A preacher was driving home one night with his wife and two daughters in the car. It was raining and dark and because of the intensity of the rain he could hardly see past his headlights. On the way he had to drive over a huge bridge. There were signs posted all along the bridge that said "DO NOT PICK UP HITCH-HIKERS." There was an institution for the criminally insane near the base of the bridge and sometimes people would escape from it and try to hitch a ride. On this particular night, as he turned his car on to the bridge, he had to drive exceptionally slow because he could hardly see the road. Somewhere near the top of the bridge a man suddenly appeared in the headlights. He was soaked, standing in the middle of the road with his shirt off frantically waving it over his head and screaming.
This preacher's wife began to say, "Oh please don't stop, try to drive around him!" But the man was unavoidable and there was nowhere for the car to go to miss him. So he had to stop the car and as soon as he did, the man slapped his hand down on the hood of the car and was screaming at the top of his lungs. The preacher looked over at his wife and said to lock the door after him and not to unlock it until he returned. His family was now crying and pleading with him not to get out of the car. He opened the door and stepped outside...He was immediately soaked from the rain. As he approached the front of the car to grab the man, all of a sudden he could make out what the man was screaming, "THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT! A BUS LOAD OF KIDS JUST WENT OVER!" As these words registered in the preacher's mind, he looked back in the car at his wife and two daughters. He wrapped his arm around the man and wept in gratitude. The preacher stood there with the man for the next half-hour in the middle of the road, waving his jacket above his head screaming."THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"
For a lost and a dying world, "THE BRIDGE IS OUT!" For a people heading to a Christless Eternity,"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"
where are the men and the women who will stand in the middle of the road and forbid people to perish ?Lovely Thoughts For Lovely

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I trust this message finds you well and filled with the spirit of giving. As a cherished member and coordinator of our Christ Michael Center Kampala fellowship family, I am compelled to reach out to you with a heartfelt appeal for your support. Our fellowship is currently composed of 15 members, of these 3 are females and the rest are males. Most of the group members are at Makerere University others are at Kampala International University. Our fellowship is growing at a high speed as we aim at accomplishing our target of spreading the word of the new revelation to all universities in Uganda and the whole world at large.In these unprecedented times, our fellowship family has faced its share of trials and tribulations. Yet, through the strength of our unity and the unwavering commitment to our spiritual journey, we have persevered. However, as we navigate the challenges of the current landscape, we find ourselves in need of additional resources to sustain our momentum and continue our mission of spiritual growth and community building.
Our primary avenue for staying connected and fostering spiritual nourishment is through virtual gatherings and study sessions conducted via Zoom and Google meet. While these online platforms have proven invaluable in maintaining our sense of community, they come with their own set of challenges. The costs associated with organizing these events, including event coordination and data expenses, have placed a strain on our resources.
Due to high zoom cost implementation and maintenance in terms of subscription fee and data expenses, we have found it a good idea to opt for Google meet as our overall mode of conducting our virtual meetings. In making more research we came to know that if we get in position of raising Canadian dollars 192, we can be able to obtain a premium Google meet account for our fellowship for one year. The Google meet premium account can enable us conduct our meetings without any time limits.
As we all know that every good aspect has some challenges attached to, we came to realize that attending a meeting via Google meet for an hour costs $5 per attendee per hour. We are looking at always attending our fellowships for about 2 hours or more making it a requirement for each attendee to be in position of having $6 as data expenses for the estimated time. This has left us with limited finances to assist the members in attending our fellowships.
This is where your support can make a tangible difference. By contributing to our fundraising efforts, you will directly empower us to:
1. Enhance the quality of our events: Your generous donation will enable us to elevate the caliber of our virtual gatherings and study sessions. From securing knowledgeable guest speakers to investing in interactive learning resources, your support will help us deliver enriching experiences that deepen our spiritual understanding and strengthen our bonds as a community.2. Expand access to all members: We recognize that financial constraints should never be a barrier to participation in our fellowship family. With your support, we can provide assistance to those members who may face challenges in accessing the necessary technology or internet connectivity required for our online activities. Your generosity will ensure that every member of our community feels valued and included, regardless of their circumstances.
3. Sustain our collective growth: Your investment in our fellowship family is an investment in the collective well-being and spiritual evolution of each member. By supporting our initiatives, you are helping to create a nurturing environment where individuals can explore their faith, deepen their spiritual connection, and forge lasting friendships that extend beyond the confines of our virtual gatherings.
Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a profound impact on the lives of our members and the vitality of our community. Together, we can overcome the obstacles before us and emerge stronger and more united than ever before.
Thank you for considering our appeal and for your continued commitment to the Christ Michael Center Kampala fellowship family. May your generosity be a beacon of hope and inspiration to us all.
With heartfelt gratitude and blessings,
NIWAMANYA BENJAMIN MAGARA (Coordinator CMC Kampala Fellowship)
