NATIONAL MEETING

This years national meeting for Ugandan church leaders was held in Mbale. A group of men travelled by themselves and represented the Fort Portal churches.
Bright was one of the men who made the long journey across the country to attend the meeting.

They road on public transport from Fort Portal to Kampala and then to Mbale. Two of men who were supposed to go did not show up, so the group waited nearly two hours for them. It is a good thing that they were patient and waited because the first bus that they had planned to take was robbed!
Dick led the group. Here he is all dressed up.

They had a great time at the meeting! This was the first one that I did not go to myself. Ronald and David wanted us to give the opportunity to some of the other leaders.

May the Lord raise up men and women who are willing to serve and have the attitudes of Christ Jesus.

You must feel a sense of fatherly pride in watching these men take leadership. You have some great guys working with you, and I know God will continue to bless the work there.
I'm proud of you for stepping back and giving them this opportunity for growth. You are a special guy!
Love you,
Mom
