Well, I am now in Naluko, Uganda, in what seems to be the middle of Uganda, far away from the cities. But first, I’ll tell you about the final day of the conference.
There was a morning teaching session by a man named Andrew, an American, who is considering moving his family to Uganda. He did a very good job. After that, we had a time of communion and worship. It was a blessed time for everyone. We then broke for lunch and for everyone to say their goodbyes and head home. I would say that, of all four of these conferences, this was the best, but without Debbie with me, it wasn’t the same. I look forward to returning next year WITH Debbie.
We then drove for a couple of hours to the present location. It is really off the beaten path. It is a medical compound connected with the church here. It is surrounded by villages and village life. We arrived in the late afternoon, and it was just beautiful, with a cool breeze blowing and gorgeous cloud formations. There are very nice quarters for guests and staff. The room has a mosquito net over the bed (although I do not believe I have seen a mosquito this whole trip) and a nice modern bathroom/shower. I had my first full night’s sleep since my last night before traveling here. Today we walked through the village to the site of Calvary Chapel Naluko. Wow, walking down paths and past huts and small brick houses and being greeted by so many people, especially children, was a wonderful experience. After about 20 minutes we arrived at the church, where a group of young people were cleaning off the plastic chairs for tomorrow’s morning service. I was told that there may be 200 in attendance, and nearly as many kids. I am looking forward to it.
I was able to change my homeward flight today when there was a clear wifi signal, so I will leave Entebbe on Tuesday morning as planned, but after the layover at the Doha airport in Qatar, I will fly straight to Seattle, not having to connect in Los Angeles. Praise the Lord for that!
OK, thanks again for the prayers. Keep them going!
Blessings,
David
Great you were able to get a direct flight home. How wonderful you are considering video taping your messages for these young pastors! Mom and I continue praying for you.
What a loaded fast moving schedule! I have read all your posts but missed what had occurred with Debbi regarding her visa application. You are helping so many, we are proud to call you our pastor sir. Pray your health and security are always stable, and that the Lord guides your journey.
Thanks you once more for keeping us informed on how things are going. We are excited to hear how god is answering our prayers, and we will continue to pray.
Thank you for the great update. We’re glad the conference went well. It was interesting to hear about the trip to Naluko and how different it is there. That’s great that you got a better flight home. You are in our prayers.
