OK – as I’ve had loads of complaints that I’ve been silent for the last few days, I’ve hunted out some internet at Doha airport (as we’ve got 7 hours to kill). So here’s the final blog on this latest trip to Uganda….
As you’ll have seen from the last photos, the climbing frame has gone down really well. Pastor James hasn’t stopped saying “thank you, thank you, thank you” etc. We’ve just been looking back at all the photos that were taken during the build and having had a few days to ‘recover,’ we’re really pleased with the results. Thanks to all of you for your support during the prep and the interest while we’ve been over here.

Wow what a day! Started at the church that meets in a red cross building in town where there was some of the usual exuberant African praise
followed by loads and loads of testimony as to what God has done in people’s lives. Both Richard and I had the opportunity to share messages with the church which were both received very well and a number of people responded to the challenges given. After a quick break we took an hours journey up to a small fellowship in a place called Koch where we have bought some land to plant a church.

We had the amazing privilege of sharing a meal with a former witch doctor who has now become a Christian and is part of the church. His wife was the first convert to Christianity in that particular village and the reason behind the church plant. We heard some amazing stories of this particuar man’s struggles with his former life. Totally inspiring! And more dirty drinking water … man – it’s depressing.
Can’t wait for tomorrow though, as we will be starting the construction of the climbing frame at school. Check back for pictures and post….

Just a quick post tonight as we’ve spent all day getting up from Entebbe on the public bus again (only one seat available on the Post Bus! But then hey – it’s all part of the ‘real’ Uganda! hee hee)
