Mission Moroto Stories: 16 Sermons in 2 Days
In January of 2026, Rebekah planned and organized for Papa Matthew to visit and preach in 16 villages in 2 days. They started near the base of the mountain and worked out to the plains. Village after village the people gathered and cheered. Papa Matthew preached this. “I want to tell you the best story in the whole world! And it is a true story! But to start, I have to go way back, before there was an earth, sun, moon or stars. Before, anything else existed there existed a heavenly Being we call God. God existed in 3 persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God in 3 persons. And they were sooooo happy. They were a factory of love and joy. The Father loved the Son and the Holy Spirit and the Son loved the Father and the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit loved the Father and the Son. Everything about them was love and joy and goodness. And as we know, true love always shares so they didn’t want to keep all of this love and joy to themselves. So, they created angels. They created the heavens and the earth. They created everything good. And then they did something even the angels were stunned by. They gathered together some dirt and formed it into the shape of a human. And then they did something truly scandalous. They breathed into the body of the human the breath of life and it became a living soul. The human was called Adam (a Hebrew word for reddish dirt). Then God split the human and made from one half an Ish (man) and from the other half an Isha (woman) and the dirt people were made in the image of God! God loved the humans so much. They lived in a beautiful garden and God would come in the cool of the day and walk with the humans in perfect love and harmony. BUT God had an enemy! One of His angels wanted to be like the Most High. He wanted to receive worship. He hated the dirt people and was jealous that God loved them so. Satan knew that God is all powerful so Satan couldn’t hurt God but maybe he could hurt the people God loved. He crept into the garden. He lied to the humans. He told them that God was holding out on them. That God knew that if they ate the fruit God had told them not to eat that they would be wise like God. He told them that they could be like God without God (what Satan himself wanted). Sadly, the humans believed Satan’s lies and they disobeyed God and sin and all things bad came into the world. Suddenly there was death and hunger and disease and war and all the things we hate. Satan thought that God would kill the dirt people and then he would be done with them. But he underestimated the love and mercy of God. God lovingly told the woman that from her body would come One who would repair the damage done between humans and God. And many years later, the second person of the Trinity, the Son Himself, came into the womb of a human woman, a virgin named Mary and was born. He was both dirt man and God!!!! Only He could bring heaven and earth back together. He grew up and showed the human race what the love of the Trinity looked like. He fought Satan, He healed diseases, He fed the hungry, He released those oppressed by demons. He was the announcement that the Kingdom of God had come. And finally, He went to the cross as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. He who knew no sin became sin for us. On the cross, through the shedding of His blood and His death, He took all the sins of the world upon Himself and destroyed the power of death and the power of sin, He defeated the power of darkness and restored humans to relationship with God (at this point the people are cheering and clapping and dancing). He died and was buried and three days later He arose from the dead. He spent 40 days teaching His disciples about the Kingdom of God and then He floated up to heaven. And then the Father and the Son sent the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, to live inside of us dirt people who repent and believe! Now, the Holy Spirit is filling us dirt people with the love and joy of the Trinity and through us the love of God and the Kingdom of God is expanding through the earth. And someday, Jesus Himself will return and will remake the earth like new and heaven will come down to earth and we will live with God in love and joy through all eternity.” When Papa Matthew is finished the people cheer and clap and dance. Then those who want to profess their faith in Christ come and kneel down to be prayed over. Then those who need healing kneel down and are prayed over. Then we move on to the next village down the road. www.missionmoroto.org #missionmorotostories
