Uganda 2011

Soroiti Uganda was an amazing journey. After flying in to Entebbe we drove an hour to Kampala were we stayed the night. Early in the morning we left to Soroiti 6 hour drive. What a long but enlightening drive. As we travelled I got to look into the eyes of the people. Their ingenuity was mixed with their antiquity. It was like driving through a time machine backwards (in a good way). I saw whole families including the little ways working in the fields. Mothers carried their babies in clothes wrapped around their waist digging, sowing seed and pumping water.  We arriving to Soroiti the pastors there had been waiting for us for almost 5 hours. Some had travel great distances by foot and bicycle to get there. It was hot so if you see the sweat pouring down my after 8 hours of teaching oh well. The booklets we handed out to each pastor got filled up to the point that many had to find more paper to write on. Equipping is part of the h2mission statement so this conference put us moving in the right direction. There is such a need across the globe for church leaders to be equipped so they can equip, so the gospel can go forth and the kingdom can advance.
