In March 2014, Bishop Chuck Jones traveled and ministered in Uganda and Tanzania with an anointed team from the USA. Below is a slideshow of pictures I took of the team ministering. (And yes, I was there…just behind the camera!) 2014

I want to thank everyone for all the prayers for my brother and his family. There is no way that I could ever tell you or explain how much your prayers have helped and how much they mean to me. Please continue to pray for my brother, Larry, his wife, Betty, their children, and grandchildren. Right now he’s struggling for his life here in CICU at Shelby Hospital in AL. Growing up, my brother was my hero. There is a…
Just a quick post to let you know that Ron has arrived in America safely and he is spending time with his family. Your continued prayers are greatly appreciated. Thank you, Karen Welch
Just a quick post to update you. On Sunday morning I will be going to Dodoma but not to visit the church as planned. My older brother, Larry, is in the hospital and I have decided to go to America to see him. I will be taking a bus from Dodoma to Dar es Salaam (an all-day bus ride) where I’ll spend the night before catching a flight back to America. My flight leaves on Monday night (about 3:00 pm…
It’s Thursday, July 17th, I think. We are on our way somewhere, and of course I have no idea where we are going. We just stopped at a village close to Bishop Jackson’s home to get this out. My reception was good on the way to his house but right in his compound I don’t have any. I’m hoping that I won’t have to go very far to be able to have internet on a regular basis. I left Mwanza…
I have been in Mwanza, Tanzania for three weeks of unofficial “cultural training” and I’m now getting ready to go on to Dodoma on Tuesday the 15th. That’s getting ready…it might actually be Tuesday or it might be Wednesday…or Thursday…after all it’s Africa. Mwanza is an awesome town on the shores of Lake Victoria in the north central part of Tanzania. It is the second largest town in Tanzania. Those who live here call it rock city because it’s hills…
This Thursday, July 10, 2014, was a good day for a deacon. We were up before 6am headed to the hospital to visit a relative of Bishop Sekelwa’s wife. Bishop said that this was the third largest hospital in Tanzania and the best in Mwanza. It was built by the Israelis and is part of a college run by the Catholic Church to teach doctors. The building is 8 stores tall and looks like a medium sized hospital in America…
This was my 3rd Sunday in Mwanza but my first Sunday to preach at one of Bishop Sekelwa’s churches. We went to a church just outside of Mwanza in Myamhongoro. Yep, that’s a mouth full! Even Africans have trouble trying to say that name unless they from there. We left home at around 9:15 am in order to arrive at the church on time but everyone else was late. This is Africa so you just have to learn to be…
