Sept. 23 - Sunday Worship and Travel


Today is Sunday.  One of our team members, Kathy, and the vet students returned to Kampala early this morning as Kathy had to catch a plane to Kenya this afternoon.  The rest of the team stayed in Namayingo to share at 2 local churches.  We were the guest pastors for the services.  Andy, Liz, Sara and, Hillary went to a small church that had recently formed.  There were about 40 people in service.  The praise and singing is amazing.  Africans really know how to worship.  The only musical instrument was a drum but they are great singers and the ladies love to ululate (a noise made with the tongue, kind of like a war cry).  A couple of people gave their testimony about how God was working in their lives.  We all shared our testimonies and something from God’s Word.  Andy and I did a devotion on how marriage is a picture of Christ’s relationship with the church.  It was really fun and well received.  Next they had us pray over 2 ladies who were sick and all the school children so they would do well in their studies.  It was a great time of fellowship.

In the afternoon we took a very short boat ride on Lake Victoria as it was very windy with whitecaps on the water.  Then we drove the 5 hour trip back to Kampala.  Tomorrow the other 2 members of our team, Sara and Hilary, leave. Several other missionaries and we head to Soroti with Dr. Val to start work there.

I am sorry you are receiving the last few days late but we have again had no internet access for 4 days.
