominantly a moslem area, who in my observation, are the ones who accepted tracts without any resistance or anger. Very very few will refuse and some will take a tract and, realising it’s about the Bible, they will come back to return it to me saying “but I am a moslem” I will then have a short discussion with some of them and I encouraged many to take. I worked here until around 9.30pm before returning to my hotel room.
Yesterday, 29 July I went to another community outside the city called Bugolobi. This was my first place I shared the gospel back in 2007 (17 years now) and was able to share tracts here until about 8pm.
Two notable things about Bugolobi today:
- While sharing the gospel, at around 5pm a group of students coming from nearby schools literally overwhelmed me and took hundreds of tracts and about 70 TEOCAAA booklets by themselves. Some students will take a bunch of tracts and start sharing to others, many others crossed from the other side of the road causing traffic to literally come to a halt to allow hundreds of these students to reach me, in fact this was facilitated by the traffic Police who were working in that area. I was not able to take photos because I was alone and in all this not a single tract or booklet was discarded.
- Bugolobi area is temporary home for Sudanese refugees who have fled their country due to civil war and so, again I was able to reach many moslem people from a different country through those students as well as other people who went into that community.
In my experience, 10,000 tracts can be shared in Kampala in just a day if you have two people working on two sides of any street not only here but throughout other cities I have visited so far in Uganda.
It is just amazing and may the Lord Jesus bless many as I continue to share the gospel in this beautiful country. It is so peaceful and the authority have no problems, I have never been asked once unlike some cities in Kenya.
I will be finalizing Kampala today and move on to other cities as planned. Apparently, I will be operating from Kampala to cover all cities I planned to visit in the Central Region. It will help to reduce movement of tracts boxes which is a bit challenging because of weight and volume. Most of these cities are just a few kilometers from Kampala City.
Thank you all very much for your continued prayers. Lord willing, my next report will be for Kira city.

Hello brother Brad
I am in Kira and there is a blessing of rain, together with Kampala for two days now. I go to the streets but rain interruption is constant.
The work continues.
Brother Eric Mutale
Kira-Uganda
2 August 2024
Hello brother Brad
This report is for Kira town in Central Region.
Kira town is a few kilometers north of Kampala, visited by many people from the villages and smaller towns who brings agricultural produce almost on a daily basis to sell.
I had a couple of individuals who came to help including Morris and Rogers. We walked into roadside markets, taxi terminals and shopping centers.
We however had rain interrupting our work several times for all the four days and as a result we did not finish all the tracts, still have about 2000 tracts but all TEOCAAA booklets for Kira were finished.
Upon my return to Kampala yesterday I went to the streets to finish the 2000 tracts but again heavy rains came and it lasted for hours.
Pleasing to the Lord, I am starting a new city today. I will be going to Nansana to continue with the work. This too is not far from Kampala and it will be the fourth city to visit in Central Region.
We were also approached by the authorities but their concern was anti-corruption demonstrations which has been going on for weeks now in Kampala and nearby cities. There was a time I was stopped and ended up sharing tracts to many soldiers in a military truck.
I have just a few photos to share
May the Lord continue bless many people in Kira with Salvation
Thank you
Brother Eric Mutale
Kampala-Uganda
[Editor’s note: Lots of rain reminds us of
Ezekiel 34:26-27
“And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.“
This is a wonderful promise of salvation.]
5 August 2024
[Editor’s note: following is yet another detailed report sent by Eric Mutale from Uganda with news that should cause us all to lift up our hearts to God with thanksgiving for the wonderful things that God is doing using his servants to accomplish His work. May we continue to keep our brother in prayer.]
Hello brother Brad
I am writing from Gulu, Northern Uganda bordering South Sudan.
I arrived here yesterday from Kampala after finishing with Nansana City.
Once again, I thank the Lord for His mercies and the amazing reception in Nansana.
This report therefore is for Nansana City. You will notice that I have skipped two cities from Central Region namely Ssebagabo and Mukono which I will go once I am done with Gulu, Lira and Mbale Cities before heading back home to Tanzania.
I arrived in Nansana thinking about Kira where reception was not that great but Nansana was different even though at first I thought it will go like Kira.
It started very slowly, like it will take about 3 minutes before a tract is picked. At some point I considered leaving for different locations but a popcorn seller encouraged me by supporting my work then what followed was just amazing. One other individual also joined to support the work and tracts were shared very very fast. Where I personally stood was a taxi stop and a supermarket. People from the taxis and those leaving the supermarket in their cars would ask from far for me to bring the tracts and booklets which I never shared except someone asked for it. It was such a busy experience that even taxi operators asked to help and I will ask them how many tracts and they will say “like 100, I will share with my passengers”.
There were a couple of schools around too, as usual,students in their hundreds always picked a tract or two.
An individual approached me after collecting a tract and TEOCAAA booklet and he started to ask about the contents and if I am aware of the Jewish Feasts, he also asked about times and seasons and the mechanism of separation of wheat from tares. He was there with me for almost an hour and all I told him is to spend time reading the materials prayerfully and should there be any questions he then should make use of the email addresses provided therein.
For both days I will finish sharing the gospel well after 10pm in the night and go back to Kampala.
Praise God for Nansana City.
I am stepping out now to continue the work here in Gulu City. It took more than 24 hours to reach here because no one is allowed to cross the world famous Murchison National Park after 7pm and so all of us slept in the bus.
Thank you again and again for your prayers and may the Lord continue to add believers into His eternal Church from these areas I visit.
From Gulu City
Brother Eric Mutale
Our Bus to Gulu stopped to refuel and I met this truck full of football players. I approached them and asked to share tracts,one of them told me to give the entire bundle of 100 tracts and then I witnessed like everyone was asking to get a tract…who knows
6 August 2024
Hello brother Brad
This report is for Gulu City-Day One.
What an incredible half day. I just returned to my hotel room because I could not continue due to heavy rains.
I started along the same street my hotel is located. Then two young men approached me to know what is all about and after a brief discussion they joined the work. We went to a small market, shared hundreds of tracts before I met four men who were having lunch at a local restaurant, as we were sharing from house to house.They wanted to know what the tracts were all about, we had like 40 minutes and as they were heading back to work for lunch they promised to write for more information regarding end times.
After that the two young men helping me also left.I then headed to the twin bus terminals and shared hundred of tracts. One man came and advised me to go to the Gulu Market where reception was also excellent. Here a man and a woman came for the booklets and as the man saw the title he started to shout saying “This is what I have been looking for, I have waited for this for a long time and you man, you came to Gulu just for me” after cooling down he told me that he has been doing some research for a long time regard end time events and now he got the booklet he will read carefully and get back through emails for more or if he will have questions. After his shouting it’s like he made many people now come for the tracts, everyone and that talking…almost overwhelming me…o what a day in Gulu.
As I was sharing rain started, heavy rain and so I left for a nearby restaurant where I also shared with a few people inside before I decided to come back to my hotel room, it is still raining though not like when it started which gave me space to return.
Pleasing to the Lord, I will be back to the streets, including the market, tomorrow.
From Gulu City, Day One.

