The Outpost

Storms continue to come here weather wise in Uganda, but only in the evenings.  Today we had a great taste of what those rains do on the dirt roads in the bush.  At one point I thought we might be pushing, but we made it.  We travelled to the region of Tegote today and specifically the village of sp?  Kucheckay.  Met with the church and the ladies did a few songs for the kids and I preached a sermon.  Here in Uganda one typically has 15 min or less to know they are going to preach sometimes….but that is what we are here for so we stay ready.  We then travelled to see another church in a village that I cannot remember the name.  We came back some for naps and some for an excursion to the market.  I had a standing meeting to speak to the medical student fellowship here in GULU.  All of their worship songs were in English and they all understood it very well so it was a breath of fresh air.  I challenged them as those God by God and blessed by the government to go to school to study medicine to be diligent and serve God while they do their studies.  I challenged them to think beyond GULU, beyond Uganda, and even the African continent and consider a vision to change the world.  We had a great rapport and great time together.  It was really an inspiring time and I enjoyed it immensely.  I considered it a great privilege to speak to this specific group.  what a blessing they were.  Tomorrow we’ll be at Gulu Community Church with our host pastor, Pastor George Jubilani at his church.  We’ll be present for two services and I’ll get to preach in each of the services.  Cynthia and I are praying for Chris Cheline as he teaches the Outpost and I am grateful for Brett’s teaching of last week.  Grateful to have people step up and teach.  Pray the Lord is richly blessing your life and you are doing all you can to walk with him.  For the praise of his glory……
