This is a story of a Karamojong warrior turned Christian. The Lord Jesus Christ appeared to him out of a light and spoke saying, "I have chosen you to be a light to your people. You are going to begin this ministry here in Teso, and you will continue with it even up to Karamoja and other lands." Today we are witnesses of a great ministry that shook that primitive region of Uganda. Dead people were raised to life and incurable diseases got miraculously healed, but above all, the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ was preached in its purity, undented with denominational dogma or theology. Once again we have had the opportunity to see that God reveals Himself in simplicity. Brother John Mark Louse went to be with the Lord on February 26, 2015. He was 60 years old. He was survived by his wife and 12 children. This book presents to you a story of his life and some sermons he preached. It is our hope that through reading this testimony your heart will be stirred to earnestly contend for the Faith that was once delivered to the saints.

The written Word is like a seed of a plant. A seed conceals the stem, leaves, and the fruits of a plant. However, when planted in the ground and with the right conditions around, what seemed absent to our eyes manifests When the Spirit of the Word manifests (through revelation or prophetic fulfilment) carnal eyes will still never be able to discern it. In this age God sent a message of restoration which has been understood by few people only. Are you one of them? Do you have ears to hear the speaking of God? Through the pages of this book may you find inspiration that will stir your heart to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints.

Many have for long contended that science disapproves the existence of God. The current unprecedented levels of religious violence seem to further portray faith as a vice and not a virtue. The God-debate is slowly warming up even in deeply religious nations. Zambia is one such country that was one day awakened to this reality when an atheist medical practioner freely expressed his atheistic views on TV. This was too controversial for many viewers. Sadly, much of the clerical responses to the atheist's arguments were mere rhetoric, lacking intellectual rigor. In "Why I Believe God Exists" Andrew admonishes Christians to give heed to the Biblical admonition to "be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15). He defends the existence of God by responding to the following challenges often raised by atheists: -"Faith is evil as it has brought more harm to society - there would have never been 9/11, al Qaeda, or ISIS, had religion not existed".-"Postulating God as the creator only raises the question of 'Who created the creator' "-"There is no scientific evidence for the existence of God".-"How can a perfect God create an imperfect world filled with the evil of pain and suffering?"This book is intended to strengthen a believer's faith and also present an opportunity to a person who may want to believe in God but finds his intellect stultifying him.