Hello brother Brad
This is my final report for Gulu City. I am now in Lira City.
I concluded Gulu distribution at the Gulu Main Market where I started on my day two.
Gulu City is home for many South Sudanese, refugees from DR Congo, (I actually spoke with them in kiswahili) Central African Republic (CAR), Burundi and Rwanda too so it means I was able to reach some of these dear people right there in Juba.
Also, this area is just recovering from decades of civil war and so it is the right time to hear the good news.
A few photos of the area are attached.
All honor and glory is to our Lord Jesus, I hope many people will heed the admonition and cry out to God for salvation, like the Ninevites, who knows…
Thank you always for being there in terms of prayers.

8 August 2024
[Brad]… Hi Eric, so, are you in areas where mostly Kiswahili is spoken ?
[Eric]…Hello brother Brad, no it is the local language with English. Only the military and Police speak kiswahili in Uganda. While everyone speak their local language yet all of them speak English because English is the medium of instruct in schools unlike Tanzania. English is therefore used for all government communications. North and Eastern Uganda has Internet challenge that’s why I am not online most times and also communication delays. Kiswahili is spoken in Eastern DR Congo that’s why refugees I met in Gulu and now Lira speak kiswahili.
Hello brother Brad
This report is for Lira City.
Lira is the second City I planned to visit in Northern Uganda.
After arriving here I took a hotel room and went to work immediately and my first day here ended after 10pm and was confined at one location close to the Lira main market. Actually this spot is used by sellers after the market is closed. It is kind of a street market.
Unlike all other cities I have visited, there was a lot of resistance here and it was very hard to share tracts. I however, persisted until night and was able to share a few hundred tracts and TEOCAAA booklets.
The following day I started early in the morning and this time it was at the Lira main Bus Stage. The reception was similar to the previous day but a bit improved. I was approached by several bus operators who asked for tracts to share with their passengers. Here, I shared from shop to shop, groups of motorcycles taxi operators and those who sell second class clothes in and around the bus stage.
Later in the afternoon I moved to two different locations far from the bus stage where there was much improvement in terms of reception. I worked there until evening when I decided to leave for Mbale City, concluding Lira City distribution. Like Gulu, I saw and shared tracts to many South Sudanese and Congolese here.
I traveled in the night and arrived in Mbale City almost midnight. I am going to start sharing this precious gospel of our Lord and Savior,Jesus Christ, in about an hour or so here in Mbale
I am also attaching a few photos taken in Lira.
Thank you for Lira City and may our Lord bless many in this city and surrounding towns and villages with His Salvation.
For Lira City.

