Another Sunday in Uganda

We just returned from Church and lunch. We had lunch at the Triangle Hotel; we all had fish and chips. They have a lake fish here that is good and fries up nicely and is put with fries - which are real potatoes. They have a thing called Top Up that is a replacement for ketchup - the Fulks like it but it is nothing but watered down ketchup.

The church that I was at this morning was the most primitive of the churches that I have been in and the smallest. The pastor is a student and he loves the people. He has 3 or 4 men and 5-6 women and then there are folks who come and go and lots of children; yet a good beginning and the men all help. I sat on a very low chair so I could see their eyes in a very small room that had no lighting except the door and it grew hotter and hotter as we worshipped, prayed, sang and danced.. It went well and when it was over the Pastor invited me to ask them questions to see if they were listening and one woman asked a question about forgiveness which told me that she was listening carefully.

The first young man I met was named Ramadan and he is a converted Muslim. I am sending two pictures: one of the Pastor - Batumbuze Paul on the left and Ramadan on the right and the second picture is of all the folks who came.

This evening we will have Missionary Fellowship at someone's home and they will nearly all be American Missionaries; and a few Europeans. Last month when I went the fellowship was good but the food was strange.

It is hot so we will nap with the fan on - thank God for the fan!

  1. Dear Brethren over there at Kodiak Bible Chapel. We thank you indeed for the work you're doing over there and having let Pastor Mark be a blessing to us in Uganda. He has taught us right from the bottom of his heart how to be Bible based church leaders at Global Theological Seminary. It has not be a loss at because he has left behind many disciples. We shall dearly miss him, but we hope one day we shall meet him.

    On my side am happy that he visited last Sunday on 2nd/08/09 the church am leading, it has just started some 3 months back as community Bible study and later those who believed on Jesus request to begin a fellowship. So pastor Mark shared with us at on Forgiveness.

    God bless you.

    Pastor Paul Batambuze Wamuka
