I am Kasereka Mulemberi, a Theology student at Uganda Christian University, Bishop Barham University College, Kabale, but from Democratic Republic of C.ongo I have been attending Empower seminars together with my wife, Denise.
After completing the first seminar we understood that man and woman were all equally created in the image of God, not that one should rule over the other, but that both of them should rule over other creatures. In our culture, we were taught that man was superior to the woman and therefore the ruler of the woman.
After having understood the passages in the Bible study book of Empower, we decided to change our ways of living, and to submit to each other in love.
Within a few days we enjoyed this new way of life so much that we decided to share it with our neighbors. We went to Congo for our holidays, and got a couple to share with. After some days we were six couples and three single young men.
We left them because we had to come back to Uganda to continue with our studies. But they had liked the teachings so they decided to always meet and discuss.|
After reaching Kabale I got then the chance of attending the Master Class seminar of Empower in March, 2013. In August, when we went to Congo for our last holidays, we were happy that the group had continuing meeting. We got testimonies from three women of the team that life was changing in their homes. One of the young men had married in June, and had gone far from where we live. I praise God so much that he has sensitized other people around him.
During my last holiday in Congo I met with them two times. So far we are 9 couples and 5 singles, and the newly married man has 4 couples and 2 singles to meet with.
I praise God so much that I am finishing my course in May and will go back to Congo. I hope we are going to reach more people.
God bless you and Empower International Ministries. We are very happy that we attended Empower seminars. We are now living a new life.