10 August 2024
Hello brother Brad
I am writing from Mbale, the eighth City out of the ten I planned to visit in Uganda.
Mbale day one was just amazing. Unlike Lira City, reception here was extremely high…you don’t even have time to think about going for lunch…overall, 8 out of ten people accepted tracts. It was so engaging and TEOCAAA booklets were shared when people asked after receiving a tract and read the heading.
I started sharing the gospel just a few meters from my hotel which is located in an area known as clock tower. Actually the entire day’s work concentrated here. I only shifted sides as each had people coming and going to a different direction of the city. This area is visited by people from all over the city, towns and villages. There is a bus terminal for people going all over Uganda and neighboring countries, shopping malls, a main market, street vendors,local restaurants, motor vehicle garages, hotels, a hospital and as the evening approached all the four sides around the clock tower was flooded with people on road side markets for food, second hand clothes sellers and buyers.
As it is, if you have four people, each taking one side (East, West, North and South) in like three hours each can share 2500 tracts. Hundreds of students pass here as they go/come from schools many being from Mbale High School.
A few tracts were discarded, many questions asked and many promised to write for more materials and questions.
At one time, a lady came back with a tract and in her hand and offered me UGX 1000 saying “because of the tract and the work you are doing” I declined to take the money, thanked her and directed her to the donation link indicated at the end of the tract.
While there were rejections and anger in some but many ordinary looking people provided encouragement as they humbly accepted the tracts.
I also noticed that in all the cities I visit you will find people from almost all the Continents…Europe, Asia, America and of course Afrika being the larger percentage.
Lord willing, I will be back in the streets of Mbale in a few hours from now but to a different location to continue the work of the Lord.
All honor and praise is to the Lord Jesus Christ and as thousands received the gospel yesterday, may there be many many who will be blessed with salvation in these last days.
From Mbale City.

12 August 2024
Hello brother Brad
This is my final report for Mbale.
I did finish with Mbale City by sharing the gospel at Mbale University of Health Science and at the Bus Stage. At the University I met hundreds of students along the nearby street. They were coming into the University Hospital. After about two hours rains started but I had shared hundreds of tracts. Almost no student refused to take a tract with a few asking more for their friends. I also noticed that the majority were Muslim students.
Then I went to the Main Bus Stage, shared more tracts where one bus conductor asked for additional tracts to take to the village where the bus was going. There is also a Taxi rank to the south where I also shared many tracts.
Then I took a taxi and returned to Kampala in the night concluding Mbale City distribution.
On the Lord’s Day yesterday I also shared hundreds of tracts along Hoima Road here in Kampala.
Pleasing to the Lord, I will be leaving this morning for Ssabagabo City.
Two more cities to go before I finish and go back to Tanzania.
Thank you for continued prayers for the work and the people of Uganda.

