Other Testimonies from the CBU Team

Hannah – Favor of God Ministries is one of the most amazing organizations I have ever worked with. One of my favorite aspects of this organization is their acknowledgement of the importance of prayer. This could be seen clearly when my team, along with Favor of God, went to Pader for a crusade. When it rained and we were not able to have the crusade the first day, the Favor staff was quick to hold a prayer meeting in which everyone prayed for all aspects of the crusade. This was such a powerful time in the spirit, and I will never forget the fervor and diligence with which they prayed. I will never forget my experience with Favor of God and I know that God has changed me. Thank You!

Bekah – We walked out of the airport and met a tall Ugandan man. He was shy and didn’t say much but we soon found out he was our driver. On the way up he still didn’t say much. We were soon surprised at Nebbi that this tall, quiet Ugandan wasn’t so shy after all. David was actually not only a driver for Favor of God, but a pastor, singer, dancer and like 5 other things. David is one of the most self-sacrificing people I have ever met. We were headed to the crusade in Pader for the weekend and he wasn’t supposed to come with us because he had a retreat at his church. But our other transportation fell through and he not only drove our team the 5 hour van ride to Pader but also came back to Gulu to pick up another team and drove the 10 plus hour round trip again without any sleep. Seeing this kind of sacrifice and joy during those times was amazing to me. He gave me an example of what Christ-like servanthood is supposed to look like in everyday life. Not only is David an example, but the rest of the staff of Favor is as well. There are extreme financial constraints on the ministry, but they are still faithfully serving. That humbles me in so many ways. I hope to be like the staff of Favor of God. Even if it is only half of who they are, it’ll be more like Christ then I am today.

Brandon - I will never forget morning devotions at the Favor of God Mission House. Seeing the passion every staff member possessed when worshipping our God was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Just standing in that room the first morning, full of shock, opened my eyes to who God really is.

God is not an American God. God is not a white God. God is not only where I can see or where I have been. God is a universal God, who knows the Favor of God staff as well, and in depth, as He knows my own family. God changed my outlook of earth as well as heaven. To praise and worship God is more than just words that rhyme and music that flows. Worshipping God is raising your voice, lessening yourself and proclaiming His glory and authority over the existence of life. The Favor of God staff showed me that.
