A Letter from Steve in Uganda: How I Shocked My Fellow Taxi Riders
It seems like someone who had “seen absolutely everything” as a daily taxi conductor, absolutely didn’t know what to do.

“I preached heresies on the streets and in the market places.”
“It was in the year 2000 that I was convicted by the Holy Spirit, and I heard that the day of Judgment was coming. This led me to repent of my sins, and I trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ.