13 August 2024
Hello brother Brad
I continue to thank our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for all He is doing in guiding and protecting me as I share the gospel in Uganda.
I am doing my last but one City, Ssabagabo
Yesterday I went to Ssabagabo but realised that it actually is a wide administrative area which is also known as Makindye which south of Kampala close to Lake Victoria.
Arriving in the area around 11am but it was very difficult in picking a spot to share the gospel as people are scattered so much so that I would take an hour to share five tracts.
I then asked and was directed and moved to the main Kampala to Entebbe Highway which is adjacent to Makindye-Ssabagabo and has many people who work along the highway but live in Makindye-Ssabagabo, who by the time I arrived were already gone to work.
Upon arriving at the highway I picked a spot and started to share tracts. It was still so hard but as the day progressed I witnessed one of the highest reception level in Uganda. I can confidently say this was exceptional of all.
I was in that spot until midnight and that was possible because when darkness came I moved just a bit where there was sufficient light for people to see me clearly.
Among other nationalities, I met a few Congolese people who asked for Kiswahili copies, I gave them my WhatsApp number so that I could send the materials to them but I insisted to them that they should send emails through contacts provided in the materials.
Many many just normal looking people asked tracts and TEOCAAA booklets to share with other people where they live, most of them demanding I give them not less than 100 tracts. Scores of them returned to me several times for more. Of course this has been the case in every city but this spot was just exceptional.
Then around 9pm one gentleman came to me for some clarification on TEOCAAA and that which church do I attend. The discussion took almost 45 minutes, he tried to preach to me saying the message is wrong but with scripture references I showed him confirming the message of TEOCAAA is correct. Sadly his conclusion was that the churches leaders are the light of this world but I showed him from the Bible that Jesus Christ said “…, I am the light of the world: …” John 8:12a
After an hour, another one came and his understanding was that John 3:16 means everyone is loved by God, as is taught in the churches that our Lord paid for the sins of everyone and so it is up to us to accept him…a works gospel which is not from the Bible. I showed him from the Bible, Roman 9:13 that God loved Jacob but hated Esau, among other references that God elected certain ones to salvation and not others. He too ,could not show a single Bible reference to back his understanding He left very angry talking to those around about how I preach hatred insisting his same false doctrine is what God is teaching.
On the other hand it is always comforting to remember that the action is God’s action and that despite all these false teachings in the churches, God is using individuals and that a great multitude is being saved in this time even though we can not see them physically.
I pray that among the thousands who received the true gospel yesterday and all other days in these cities of Uganda plus whoever will read the materials there are those whom God will save.
I will be going to a different location today and continue to share the gospel before going to Mukono City to conclude this trip.
O praise God for He is good and His mercies are everlasting unto His people

Yesterday was another day in which I shared the gospel materials in Kampala not Ssabagabo.
The day started with rain and as I was thinking about Ssabagabo I could not resist but decided to pick a different location in Kampala City and shared the gospel (Actually I have not reached even 20% percent of Kampala in terms of locations in all my two trips I have made here combined..in my observation I think Kampala alone needs about +200,000 tracts and like a whole two weeks to share the gospel).
The area is around Mukwano Mall. At first I stood right in front of the Mall. Then as I went to buy drinking water I saw a location which turned out to be excellent in terms of reception rate where I can confidently say that through out my time there the rate was 40-50 tracts per minute. The good thing about this place is that people come like in a line. There is a wall fencing the shopping mall behind me and in front was a huge trench like a river and so people were confined between these two features. There was a few moments of discussions but mainly people came to ask about TEOCAAA booklets then I will ask them if they have seen the tract and that they are sure they want the booklet. At around 6pm I finished all the tracts I had and went back to my hotel room to add more and came back to work until around 10pm when I left the place after finishing all the gospel materials I had.
At this location alone two distributors can distribute 10,000 tracts in a single day.
Before I left I walked in the direction where people went and saw only about 25 discarded tracts.
Another thing I have noticed is that the best time to share the gospel materials is as from 1-2pm onwards. That’s when people are many and going home assuring at least the tracts reach their homes.
When darkness fell, the Lord had prepared a single powerful light which servers as security light of the Mall’s fence. Here is where I stood so that everyone coming knew what I was doing for them to decide taking the tract or not. This I believe is the reason why there are always very few discarded tracts wherever I share the gospel. I make sure most understand it’s the gospel.
It’s in my heart this morning to go South of Kampala leading on to Ssabagabo to share the few hundred tracts remaining then I will head to Mukono City which is a few kilometers from Kampala along Jinja Road.
As I was about to leave last night I extended my hand to give one gentleman a tract and he stopped and told me that he already had received one when I was sharing in Gulu City which is hundreds of kilometers from Kampala in North Uganda. This assures that the gospel is reaching far areas as people travel to various locations within and outside the places or cities I share.
Thank you all for always keeping me and the work of our Lord in your hearts.

Hello brother Brad
Yesterday was day one for Mukono City.
After finishing with Ssabagabo, Kampala South I went to Mukono which is just about 22kms from Kampala along Jinja Road which also is towards the Kenya border town of Malaba.
I started sharing the gospel at a junction there is a collection of shopping malls, markets and a number of schools. There are many roadside sellers of petty merchandise and literally hundreds of Motorcycle riders. By the way, Uganda has the highest number of Motorcycle riders than any other country in East Afrika and Motorcycles are widely used mean of transport here because it is quick and avoids long traffic jams.
Reception was high as usual with many people asking tracts to share with loved ones, especially students coming from nearby schools.
As it is with other cities, so many people expressed their shock at the fact that God has abandoned the local congregations. It is always sad that salvation is conditioned upon attending a church and therefore discussing it with them left many angry, a few showing interest to study the materials and revert through indicated emails. Of course many agree that there is something wrong with the churches.
Again, I shared the gospel until the night fell and returned to Kampala around 11pm in the night. I am setting out to go for day two shortly.
May our Lord continue to guide and lead me to locations where to share the gospel and bless many with His Salvation.
It is in my heart to target a few Secondary Schools which I was told each have more than 1000 students.
On the other hand I am really exhausted now…if it were not for the Lord to strengthen me and also bring many many volunteers it would be impossible to share these thousands of tracts. In every city I have met individuals who helped a lot in sharing the gospel mainly bus conductors, petty traders and students-may God be merciful unto them.
For Mukono day one.

