Distribute the urantia books to the new UB women readers
Introduce the urantia book to the new women readers
Training on how to read and understand the UB easily
Training on how to form UB women’s groups
Achievements:
12 women [ disciple makers attended from 3 different areas
Women leaders very excited to know about the new revelations
13 were books distributed to the women disciple makers[ new UB readers]
Introduction to part four of the Urantia book was covered-the life and teachings of Jesus
Some of the women who received the Urantia books
13 women groups are expected to form from the 13 Urantia book women readers that were given books. .
13 UB women readers made their “I will statement” that we will follow after one month on phone
Challenges:
Long distances that was under estimated according to the budget.
Departure from Ibanda to fortportal- western Uganda
Women expected to be given transport refund which was not budgeted for.
Language barrier that hindered many women from reading and understanding the new revelations.
Resistance from religious leaders.
Many other areas demanded for the Urantia books and were not enough.
Some women from some areas where we last reached didn’t have lunch due to under budgeting like fort portal [tourism city]
Way forward/ Recommendations:
Follow up will be made after one week and after two months we need to go and make training.
We need to provide lunch and transport for the UB women readers whenever they come for the training.
The Urantia book needs to be translated in different local languages for many women to be able to read it and understand it properly.
The Urantia book needs to be printed from Uganda so as to have them in big numbers to meet the demand.
We still need to go and organize meetings with the religious leaders that they may know more about the urantia book so that the book will be widely accepted.
Volunteers [ women disciple makers] who compile weekly and monthly reports needs to be paid some allowance in order to motivate them.
Low attendance due to lack of transport
In future we will also need a monthly pay for the coordinators who go on monitoring the UB women readers in their groups weekly.
Romans 10:15, And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As its written: “How beautiful are feet of those who bring good news!”
