Local men in 24 hour sit out for Uganda project

Paul Sayers from Cloughmills and Jonathan Gault are both members of local Christian group, 'Ignite' and will sit out from 7 p.m. until 7 p.m. on New Year's Day.

Paul, a farmer, and Jonathan, a businessman, say their sit out will give people an opportunity to find out more about Ignite and to support their work.

The Ignite team are involved with building, water, education and child sponsorship projects in Uganda. However, it is evangelising and sharing God's love that the team get the most joy.

"To see God drawing people to s aving faith in Jsus and Him alone is the most amazing thing to see and to God be all the glory," Mr. Gault said.

Ignite plan to travel out to Uganda on Saturday, January 9 to continue their work and the vision that God has given.

"We believe very much in sharing their faith in what the Lord has done in our lives through His saving grace and on the cross and in living out that faith, God encourages us in James chapter 2 verse 18 where it says 'and I will show thee my faith by my works.'"

Both Johnathan and Paul are urging people to show their support and encouragement by giving donations.
