Since starting this blog we had our first outing as a band, in a small village called Ndolwa, on the other side of Kamuli. The invitation came from our Papa (Paul Hunter), and the pastors who coordinated this event. We gathered 10 members and headed for Jinja last Thursday the 19th. We shared a good meal with Papa Paul, Mama Pam, and our sisters Blair and Robyn. On Friday we were well fed by Mama, and once we were finished working around the house we set out for Kamuli. The three hour drive was not so bad, but the roads demanded us to move at a slow pace. When we arrived, we found many people surrounded by the stage. Everything was set up and we were able to get started right away. Although there were some troubles with the sound system it did not disturb our mission in serving God. When we were finished Papa was asked to share a word with the people. We spent some time praying for some 20 to 30 people who gave their lives to Christ. The time with each other was good for us. Saturday morning was the end of our trip to Jinja and Kamuli, but not the end of the work God was doing through that weekend. Sunday 74 people were baptized and led to Christ.
This week we are starting a new journey. We will be traveling with Papa & Mama, Blair & Robyn, and Jeff Kasigwa. We begin leaving Jinja at 7am, traveling all day to Mbarara. Our trip includes ministering at KIU in Ishaka on Saturday, visiting Holy Spirit Fire Church and another church in the village on Sunday, Wednesday we will travel to Kamwenge, Thurs. and Fri. we are attending a seminar, a dinner in the village on Saturday, Sunday involves ministering in a friends church. On Monday we start the journey back home. We ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers. When we return from this trip, we will share the experience's we encountered.