Hello brother Brad
This is my last report for the tracts and TEOCAAA distribution efforts in Uganda. The last city being Mukono.
For the last three days I shared the gospel to Mukono as well as Kampala and all the three days started with a lot of rains or were interrupted by rain during sharing.
As I was sharing in Ssabagabo and Mukono cities, the Lord made me to pass through areas in Kampala where I saw thousands of people and therefore decided to go into these areas with the gospel. This was also partly because Ssabagabo and Mukono had relatively smaller population and that, with limited time to stay in Uganda I was convinced the Lord was directing me back to Kampala, which even with my current efforts still have many areas to visit. Also,during the week, parts of Kampala had landslide due to heavy rains with many people losing their lives and therefore it was an opportunity to share the gospel with the survivors.
The first spot to reach these people was the New Kampala Taxi Terminal because there is where one can meet people coming from all parts of the City.
The second spot was the Owino Market where hundreds of thousands of people visit on a daily basis. In addition to Ugandans, many other nationalities are found here including. Congolese, Rwandese, Burundians, South Sudanese, Sudanese, people from Central Afrika Republic, Ethiopians, Somalians and Indians.
Another area I visited is the Namirembe Road Taxi Terminal. In all these places thousands of tracts were shared.
Many came to have a chat with me and I remember one gentleman in particular who promised to send email but he also asked for my WhatsApp number and the following is what he sent to my WhatsApp number yesterday:

Praise God brethren.
Good afternoon. This is Jude {Last Name deleted for privacy} here, we met yesterday evening in Kampala before I set off for Bombo and we shared a little bit of God’s word.
It’s great finding you and a blessing to have met you. Be blessed in Jesus’ mighty name.
My email is {deleted for privacy} so it is easy for you to share with me the word.
As I write this report I am on my way back to Tanzania.
This has been the longest stay in Uganda and the biggest distribution efforts in a single country ever.
I was joined by Gilbert Kaweesa and Muzamiru in Mbarara but Gilbert left because he had a health challenge, Muzamiru also left by the time we reached Fort Portal for family reasons.
This has been a very exhausting effort in terms of traveling, organizing transportation of tracts. When I left Dar es Salaam I set aside tracts for Mbarara and Fort Portal in Western Uganda and asked the bus company to keep the reminder in Kampala. Also within the city transportation was challenging as I moved from one distribution spot to the other. Sometimes it rained (In all 10 cities) and I had to find places to keep tracts from getting wet.
What should I say with all these the Lord Jesus never failed me and everything was happening in such a way that I could not even imagine. From finding hotels, distribution spots (as I was a stranger in all 9 out 10 cities).
Amazingly, many people came to help the distribution as they asked copies to share elsewhere, in every bus or Taxi terminal/rank,conductors and roadside sellers helped a lot. In some places I was literally overwhelmed by either students or sellers to get tracts and also to help.
The Lord kept me safe from physical harm, the authorities never asked a question, from people in the streets to school gates, football teams to market women. Mothers will pass by me but the children on their backs will cry pointing at me thus forcing them to pick tracts. Other children will wave at me looking straight in my eyes yet others were rushed by their parents so that they do not take a tract. I could see anger too from some. Twice I was offered money, others still offered me meals.
I was called many names, “pastor”, “man of God”, “servants”, and for those I had the opportunity I asked them to just call me Eric or kaka (brother)
Twice I fell sick, in Fort Portal and Mbale…the doctors were amazed that I was very healthy with normal blood pressure and sugar, only fatigued.
So many things happened.
All honor and Glory is to the Lord Jesus Christ for I just did what I am supposed to do.
May the Lord bless many with His salvation, may he forgive me where and when I did that which was not supposed to be done for I am just a man of feet of clay.
I thank the Lord Jesus for His traveling mercies, protection and guidance. I thank Him for all of those who made it possible to visit these cities with the gospel.
Thank you all for your prayers, always having me and the work in your thoughts, I only know brother Brad and brother Thornton but I am sure there are many like minded brethren-thank you all and may God richly bless you.
From Uganda,
It’s brother Eric Mutale
Only when you have no more tracts left then you can leave this spot…many others around meaning up to 5 people can take position around here and share the gospel.
