Welcome to our fifth blog!
This time Anne will be sharing her thoughts.
Wednesday
Right from our early devotions, where we celebrated in worship who Jesus is for us and all He has done for us, our hearts were prepared to serve him in this place.
We continued to partner with Jesus centred projects which we believe we have been prompted to support by prayer and the Holy Spirit. This time though, we were in two groups. The first went to FACT to build on the work that had started the day before, bringing practical transformation to the lives of those precious little ones. With money raised for this trip the team was able to furnish another room with beds, mattresses, sheets, blankets, mosquito nets, whilst some of the team painted murals and scripture on the walls.
I was part of the team yesterday who went to Kathy's Centre. It was a privilege to see and hear how a dream to educate local children and support one of the poorest communities through regular HIV testing has become a reality. What an amazing testimony Patrick (Kathy's Centre's in-country manager) shared with us too, it really glorified God. In 2014 he was attacked in his home by men with machetes who left him bleeding from every part of his body. He has fully recovered from the horrific injuries he sustained, many prayed for him and he gives the glory to God.
This evening we had a very enjoyable boat ride where we visited the source of the Nile (Lake Victoria) and even saw a monkey.
We now leave Jinja and head to Kampala for the next leg of our trip. Please do keep the conference in your prayers as we lead 300 pastors and youth pastors on Friday and Saturday.
