Rest and Fun at Jinja Nile Resort

We are currently at the Jinja Nile resort. We arrived yesterday afternoon and witnessed another of God's great sunsets over the Nile river. Friday most of the team returned to Namaje to evangelize while Bob, Betsy and Ann went to three schools. The school team had a great time and were able to witness and sing praise and worship songs with the children. At Namaje, we had many good encounters with the villagers and many came to Christ. One in particular was a former LRA member that was deeply disturbed that he had killed others in the past. He had asked for forgiveness and had accepted Christ.

Saturday, the whole team went to Namaje for the morning and went to the Children's home for lunch. The day was very good and was capped by the crusade where Judy and Ann gave their testimonies and Drew preached. The man formerly of the LRA was present and was visibly joyous when a young man came forward to accept Christ. God is good! After the crusade, we returned to the children's home to see the children before we left. It is always hard to leave the children.

On Sunday, we all went to the Mbale PCU (Pastor Morris' church) where Larry preached on forgiveness. It's was an appropriate topic with all that happened in naboring Kenya this year and also has great application in all of our lives. After church we ate lunch with those at the church and drove to Jinja.
