My daughter (26) has been on two mission trips to Uganda. They have some wonderful Christians there. She spent her time in a small village (Homia) and some of them had never seen white people. The people were very friendly and my daughter’s group even baptized some of them in a hotel swimming pool in another town. They were so excited. Their “church” was a thatched roof over a concrete slab and I would venture to say their worship was more sincere than in some of our most beautiful stained-glass megachurches. I believe God will bless their country. My daughter and I are friends on FB with some of those she met while there. They are very dedicated in their beliefs and love learning. Of course, islam is gaining a foothold as well. Islam never rests.
That's because Satan never rests.
On a more hopeful note, the fact that this used to be Idi Amin's Uganda gives hope for the rise of an America that will look back and consider Barack Obama's America to be a very bad memory.
Our Parish is “twinned” with a parish in Uganda. We receive regular visits from their representatives and several of our Parishioners and 2 of our Priests have visited St. Paul’s. We have built them a high school, and have donated vestments and altar accoutrements to their priests. We’ve also bought pigs and sewing machines for people in the village who have had no other means of support. We sell goods that they make in our gift shop.
They are wonderful people and good Christians.
A friend of mine has traveled to Uganda on missionary work on several occasions...wonderful people. This is great news...
What’s the water like? How is public health situation, generally?
