I am in Bangor near Belfast for a few days with some very special people - Craig Dyer of Christianity Explored, John McDowell of the Presbyterian Church, John Doherty of the Bible Society Northern Ireland and Jim McAnlis of the Church Mission Society Ireland.We are here to meet with Shadrach and Nora Luwago of Kiwoko Hospital, Luwero, Uganda, to progress the translation and publication of Christianity Explored in Swahili.
The hope is to launch the new translation in Bweyle, Northern Uganda, in January 2010 at a conference for pastors and church leaders to help equip churches in Uganda but also Tanzania and Kenya to turn pagans into missionaries.
John and Pamela McDowell share about their enthusiasm for Christianity Explored. Pauline Whan shares her experience of introducing CE to churches in Togo in West Africa.
Bangor has played an historic role in world evangelisation. Comgall founded a monastery here in 558 AD. One of his disciples Columbanus travelled from Bangor to France, Switzerland and Italy to evangelise and found monasteries. Read more here
