We are staying with friends in the compound at Kiwoko Hospital. Craig Dyer and I are teaching around 600 pastors how to use the Christianity Explored course. We have been here a week. Today the conference ends with a prize giving ceremony for graduates of the Kiwoko Bible School with friends coming from the Kampala Evangelical School of Theology (KEST). Yesterday we also had friends from the Bible Society Uganda here. They have co-sponsored the translation and publication of CE in the Luganda language.
We will use the afternoon to visit the hospital wards and the new maternity unit then pack as we have an early start tomorrow morning. Its a six hour drive north to the Murchison Falls National Park. We are having a 24 hour safari break by Lake Albert getting close up to the wildlife.
On Monday we drive further north about three hours drive to Bweyale nearer the border with Sudan and Congo. A high proportion of the residents in the area are refugees and live in resettlement camps. With the Anglican Bishop of Masindi we will launch the CE course in Swahili. The hope is that those trained will help take CE Swahili into Sudan and Congo as well as Tanzania and Kenya.
Uganda is a country of striking beauty with abright future but with momentous demographic and economic challenges ahead. With God's help, The Church of Uganda, with its schools and hospitals, as in Kiwoko, will help its people realise their full potential, to the glory of God and the entension of his kingdom.
