t is the morning of Monday, July 18 and we are at the resort on Lake Victoria outside of Entebbe, Uganda. We had a great trip here. On the flight from Dubai to Entebbe, we were on the same plane as the group from CC San Juan Capistrano in California. There were 17 of them. Most will be leaving today for missions work in other parts of Uganda. Upon landing, we waited until all 55 bags came through, including many crates of supplies for VBS and other endeavors. We loaded it all into a large van, then we all piled into 3 other vans for the ride to the hotel. We drove for a while on a paved road, then about 5 minkes down a dirt road until we came to this beautiful spot on the shores of Lake Victoria. We all met for dinner then off to bed. We slept surrounded by a mosquito net, but it was very comfortable and cool.

This morning we met in the cafeteria for coffee, breakfast, and a time of devotions. We are really enjoying the people we’re here with, so much fun and full of energy! We’ve also met a few of the pastors and wives, but most will arrive later this morning. So many stories and experiences we’ve already heard.

Thanks for all the prayers! We are having a good time and look forward to a wonderful week.
Please comment and let us know you’re reading the blog.

More tomorrow or tonight, we’ll see how the day goes.

This week we are getting prepared for the trip to Uganda. Actually, we’ve been preparing for the last several weeks: Uganda visa, medications specifically for visiting Africa, putting together the 5 teachings I will present, correspondence with the organizers, and more. Debbie doesn’t usually travel with me, but we are both glad for this opportunity for us!

We simply ask that you keep us in your prayers. We leave Friday and will return Monday, July 25. I will be blogging throughout, so check back within he next week.

My only regret is that I will miss visiting with Pastor Tung from Vietnam, who will be at CCS on Sunday, the 17th. Hopefully, I will see him in Vietnam in the near future.

Blessings,

David

It is mid-June, and I have so much going on in the next few months.

Next month, Debbie and I will be traveling to Entebbe, Uganda in order to participate in a retreat for pastors and wives from East African nations. It will be our first visit to Africa (well, in 1985 I did visit Egypt, technically on the continent but so much different from where we’ll be) and we are looking forward to it.

Shortly after returning, I will be going to Havana, Cuba. It is not a ministry trip per se, but I hope to make contact with a couple of pastors in the area of Havana.

If you’ve seen the link here, you also know that we have a tour of the Holy Land planned for October 24-November 3. I hope you can join us. Take a look at the video on this site!

In the meantime, there are so many activities with family and friends and at CC Silverdale. Life is full and God is good!

Blessings to you all,

David
