You are cordially invited to attend the Revival Fellowship Meeting on Saturday, September 27, 2014 at 10 a.m.   The meeting will be held in the Fellowship Hall of the Forest Hills Mennonite Church, 100 Quarry Road, Leola, PA 17540. You will hear testimonies given by Tefiro & Deborah Kisosonkole from Kampala, Uganda and also Jean Griswold from Lititz, PA




These meetings began in Eastern Pennsylvania in 1949 and have continued to the present. Missionaries returning from East Africa testified to a renewal of their Christian faith. What they shared inspired people in many denominations and so the fellowship continues.

A book has been written about the influence of the East Africa Revival - especially among the Mennonites. Dr. Richard MacMaster with co-author Dr. Don Jacobs wrote "A Gentle Wind of God". It is available on Amazon.com.

For more information about this September meeting contact Pastor Wayne Lawton in Elizabethtown at 717-361-8990, or Paul Burkholder in Lititz 717-581-3964 or Tom Hess in Harrisburg 717-756-7921

About those sharing testimony :

 Tefiro & Deborah Kisosonkole are part of the Revival Fellowship that meets at Namirembe Cathedral in Kampala. They were close friends of the late William & Sala Nagenda. They are presently visiting their daughter, Druscilla and her husband, Paul Senkungu and daughters, Peace, Joy & Grace. They will be returning to Uganda the second week of October. We welcome them here.

 Jean Griswold has been part of this fellowship in Eastern Pennsylvania since 1953. She thinks she is getting old – but we tell her, “No, just older” – “old is up ahead yet !!!” This picture of her was taken in 2005 as she visited Lawton’s to encourage Wayne on his first trip to East Africa.
