Food distribution to the children of new life Africa ministries. We gave out rice, posh and soap to each child in  family. This was done in jinja in picture was our young man brother Jeremy who is our social worker at our project in jinja. I want to extend my thanks to our donors and the Kemp family for remembering the needy at all times as fulfilling the mission of love by our Lord Jesus Christ.

***** END OF YEAR MESSAGE *****

Fellow Urantians, brothers and sisters!

I bring you warm greetings wherever you are and congratulate you upon coming to an end of this year, which has been a very difficult one for many of us. I thank God for the gift of life. It is not something to take for granted, that those of us who are alive today have that opportunity. I send deepest condolences and sympathies to all members who have lost loved ones this year and pray that those who are sick will have a quick and full recovery.

As we come to the end of the year, my message will focus on three issues: 1. A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE Let me take this opportunity to send deep gratitude to all brothers who continue to support the FER ASCENDERS Fellowship community Kaliro Urantia Book ministry. As we all know, at the start of the year, we had continuous lockdowns. Many of our brothers lost jobs, got sick, ran short of food and other difficulties, like failure to pay rents. As I write this, we still have hundreds of our members in different places across the country who are facing difficulties getting what to eat and shelter. There are several other comrades who have lost limbs in this period/ year while many others are limping. I want to salute EVERYONE who has made any form of sacrifice in order to support us in such difficulties and advance the teachings of Christ and love of God. Our brothers and sisters in the Europe, Asia, USA, Canada, and the rest of the world, I THANK YOU. Thank you for knocking on doors, speaking out, organising fundraisings, and supporting the missionaries with logistics and other related support. Thank you all for the tireless efforts.

Even after lockdowns and many of us proved so weak and disappointing, many of you could have felt discouraged. But I am thankful to all of you who have not given up on us. I want to thank, in a special way, all our brothers outside Uganda who continue to support our missionary projects in different ways. The individuals, the artists who have been raising voices to inspire thousands, the international spiritual family network which has continued to shine a light of hope to all missionaries and all those who have contributed in one way or another, THANK YOU. I thank the millions of people in the UB Family who send us prayers and messages of encouragement. THANK YOU

2. THE PROGRESS OF FER ASCENDERS FELLOWSHIP COMMUNITY. Many people might be wondering how the true gospel is possible in outreach in FER ASCENDERS FELLOWSHIP COMMUNITY UGANDA stands. Let me use this message to once again affirm to all our BROTHERS AND SISTERS that the outreach of the New Revelations is in the favor of the people of Urantia family. All members of the Urantia Family have given what they can to support the ministry. Yes, who have many difficulties as Ugandans and has continued to move through such hardships. But we still stand strong as we used to be. Our greatest achievement so far, has been standing sttong even when there are reasons to give up. The whole world now knows that Uganda has got this gift of the new revelations. This is so important.

Secondly, the members of FER ASCENDERS FELLOWSHIP COMMUNITY UGANDA are now more awakened and ready to work together to create a joint effort towards the progress and outreach of the UB knowledge. I am proud in seeing the growth and development of FER ASCENDERS Fellowship community from a group to an organization of 740 members, young and old much more interested in the outreach of the true message. Establishment of an organization registered as Urantia Book Fellowship and based on the outreach of the true gospel is not and has never been easy anywhere in Uganda. And those who have managed to do it earlier have registered as savings, development association but thank God that we shall be the first to register as an organization based on the outreach of the true gospel. I thank everyone who has contributed to the achievements registered this year.

We may not have gotten our ultimate goal yet, but I want to assure everyone that we are on the right trajectory. If each one of us makes a commitment to do twice as much as we have done this year in this effort, we shall all be amazed at what we shall achieve. I say all this, well knowing that God is on our side.

3. UNITY/ TEAM WORK. After the first step towards the establishment of FER ASCENDERS FELLOWSHIP COMMUNITY UGANDA and calls for help we have raised as individuals, group and family; these have been calls for food help, rents, medical, clothing and ministerial requirements, I read with dismay several comments on social media about same issues. While most are sponsored or posted by people with a clearly destructive agenda, others are posted by people with genuine intentions, but who clearly do not have the full picture. Some people made it a point to accusing us leaders, arguing that perhaps if we are united we would be able to help ourselves out of such dilemma.

First of all, WE are really Many and loving but all Cannot speak at the same time. We are many but we all have special disability each of us with a point to seek for help. We have tried to set up different projects like; The giving hand, Jesus’5000 FARM AND Gifts to our Father’s Orphanage. All these have not gotten funds to support and have not yielded good.

