November in a Nutshell

It's not just another month that has come to a close, but the school year is wrapping up. Last Friday, the university students made their way to Pastor Jimmy and Phionah's home, where Moses roasted pork for 5 hours. :)

It was a great evening of fellowship, games, recognitions, celebrations, and of course, eating.

Each student was gifted a book and a small gift while much joy was experienced.

Moses was able to take one of our good friends, Adrian Agazzani, with him to do radio ministry in Kitgum. 

A few weeks ago, Moses traveled to Jinja for an urban missions workshop. He went into the slums and did ministry amongst extremely poor people living at the source of the Nile River. 

One Sunday night I made 12 batches of popcorn while hosting 27 people for a movie night.

The Passion of the Christ, an oldy but a goody. Many youth were brought to tears that night. 

He paid an incredible price for us!

I was sick once again, earlier in the month. I couldn't keep food down for a few days and ended up going for intravenous injection/treatment. It took a while, but I have my strength back now.

A good friend of ours, Okello James Peter, graduated with a diploma in civil engineering. Life's milestones are worthy of much celebration.

And Saturdays and Sundays meant practice for our Christmas drama at church.

The children were delighted to be leading most of the service on December 1. We always celebrate early because we have Christmas with the university students before they travel back to their villages around the country.

The kids did a long drama and 2 dance numbers.

This term, the IGNITE worship night on campus had the theme, God of the Nations, and the praise team dressed up in tribal blankets. The worship was not only joyful, but real! Singing at the feet of Jesus, on campus! Hallelujah.

Every Wednesday I teach a baking club at a local primary school. There are 23 energetic kids learning new recipes. It's completely chaotic, but every kid raves about how much they love the class. This week will be our last session. It will be 2-3 hours and a pizza making day. Each student will receive a cook book of the recipes we made together this term.
