This morning three goats decided to wake me up at 3:00 am. I have now put goats in the same category at rosters!! I will be winding up my visits to the small churches near the reed swamps and headed back to the “big city” of Jinja on Tuesday (10/30/18). Your continued prayers are appreciated.
Sunday morning worship in a church in Bsp. Lubogo’s diocese.
I’m about 1 1/2 weeks behind in posting so I wanted to let you know that today (10/24/18) I am traveling by bus from Mbale to Jinja, one day ahead of schedule. Also, I was originally spending the last 2 weeks in Hoima but I will now split my time with about one week in Masindi and one week in Hoima. All subject to change of course. Thanks for your prayers. Travel Map I’ve been to Entebbe, Kampala, then down…
It’s Sunday morning and time to preach the first of two sermons after being twenty minutes late, even though we are staying only about four blocks from the church. TIA. Between 800-900 people were here when we arrived, around 150-200 of them are children so that’s pretty cool. I preached on Christ in you the hope of glory. This is the word that I’m preaching everywhere I go. I have no idea if I’ve preached a good sermon or not,…
Saturday is a rest day until around 8:00 pm when I’m speaking to a couples group about marriage You’ve got to be kidding me!!!! Me talking to couples about marriage? God does have a sense of humor!! The crazy thing is Pastor Gordon said it was one of their best meetings!!!! It seems that God was serious about “when we are weak then He is strong”!!! Now by this time I’m not sure if I’m coming or going or if…
Friday, we had a great time with the students and I got the grand tour of the school. All in all it’s a very nice school. We have lunch and head back to Kabwobe where I’m supposed to speak at a all night prayer service at 10:00 that night. We lost the Reverend. He has family in the Rwentobo area so he was spending a few days with his family. We get back to Kabwobe in time for a little…
In the morning at breakfast, I find out that we will be going to Rwentobo to meet up with Rev. Medad at the World Shine school. This is the place that Bishop Jones took a team last spring so I finally have some idea of where I am at. It’s a pretty good ride from Kabwobe to Rwentobo so we get there around 1:00 pm and catch up with Rev. Medad at the school for a few minutes. He was…
Yawn. Stretch. With all the travel, I’m having a hard time keeping up with where I’ve been and where I’m at. Oh yeah, I’m supposed to speak to the leadership of the church, about 30-35 people at 8:00 pm. 8:00 pm rolls around and I’m waiting for the driver and the talkative Reverend to show up. 8:25 pm everyone shows up and off we go. This dinner is at one of the leaders home where there is about 35 people…
We seem to be on our way, drive a short way and hit the speed bumps eyes bouncing in your head, head hitting the ceiling and your rear ended slamming into the seat, just a normal early morning drive in Uganda. Now my new traveling companion, the reverend, is a really nice guy but he sure can talk. I’m not sure but I don’t think that he took a breath for the first hour or so. Just before we get…
You haven’t really lived until you’ve been so tired that you keep falling asleep between speed breakers only to have the brakes slammed on and you almost slam into the dash. The other option is the driver decides they are small enough that he doesn’t need to slow down and that’s when you’re head, that’s leaning against the window, gets rattled, bam, bam, bam against the window. Oh don’t even think that your going to miss out on the brakes…
