Uganda trip August 07
Uganda visit August 07
4 of us landed at Entebbe airport, Uganda on the 2nd of August, carrying instruments for the church.
We took 2 acoustic-electric guitars, 2 basses, 3 saxes and a trumpet and amplifiers to suit. We also bought a key board and 2 acoustic guitars in Kampala. The aim was to equip and teach two churches, one south of Kampala and one north of Jinja. Things went better than we expected. The Pastors had invited some local churches to join them and so our visit had impact on 10 churches. We taught and encouraged and prayed for the people and left them with study material and instruments. That brought on a hour of celebratory dancing and singing. They were overwhelmed by the fact that we had bothered to come all the way to see them. (small village churches) We were also overwhelmed by the enthusiastic welcome and the way that God had worked it all out.
Guitar workshop
Horn workshop
Looking forward to seeing what they can do next year and to helping out in other areas. Both are poor villages and both Pastors have a vision to build orphanages.
It was an expensive exercise and it is cheaper to send instruments by airfreight than to carry in so few but the effect we had on those people has had inestimable eternal value. They prefer the giver to the gifts!
A special song

I'm looking forward to working with them again and hearing what they have created.
I bought a great Jazz/worship CD by Isaiah Katumwa in ampala and have been enjoying it ever since. http://www.isaiahkatumwa.com/
