How Can I Keep From Singing?

How Can I Keep From Singing? Today, our last day to visit Kawete, actually began with a trip to the Lutheran Theological College of Uganda. As we arrived, chapel was just ending but we were blessed with the sound of the seminarians singing for us. They sang two Lutheran Hymns and one song in a local language, Lusoga. It was just beautiful. The team joined Pastor Ken in his class and answered some questions from his students. When we finally arrived in Kawete, there was a lot of time to enjoy the children. We ended our time in Kawete with a teacher meeting!  These are the hardest working teachers we know! See you again in March 2020!!!!!! We love you so much!

Pictures Are Worth A Thousand Words

Pictures Are Worth A Thousand Words (especially when the day was wonderfully long...) We are just now returning to the motel from a day filled with joy. Pastor Ken taught at the seminary, Julie visited a different village and had some important meetings with the church and the 3 medical professionals provided much needed care to the old and young in the medical clinic.  The rest of the team: visited every classroom with special notes/pictures from CCLS-St. Louis Students distributed cross-shaped rulers to remind the students that they are  "Loved Beyond Measure!" Girls' and Boys' Dormitories Bible Studies Days for Girls Distribution The day ended with a beautiful rainbow over the school compound! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME! ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!

What a Day! Welcome to Kawete...the children greeted us with waving of branches, singing and drumming! Their faces were welcoming JOY as we took our first steps off of the bus. After a brief tour of the compound, we were blessed with  entertainment and introductions of staff. These children capture our hearts every time we visit. It may be their eyes! We visited George and Karim's home in the village! Christine, their mother, was so thrilled to have us visit and showed us their modest compound. Karim surprised us with his entrepreneurial idea: He built a shelter for and purchased ducks to raise and sell. His goal is to earn enough money for school supplies for himself and his brother, George. Thank you God for these beautiful people and the country they love. We are overwhelmed by their compassion and generosity.
