Please pray today - specifically for our follow up training for those leaders from partner churches who came back in May. We are having a one day seminar today for two purposes: to get the Ugandans who came re-acquainted with the Person of Jesus study itself, and to encourage and challenge them once again to own it, take it into their churches, and begin using it with others. I've been told by a few Ugandans since arriving that they remember the course and were impacted by it. One lady mentioned how excited she was and how she has been sharing it since May. That's encouraging.
On another note - I met with the General Secretary of the Baptist Union of Uganda on Wednesday - the meeting could not have gone better. He was excited about the vision of seeJesus, he agreed about the need of the church to learn "becoming the gospel" in addition to believing it. Discipling and resourcing are two passions of his. Starting here in Mbale, and seeing how churches engage and respond, will be the testing ground to see how to potentially take it to other areas of BUU churches in the country. Pray for a relationship with him to grow from here.
