Well, he said that Uganda has more religous freedom than America. They can talk about Jesus on the streets, in school, anywhere.
Drugs are not a big problem, witchcraft is.
Misssionaries that we send are non-effective. They want to get people saved but what the people need is teaching. It's more effective to disciple one person from Uganda and then let them go and spread the Word. But what the missionaries normlly do is go in and try to get a bunch of people saved ....then leave.
When asked what he felt the biggest problems with the church in America are, the following answers were given:
1) Americans don't pray enough. Americans have too many distractions. In Uganda, christians pray for hours.
2) Americans know the Bible, know the Greek & Hebrew but don't "know" the Bible.
3) Many American churches preach about the God of yesterday and many preach about the God of the future but few preach about the God of now.
When asked wether he felt other countries will eventually send missionaries to the U.S., he said yes, but that the ground is very hard for planting seed. He says many in his country pray for America every day.
