Session #2

The Flow: Caring for the New Believer
1 John 2:12-14

The Flow: Level #1 (1 John 2:12-14) audio mp3 shows how new believers grow - translated from English into Luganda - shows the basic needs of new believers and how to properly care for them.

This audio on The Flow: Level #1 shows how Christians begin to grow and are nurtured in their early spiritual life. The new believer is likened to a new baby and his needs.

Amasomo gano agatendeka gayamba omuntu okwʼanjura okukulukuta eri omuntu omulala. Mu ngeri eyʼebigambo oba ey,okusomesa. Tumanyide nyo okutendekebwa mu byʼenjiri naye batini abatendekedwa mu buyigirizwa bwʼokuwa amagezi agʼokutendekebwa.

Ekirubirirwa kyaffe wano si kwekutekaw embeera yʼokukuza eye banga eddene naye okulungamya omuwi wʼamagezi okuyamba omuntu okuzuula wa waali mu bulamu bwe bwʼekikulisitayo. Tutunulide okuyamba buli mu kulisitayo okukula obulungi mu bulamu bwabwe obwʼekikulisitayo.