Away from that, I wish to remind all Urantia Family members that the FER ASCENDERS FELLOWSHIP COMMUNITY UGANDA is an organization established to outreach the teachings of the UB to the most local communities and to marginalized group of people especially those who are ignored like; the blind, crippled and Many others in the best way found appropriate. We teach them the love and will of God as expressed by Jesus in Part IV of the UB.

When we formed the FER ASCENDERS FELLOWSHIP COMMUNITY UGANDA, we brought together all members who had received the UBs in their groups with all shades of opinion. This is because in our principle we believe that all Urantia Book readers will need to come together and forge a way forward towards a New Urantia. The challenge has always been the dishonesty in some cases and inconsistency in other cases. Some actors have clearly placed personal interest ahead of the general interests. There are many lessons we have learnt in trying to forge this unity, most of which we do not make public, because giving certain details can easily lead to further mistrust and suspicion.

For a certain period of time before the creation of FER ASCENDERS FELLOWSHIP COMMUNITY UGANDA , we sat in several meetings with local leaders, UB group leaders and comrades within different formations. Our view was that we needed to tackle all our challenges with a single hand, strong hands so that we would then scatter our energies across the country in trying to promote UB knowledge all over. As we were starting up, we requested every hand available for help but of our brothers who contacted, were not happy with what we decided to start they were strong pillars and part of some churches.

Some of these people were UB members, but felt that if we had registered UB based organization, we would take over their space in UB family. You can imagine! While we are busy fighting to create a strong base for the UB knowledge outreach, some actors were very comfortable with their positions! As everyone can see, this is information that we normally get and decide to keep with ourselves, but I thought it is important to share it so that the people of UB family understand the dynamics at play, and place the most trust in the rightful people.

No one else has potential to speak about such since many have kept on saying all is well. Of course not all actors within the Family have this negative attitude. There are very many decent, clear-headed individuals whose objective is to see the progress of the UB in Uganda. With all these setbacks, we have not given up on unity, but our view remains that the most important unity will have to come from the people of the UB family, and not just individuals. Of course, we continue to engage with all Ugandans, be it political leaders or not, on the urgent need to deliver ourselves from the crisis and enslavement which we face.

This coming year, we must make a conscious decision to work together as comrades because the alternative would be to resign ourselves to a terrible fate which we don’t wish to. In the coming year, each one of us should simply double his or her effort while trusting in God. I wish to report to you that we have progressed and our family has expanded to 740 members and we are in the registration process. Happy New Year to you all. God bless you. GUMPI ANDREW COHEN.

Dear God,

Help us to keep our focus first on Christ this season. Please forgive us for giving too much time and attention on other things.

Help us to reflect again, on what Christmas is really all about. Thank you that you came to give new life, peace, hope, and joy. Thank you that your power is made perfect in our weakness. Help us to remember that the gift of Christ, Immanuel, is our greatest treasure, not just at Christmas, but for the whole year through. Fill us with your joy and the peace of your Spirit.

Direct our hearts and minds towards you. Thank you for your reminder that both in seasons of celebration and in seasons of brokenness, you’re still with us. For you never leave us. Thank you for your daily powerful Presence in our lives, that we can be assured your heart is towards us, your eyes are over us, and your ears are open to our prayers.

Thank you that you surround us with favor as with a shield, and we are safe in your care. We choose to press in close to you today…and keep you first in our hearts and lives. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scene 1

I will attempt to visualize this scene from the Urantia Revelation.

3. PETER'S CONFESSION

  ^157:3.1 Early Tuesday morning Jesus and the twelve apostles left Magadan Park for Caesarea-Philippi, the capital of the Tetrarch Philip's domain. Caesarea-Philippi was situated in a region of wondrous beauty. It nestled in a charming valley between scenic hills where the Jordan poured forth from an underground cave. The heights of Mount Hermon were in full view to the north, while from the hills just to the south a magnificent view was had of the upper Jordan and the Sea of Galilee.

  ^157:3.2 Jesus had gone to Mount Hermon in his early experience with the affairs of the kingdom, and now that he was entering upon the final epoch of his work, he desired to return to this mount of trial and triumph, where he hoped the apostles might gain a new vision of their responsibilities and acquire new strength for the trying times just ahead. As they journeyed along the way, about the time of passing south of the Waters of Merom, the apostles fell to talking among themselves about their recent experiences in Phoenicia and elsewhere and to recounting how their message had been received, and how the different peoples regarded their Master.

