K.L. Dickson

When K.L. Dickson was a teen boy growing up during the Idi Amin reign in Uganda, a team of students from ORU made a missions trip to his country. On the final day of their visit, they came to his school and gave a Gospel presentation. When they gave the salvation invitation, because of the fear and intimidation that prevailed during Amin's brutal reign, only one person responded publicly in the classroom: K.L. gave his life to the Lord that day.

The team of students from ORU left Uganda the next day, and I'm sure none of them had any idea what would become of the 'seed' they had sown in that Ugandan high school.

K.L. didn't just pray a simple prayer and go back to his old ways. He followed Jesus. Devouring God's Word and responding to God's call, he soon answered a call to ministry. From the beginning, his message of simple faith in God has been characterized by numerous healings, signs and wonders. Over the past 25 years, that ministry has led him to establish a congregation in Ft. Portal, Uganda of more than 10,000 members. In addition, he provides apostolic oversight to another 1,000 churches in Uganda, and, with the help of CLC, now owns a radio station that broadcasts the Gospel throughout Uganda and even other nations of Africa.

K.L. has been a guest at CLC several times over the past eight or nine years, and we've seen some wonderful healings and answers to prayer through his visits here.

He will be in Tinley Park for all 3 services this weekend, March 8-9 and in Shorewood on Sunday, March 16 as part of our "March Madness" series at CLC. I urge you to invite a friend to join you in hearing this dynamic man of God!

When he was at CLC last time, he prayed over our daughter Kayla who was in 4th grade at the time. She had been experiencing chronic stomach pains and was not sleeping or eating properly. We had taken her to every hospital and specialist we could think of and had several tests taken--we were told it was possibly Leukemia. We were near our wits end when Pastor Dickson came. He prayed over Kayla, and she was overtaken by the spirit. She has NOT experienced another stomach pain since that day! I am so excited to see him again.
