It is hard to believe I have come to the last week of my 5
months of ministry in Uganda. Over the course of the next few weeks I hope to
post some thoughts and reflections, but for now I would appreciate your prayers
for a fruitful final week here. Here
is a rundown of the events of my last week in Uganda…
Today (Saturday, June 8): I am very excited that this afternoon
I will be having my first taste of a “big-time” African athletic event. I will
go with two Sixty Feet interns and some ABU staff and students to a World Cup
qualifier football match between the Uganda Cranes (the Ugandan national team)
and the Liberian national team at Namboole (a.k.a. Mandela National Stadium)
here in Kampala.
Sunday (June 9): My last Sunday worshipping at Gateway
Bible Church in Bwerenga. I will have the opportunity to share one last time
with these wonderful folks who have been my church family here in Uganda for
the past 5 months. I also will be taking a new friend of mine from Japan named
Jun, a visiting lecturer in banking and economics at ABU. Then I will also
preach at the afternoon service at the South Sudanese church of one of my
students at ABU.
Monday and Tuesday: I am speaking at a Youth and
Children's Ministry Conference at ABU for 200+ Ugandan church and para-church
ministry leaders.
Wednesday through Friday: I hope to spend time with the Sixty
Feet Staff and make a last trip or two to visit the children in the facilities
where we work.
Saturday: I will be doing some teaching and
training with the elders, deacons and other ministry leaders at Gateway Bible
Church in Bwerenga during the day, then Pastor Boaz will take me to the airport
to begin the journey home.
Thanks to all
who have prayed, supported, and encouraged Andrea and the girls and me during these
past five months.
Tim
