Monday morning, Pius and I arranged our belongings into the car and drove out to Bululu SubCounty of Kaberimaido to teach a three day course. The drive took about 1 hour and the pastors and church leaders began to gather as soon as they heard the car drive into the area. Word spread quickly that the mzungu had arrived.
Prayer and worship add to the training time, to make for a full course load, but it was truly amazing to see how thirsty these people were for training. They soaked up every word and asked great questions. They now feel better equipped for evangelism and they also see how important it is for the children to be ministered to... both inside and outside of the classroom.
27 church leaders gathered, from 5 different village churches, to attend a 3 day training. The churches worked together to provide food throughout the trainings.
I felt so comfortable teaching a course on Evangelism and Children's Ministry and it was super exciting to see the leaders grasp the material and have a heart to begin adding the trainings to their ministries.
After class on day one, 5 of us went hiking up on a rock to oversea Lake Kyoga. A beautiful spot!
When Joseph Kony and the LRA swept through the area, many of the locals fled to the island across, to escape the war rebels. Today there is an anglican church on the island.
Here is Pius, he was my co-leader and organizer for the whole training. He did much of the translating for me - into the language of Kumam.
Fisherman work hard to bring in the catch of the day.
