We Found the Source!

So today was our last day in Kayunga. Ian and Milly took us to Jinja to see the source of the Nile! It is actually pretty neat. If it hadn't been spoiled by 3 hydro-electric dams we are sure it would have been even more spectacular.  Friday we are headed to Nansana (Kampala) to visit our friends from CLD for a few days before going on to Calvary Chapel Entebbe and then home!! God has been so good to us.  Everyone is in great health and excited to begin our debrief time.  Wednesday Grant preached for the final time (we think, haha.) Every day has been a great blessing. One of the greatest needs here in rural Uganda is knowledge of scripture.  Grant asked Ian about how many pastors had any formal education in the scriptures. Any bible education, not just 2 and 4 year bible schools.  Less than half, and he said even that was a generous estimate. Wow...what a tremendous need.  These pastors have plenty of passion for Jesus but watching pre-recorded sermons of Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer and TD Jakes can only take you so far as a pastor or even as a Christian.  No sermon can replace reading and knowing scripture for yourself.  Please keep all the believers here in your prayers.  One of the greatest rewards from our time here in Kayunga is the down time we have had to read scripture.  African time is full of long gaps and we have both been investing that extra time in the word. It seems that no matter how many times you read God's word it always gets better! It is also surprising to see how much more time you have to study scripture when there is no internet!

Be praying for Uganda.  We are sure you have heard about the bombings on Sunday during the World Cup.  Uganda has never seen Islamic Terrorism like this before and everyone is pretty shaken up.  It is very easy for Christians to get all worked up and forget about Jesus' message of love and forgiveness.  We want to thank all of you again for your prayers and support through our trip.  As we make our way back to Entebbe next week you can be expecting an update on Frank.
