I arrived into Entebbe on Thursday afternoon after a 5-hour flight from Dubai. On the shuttle to the hotel were 5 ladies from Australia, who will be working at an orphanage for a week or so. As we got talking, I found that they are Christians who attend a Calvary Chapel!
It is now Friday night here, 10:15 PM. This morning I took a taxi from my hotel in Entebbe to an airfield about 30 minutes away, operated by Mission Aviation Fellowship. I have included a photo of the plane. There were 6 total passengers aboard for the very smooth 45 minute flight to Soroti (which would have been a 6-hour drive!) I disembarked the plane and was so surprised by the cool breezes blowing! The weather is very pleasant. For the first 2 nights I am staying at the home of Dr. Daniel and Rachel Graham. He is the Director of the School of Ministry. I really enjoyed the afternoon. There is an English couple staying in the back house, working with African Inland Missions. We all enjoyed great conversation well into the afternoon. We then went for lunch and I took a jet lag-induced nap!
This evening I led a study at the Men’s Fellowship at the church, where we sat outside and had a nice time of Bible study and discussion for a couple of hours.
So, it was a pretty full first day!
I’ll keep you posted as I have time. Hopefully, every day or so.
Thanks for the prayers!

Just read this to Mom. Thankful your flights were good and how neat meeting the 5 ladies from a Calvary Chapel in Australia. Weather sounds perfect. Also, sounds like your are in such good company. Praying for your safety and health.
Praying for your safety, and that you would be a blessing to those you encourage and minister to.
