The team broke into two groups with one team spending the morning with Pastor Steven at Muyembe church and the second team spending the morning with Pastor Samson at Kapchora church. Muyembe was the church that was rebuilt last year and the TBC team rededicated it after spending the week evangelizing the area. Kapchora church was built in 2000 and has faired very well. Kapchora is in the mountains about 50 miles from the Kenya border. At both churches, the teams experienced worship Africa style with the traditional African "high pitched bird sound", as was quoted by an earlier team, greeting us as we got off the vans. What a hoot!
The teams returned to Mbale PCU church, Pastor Morris' home church, around 1pm and enjoyed lunch along with playing with the church's kids. A side visit to survey the church grounds of Pastor Ogenga for future seminary expansion occurred and then the whole team left for Lulwanda Children's Home. 90 kids greeted the vans in a rush of humanity. Hugs and smiles were abounding in both the kids and our team.
Everyone ate supper at Mt. Elgon Hotel tonight and have retired to get some sleep or last minute preparation for tomorrow's first day of hut to hut evangelism. It should be fun. We are back in the mountains again at Bulucheke church. Pray for no afternoon rains so that the crusade does not get washed out and that each team member has peace in their first face to face encounter with gospel presentation Uganda style.

Prayers for the team and prayers that the Holy Spirit opens the hearts of those hearing God's Word. As with all missionary teams, I strongly pray that God does a work in the hearts of those delivering the message as well as those receiving the message. May God continue to pour out His blessings (and protection) on everyone.
I love you, Betsy!
Blessings from Tulsa

Great updates, Larry...thank you. Eagerly awaiting the next installment! Praying for the team daily, and just picturing the precious faces of the kiddos at LCH makes me teary. Wish we were there with you, but we are so there in love.
We love you,too Betsy! The boys can't wait to hear Nana's stories...

Still lookin' for footage of Judy shootin' the class 5 Nile rapids on a boogie board - cowabunga! Or, in this case, ungawa-bunga! Love ya, Mama. God bless every one of you.
To God be the glory, great things HE will do thru each of you - a thrill to see you all in your pic and to be praying for your daily needs.
Judy, we're in your corner!
Joy to all,
Suellen & Rich
Don, You and the team were in our prayers at our Men's Bible study this morning. We really needed you Saturday morning for Angel Food, Stan didn't bring the sausage rolls.
Bobby, You are also in our prayers, I'm sure that you're getting stretched a little.
