First Love - November Newsletter
First of all the rest of the team travelled to Uganda about 2weeks ago and are enjoying a well deserved holiday. This of course means that while some of you were enjoying stovetop and turkey this past Thanksgiving, First Love were warding off mosquitoes…or should I say the mosquitoes were having a Thanksgiving holiday too…praising God for the fresh provision (you know the bible does say that God provides food for all His creatures). I on the other hand am still stuck in Great Britain and had tea and crumpets, quiche and weak squash…oh and cucumber sandwiches for Thanksgiving (and now of course I know where the “as cool as a cucumber” saying comes from. Only a cucumber could remain that cool in spite of his position in the circle of life). So what more can I say.(?) We’re gonna miss having Christmas in the US or Europe but then again we’re looking forward to having it in Uganda. Christmas in Uganda is joyously infectious. The shopping, the shopping and more the shopping. New clothes, new shoes and the best food in the world. That of course, is topped off by spending the entire day with friends and family. What more can a soul ask for? To our friends in America, we’d like to say Happy belated Thanksgiving. Her Majesty the Queen’s still not overly thrilled by your independence but she nonetheless instructed yours truly to pass on to you her royal regards. Yours for the power of Love, Sharpe Ssewali II First Love Ministries Website: www.planetfirstlove.com Email: firstlove2g@yahoo.com [US Cell: +1 410 935 4016] [UK Cell: +4479 4001 4754] [Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your First Love] Click here to read more about First Love To purchase First Love Cds, visit |

Born
in Uganda (in July 1993), as an offshoot of a schools’ mission
program at Kampala Pentecostal Church, First Love is a group of
five (5) young men committed to impacting communities of peoples
of diverse ethnic backgrounds with the positive and wholesome
message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, through their music,
skills and lifestyles.
Regardless
of color, creed, race or background, First Love believes that
true religion starts with love and reconciliation. Hence Jesus’
message to the church to “love the Lord thy God with all your
heart, soul and strength…and love your neighbor as you would
yourself.” Jesus also said “…by this, the world will know that
you are my disciples.” This kind of love transcends all
denominational boundaries and divisions based on culture, creed
or otherwise.
Once
again, it’s a great privilege to be writing you just to fill you
in on what’s happening…or what’s not happening with First Love.
