Day 5, 6, + 7

Day 5

We traveled to the "Let There be Healing" church were we led parts of the Sunday service, the whole group sang two songs, and a smaller group of girls sang a song (Natalie, Rebecca, Hannah and Tracey)
Paster Paul gave us a warm welcome and it was very evident that the complete congregation were very joyful for us to be part of the worship .
Keith and Jessica both gave their testaimonies, and Basil did the talk, a group also led the Sunday school class by presenting the kids club.
The congregation of the church kindly prepared a lovely meal for us.
The whole service went very well and the members were super!
The service did last all in all from 10 until 4 o'clock - that is including lunch.,but the Church members were so happy to spend the time in worship and prayer.

Day 6


The team was strenghtened and encouraged by the safe arrival of Rebecca Barr and John Haw.




Nambongo Memorial Primary School is another very special place. It has around 400 pupils who are taught by a team of seven very dedicated teachers . They were extremely grateful to be given the Love for Life teaching materials as they operate with very limited resources for all their work . Their Schools wee strap line is " God is good " -- " All the time" -- "All the Time God is good "-- " and that is His nature ". Head Master Patrick was in tears as he expressed his heart felt thanks for the play ground equipment that we installed.
In the afternoon we had five programmes going at one time as part of the team moved onto " Victor Hill Secondary School " It was very encouraging to learn that this secondary school has decided to open a Love for Life club..
Every day has many special moments and when two teachers in a primary school were given reading glasses there were more tears of joy . Meeting Arnold the little boy with a heart illness along with his mother Joy was a very emotional moment , their humble gratefulness for all the prayers and financial support were extremely evident . Arnold still needs your prayers as he has breathing problems .

Day 7

St Daniel’s Primary School and St Levis Secondary School were opened ten years ago, in a place that was very badly effected by the last war in Uganda. As a result of the war many of the pupils at the school are orphans and either stay at the school or are looked after by their grandmothers . Six different programmes were held in the school . Many mothers also found the medical consultations with Dr Dickie very helpful, again these revealled health issues that require much prayer.
Once again the the local paster and Head Master were very grateful for the playground equipment that was installed .
