On Monday November 8th The Way The Truth and Life Service Foundation conducted a one day Revelation Retreat and Workshop. Their were 13 Study Group Leaders present at the Retreat/Workshop.

At the day one workshop that was held in Ibanda district at Half Landon Gardens it was aiming at bringing the Urantia group fellowships leaders together for interaction, answering the underlying questions about the new revelations-truth book from their groups.

Getting to know each other and mostly to continue making it clear about the primarily goal of taking the gospel far .

Remember All the initial plans for planet earth by our Universal Father were brought to complete failure by the Lucifer Rebellion ,so it is always Good to make these leaders come together to remind themselves how they are in our Heavenly Father's service that needs committee's and revelation workers as exhibited by the Creator Son in His Early age and later public ministry.
 

We hope to host these special workshops on a monthly basis. The next workshop will take place on 9/12/2021 as we close the year!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our donor who provided the motorcycle so we can make frequent visits to all the study groups in the Ibanda District.

Hello all dear members, Friends of Urantia Book Fellowship , brothers and and sisters...
Am Andrew Cohen Gumpi the executive Director FER ASCENDERS Fellowship community based at Kaliro Uganda.

FER ASCENDERS Fellowship community is a local based organization built for the Urantia book outreach. Aiming at doing the will of our supreme father and our brother Michael.
We engage in many activities that helps to express the true love of our father to the rest of the world as presented in the Urantia book.

We also put to mind Jesus' directives / last instructions to his disciples in:

PAPER 174
TUESDAY MORNING IN THE TEMPLE and 175:1.10

 

  ^175:1.10 "While you should honor your rulers and reverence your teachers, you should call no man Father in the spiritual sense, for there is one who is your Father, even God. Neither should you seek to lord it over your brethren in the kingdom. Remember, I have taught you that he who would be greatest among you should become the server of all. If you presume to exalt yourselves before God, you will certainly be humbled; but whoso truly humbles himself will surely be exalted. Seek in your daily lives, not self-glorification, but the glory of God. Intelligently subordinate your own wills to the will of the Father in heaven.

We involve the following groups of people in our ministry as they are our true brothers and sisters;
1. Young.
2. Middle aged.
3. Aged/ elderly.
4. People with disability.
5. Single mothers.
6. Widows/ widower.

We are looking at the following to build a healthy and developed God's kingdom, most importantly peaceful, loving and caring.
1. We do farming to get food for our people and simple funds to cater for simple needs.
2. We support health feeding practices.
3. We encourage and use food medicine.
4. We dress and house the needy and poor.
5. We teach the UB to all communities in the best way possible and fit for that particular group.
6. We outreach the new revelations through performing arts like; singing, dancing, performing drama and poetry.
7. We have involved the local communities by allowing other people of the community to participate in our programs like the giving hands.
8. We offer guidance and counseling.
9. We support and encourage education of children.
10.We teach hands on skills
11. We encourage love, love, peace and hard work.

I Am for the growth and strength of the leaders of FER ASCENDERS Fellowship community Kaliro. Because it was not a simple journey to go and seeing them gathered in unity is a pleasure.....

On the motorcycle are four  boxes of Urantia books already packed and tied to be carried by a UB leader of Butalejja district carrying them for his students.

Then there's nothing like a business in this UB outreach mission to local communities.

There are lots of tough moments I faced than joy but we keep moving forward hoping for a better tomorrow just like Michael himself...

I am finding ways  to strengthen this community and helping them to stand upright and strong to outreach the new revelations to the most  local communities....

All what I am  trying to do is to let us find out good reasons to move on and the best ways to live on with the missionary journey besides the worldly demands to say; social, economic and political.

I have not been a religious leader of a big organization until now........

I started with a few disciples and they have multiplied in the long run from five to ten and twenty to the current 718 by registration...

This development and expansion has been with support of SFN the IFC and the Urantia Fellowship.

I think that funds from the IFC are grants and donations by individual members of the world family but still I don't believe that the growing FER ASCENDERS Fellowship community Kaliro will forever depend on the IFC grants and donations.

I think it's okay to start innovating ways of sourcing funds to support our activities besides the grants and donations.

FOOD SUPPORT TO URANTIA IBANDA FELLOWSHIP MEMBERS.

COVID 19 greatly affected Uganda and largely the rural places, Uganda has been under total lockdown for the last 8 months this year, schools have been closed for 77 weeks now. It has been really hard time for everyone, people have not been allowed to work hence no income for taking care of their daily expenses, the world has been a hard place to live in for the past 2 years due to the pandemic, however we always stand on our heavenly Father's promises.

