During this time as a District Commissioner Dad felt cold towards the Lord and too reliant on his own abilities. A visit to Uganda brought him to repentance. Here it is again from his diary.
We always rather despised revival language and “techniques” in Ruanda, and yet we wanted the blessing! Then in the 1949 down there God met and blessed us (through an accident to my hand) and brought us into a new place of blessing with each other and the children, and we returned to the Sudan with a new testimony of God’s forgiveness and of our getting right with each other and “walking in the light” together.
And then we found to our amazement, that this was what God had been waiting for, and he began to work in powerful ways in the lives of very many – amongst our servants, police, civilian staff, and missionaries and their school, children and people, and hundreds of lives were touched by the Spirit of God. Restoration was made of things stolen, relationships were put right, confessions were made (even one of murder) and there was very much joy.