  ^157:3.3 As they paused for lunch, Jesus suddenly confronted the twelve with the first question he had ever addressed to them concerning himself. He asked this surprising question, "Who do men say that I am?"

  ^157:3.4 Jesus had spent long months in training these apostles as to the nature and character of the kingdom of heaven, and he well knew the time had come when he must begin to teach them more about his own nature and his personal relationship to the kingdom. And now, as they were seated under the mulberry trees, the Master made ready to hold one of the most momentous sessions of his long association with the chosen apostles.

  ^157:3.5 More than half the apostles participated in answering Jesus' question. They told him that he was regarded as a prophet or as an extraordinary man by all who knew him; that even his enemies greatly feared him, accounting for his powers by the indictment that he was in league with the prince of devils. They told him that some in Judea and Samaria who had not met him personally believed he was John the Baptist risen from the dead. Peter explained that he had been, at sundry times and by various persons, compared with Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah. When Jesus had listened to this report, he drew himself upon his feet, and looking down upon the twelve sitting about him in a semicircle, with startling emphasis he pointed to them with a sweeping gesture of his hand and asked, "But who say you that I am?" There was a moment of tense silence. The twelve never took their eyes off the Master, and then Simon Peter, springing to his feet, exclaimed: "You are the Deliverer, the Son of the living God." And the eleven sitting apostles arose to their feet with one accord, thereby indicating that Peter had spoken for all of them.

  ^157:3.6 When Jesus had beckoned them again to be seated, and while still standing before them, he said: "This has been revealed to you by my Father. The hour has come when you should know the truth about me. But for the time being I charge you that you tell this to no man. Let us go hence."

  ^157:3.7 And so they resumed their journey to Caesarea-Philippi, arriving late that evening and stopping at the home of Celsus, who was expecting them. The apostles slept little that night; they seemed to sense that a great event in their lives and in the work of the kingdom had transpired.

Scene 2

I will attempt to visualize what Joshua Ben Joseph (Jesus) really looked like and create a portrait of him.

Using all of the descriptive pages of his character in the Urantia Revelations.  If you know of sections in the revelation that help you visualize Jesus please leave the links in the comment section. You too can add to the success of visualizing him as he really was.

Scene 3

Leave a link in the comment section of one of the scenes of Jesus life that most capture your imagination of what it must have been like to be there.

Trip has been delayed and will be posted here when complete.

Urantia Teaching seminar in progress with Bishop Joseph Oyuki in Busana Town Council. November 26,2021

 I had an audience  of 150 persons. But I got my concentration later after a general presentations on a selected few. 

These were 20 whom recognised the value of revelation. I will continue to meet as they grow and multiply in number of revelation readers. 

One of the District leaders also received the Urantia Book.

I assisting the new learners on how to open and read  the urantia book's index sections, paragraphs, and papers. Call it introduction to the urantia book.

It was such a wonderful meeting brothers and sisters. They welcomed the new revelations and saw it for the first time.

Young students of the UB at Gadumire village, reading and sharing the UB on November 18th 2021

It was a pleasure to see these Young students of the UB at Gadumire village, reading and sharing the UB at their study center in the  courtyard.
This was held on 18th Nov, 2021.
They were four students in attendance

[player url="https://spiritualfamily.net/file/view/42995/young-students-of-the-ub-at-gadumire-village-reading-and-sharing-the-ub-on-november-18th-2021" title="Young students of the UB at Gadumire village, reading and sharing the UB on November 18th 2021" summary="Social Networking For The World Wide Spiritual Fellowship Of All Mankind"]

The above are children and students studying the UB, they were recruited under the UB School outreach program of FER ASCENDERS Fellowship community.
 

I thank God that they are still standing and are able to read the UB and explain their perception. This group is having a total of 15 children girls and boys...
They meet every Friday for the reading of the UB...

We have six groups of this kind but I meet one per week to help them have a better interpretation of the UB....

The biggest challenge here is transport. Meeting transport fees to these Young children is a serious matter or limitation to me. 

It was their turn to read and share their interpretation of the lines...
The theme was: ' the impact of the society, environment, parents and religions on Jesus' life and to the contemporary minister. '
They were reading section;  3, 5, 6 and 7.

We always suggested or recommended the buying of a motorcycle to simplify transport challenges. This group is located at Gadumire, and the young children above are dedicated to the reading and sharing of the UB knowledge. However, they also have limitations. These include: sits, communication and others as shall be shared...

This was a preparatory planning meeting for a very mega meeting which was held here at Comrade Hotel Seeta, with the delegates from Congo! The UB leaders training gathering of 1,300 will be in Goma of Congo!!