Urantia Ibanda fellowships have 8 urantia study groups so far in number and about 80 members in total, male, female, young and old they meet twice in the week to study the truth book and getting much to know about themselves, Its one way of strengthening brotherhood. For the past 5 weeks we have seen these members grow in faith and welcoming the truth book in order to find out what our heavenly father’s purpose for the universe. They have learnt where the religions started from, why and how, they have come up with different questions from the study and most of questions have been attended to by Sister Monica Kemp which has continued to strengthen the faith of members.

ON 2021-10^th October The Way The truth and life services foundation conducted a visit to several groups to assess how groups were progressing the feedback was good and surprising to how these groups had welcomed the Urantia fellowships in different regions. Some of groups had started to compose songs from urantia book, which was really encouraging, Margaret and Johnprosper have so far released several songs however they are still looking for funds to video out the songs!

We later discussed the social life with them to how they were living since we wanted to move our fellowships in their homes, we visited some homes that we later discovered that most people were affected by COVID 19 challenges and mostly they were living on a single meal per day. This forced us to plan and budget for the food that was needed. We sent the email to Paul kemp who has really done a great job to help people under the urantia umbrella in Africa especially in Uganda. He welcomed the idea of helping out people with food, he later created a food drive fundraiser that attracted good hearted people to donate some food. The food was procured, and several families were given food up to date 60 families were helped and we are thankful for God’s sufficient provision and thankful to every one that reached out to help.

You can’t imagine to how many smiles that you have put on people’s faces. We are thankful for the good hearts God gave you. The campaign is still ongoing it takes a heart to give, and the heavenly rewards awaits.

That is the manifestation of Godly love, Mortal man cannot possibly know the infinitude of the heavenly Father. Finite mind cannot think through such an absolute truth or fact. But this same finite human being can actually feel—literally experience—the full and undiminished impact of such an infinite Father's LOVE. Such a love can be truly experienced, albeit while quality of experience is unlimited, quantity of such an experience is strictly limited by the human capacity for spiritual receptivity and by the associated capacity to love the Father in return. ~ The Urantia Book, 3:4:6

The Christmas season is approaching we encourage everyone to share love with less privileged by giving.

I quote one of the leaders that received food for her people, Margaret says that her group members lacked what to eat but they have always prayed for provision and God did it. They are all happy and encouraged in faith.

We really appreciate Brother Paul, Sister Monica kemp and SFN family that has been so helpful and resourceful for these fellowships and support.

So many testimonies are coming up and everyone has been encouraged.

We are currently in need of a motorcycle to ease transportation in long distances, to ease weekly visits to those groups and fellowship with them.

Blessings,

The Way the Truth and life Services Foundation.

Right now I am using the little I have to connect with every UB Leader here in Uganda so that I can get their independent mind on the Budget and what their expectations are as you know many of them are always reserved when it comes to coming together meetings. 

In this way am able to capture their thoughts and then be able to come up with something meaningful.

Tomorrow I will be driving to Jinja to meet with Bishop Joseph Oyuki

Meeting at Bishop Joseph's Mother Church Jinja Uganda

As we continue to share ideas on how to move forward with the shaping of the Urantia Book Reader movement in Uganda, Africa I managed to hold a feedback session with Bishop Moses and Wife Pastor Caroline yesterday 12th Oct on top of my visit to Bishop Joseph Oyuki and Wife on 1st October.

Bishop Moses Kaharwa | Pastor Caroline Masagala | Matte Jockas

All these visits have been beneficial to the Urantia Book ministry and all stakeholders as we continue to connect with communities and shape the future of Urantia Book work.

During these visits, I have been able to interact and understand the needs of UB Leaders as these are more crucial conversations that have amended the continued work plan development and Budget for Ugandan Leaders.

Thanks to all of you for the amazing moments shared together and I look forward to Learn more with time to time.

At my end I have already developed something and work plan along with the Budget and a simple write up but this can not be shared without the knowledge of other Leaders so that is why am carrying out these private visits as I drive to each of their Location to get their ideas and what their challenges are and how we can move forward together.

Then on Wednesday I will be driving to Kaliro to meet with brother Gumpi Andrew as the final person

All these long movements I drive over 90kms away from Kampala to each of their locations to and from that's too much to be done in one day

As well, brother Billy got involved in a  nasty motorcycle accident that almost took his life. tomorrow I will be visiting him too. I am planning to buy for him some food stuffs.

I may be limited by funds to do that. But I will try. Tomorrow is the day.

[1:13 p.m., 2021-10-15] Today we made our recording on TV that will be aired tomorrow. It was on the Right to Grow through Food Nutrition and WASH practices.I also got the opportunity to talk about the Urantia Book on how to build capacities of people.

Recording on TV 

Every day of my life, I cherish every single person that brings light in my soul..... It's the purpose of my dream to serve and Empower those in much greater need than I do... Today I got inspired by the Hat and it's the momentum of life I would like to keep my dreams to keep flourishing for those who care and need to be cared for.

This study meeting was held on  2021 15th October. Meeting with students of the UB at Buyuge Village again....

Am happy taking the lead of the reading and initiating this group of Young children into the ministry....

Now sharing paper 122 The Life and Teachings of Jesus - BIRTH AND INFANCY OF JESUS...

I thank God and Michael for the gift of life....
Am happy that I am able to stand up again even when I fall....

My name is Craig Backman and until recently, I WAS, a proud Senior Constable with Victoria Police. On the 17th of September 2021, I wrote an email to Management of Victoria Police where I outlined my reasons for refusing to be a part of any activity that I believed unfairly breached the Human Rights of Victorian citizens, as ordered by the Victorian Government. I had hoped that by speaking out in such a formal way, that my message would have been taken seriously by Victoria Police and may have been encouraging to other members, who I knew where also deeply conflicted regarding the enforcement of Health recommendations that have been inconsistent, illogical and detrimental to our communities as a whole, in so many ways.

I was also concerned that Victoria Police was losing the trust and faith of the Victorian Public, through the tactics used to enforce these recommendations, which have at times, in the eyes of many including myself, been quite brutal, and creating unnecessarily dangerous situations for all. I had hoped that my email to Management on the 17th of September clearly explained that our loyalty should be to upholding the rights of the citizens of Victoria, but as I received no reply, I was extremely saddened and disappointed that it appeared our leaders did not share my sentiments. Then, I heard the Premier of Victoria declare that “unvaccinated people” will lose their right to employment and would be “locked out” of both the Economy and the Healthcare System, due to the decision not to take an injection with unknown long term side effects being considered “high risk” behaviour”.

I was so disgusted by this blatant demonising and discrimination against a section of the Public that I made the decision that I could no longer be a part of any organisation that would be party to such blatant and deliberate breaching of Human Rights and creation of a “two-tiered” and segregated society. Let me ask you, if “high risk” behaviour justifies being denied medical treatment, where does that ideology end? Should a person who overdosed on illicit substances be denied treatment and left to die because of the choices they made? How about people who ride motorcycles? Cyclists who ride on the road and get hit by a car? How about smokers, or people who drink too much alcohol, or get diabetes from an unhealthy lifestyle or go on dates with strangers through dating apps and get sexually assaulted? How about rock climbers or Surfers or Race car Drivers or Jockeys or people who play contact sport? Should we also deny medical treatment to these people and leave them to die because of there life choices? Of course not, because that would be inhumane and disgusting in a society that values Human Rights, Freedom of choice and respect for each other as individuals. The Premier didn’t stop there.

Daniel Andrews went on to mandate that all “authorised workers” must be injected with a drug (that has been repeatedly referred to as a vaccine, which it is NOT) that has a poor short term safety record and no long term safety record at all, if they want to retain their Human Right to employment. So now, 2 weeks to slow the spread back in early 2020 has become “show me your papers or no soup for you”! If this situation wasn’t so dire it would be comical! The ability to earn a living, to put a roof over your and your families heads, to put food on the table, to provide basic needs for yourself and you dependents is now being removed from people unless they comply with the Government’s demands. Is this Australia?

Is this Democracy at work or something quite the opposite? The stress, anxiety and pure mental anguish that these “mandates” are causing thousands of Victorians is immeasurable. I shudder at the thought of what these people must be feeling at this point, faced with a choice between starvation and homelessness for their whole family OR participate in a medical trial that has in fact, killed thousands of people around the world. If that is not the very definition of coercion, I don’t know what is. But hey, we’re free to choose, right?

Victoria Police members are essentially “professional investigators”, from the top of the organisation to the bottom. Every rank and role within it attends to jobs that require investigative ability. My disillusionment with the organisation is not only due to the tactics used to Police this Pandemic response, but what I believe to be an abject failure in our ability, as professional investigators, to not see that the narrative used by the Government, did not and does not match the evidence on the ground and from around the world, and therefore further investigation was required. Many of my former colleagues and myself, began to struggle daily, with the constant reminder that our organisation’s leaders seemed to be ignoring clear signs that the evidence from around the world regarding this pandemic, was at odds with what our Government was claiming as fact.

On the 6th ,7th  and 8th October, 2021.
I was able to move and meet a newly created group of young UB readers at Buyuge village Gadumire Sub county....

We started with Paper 120.
Working on the introduction of the Life and teachings of Jesus.
