CCC – Namyoya Campus

We attended church in Namyoya today. The people of Namyoya hold an extremely lively service. Pastor David preached in Lugunda (the local language) and Pastor Henry interpreted. Pastor David taught from Psalm 126, Daniel 6, and Revelation 2. His main message was about trust and being trustworthy. He was so thankful for the roof on the church and the home being built for him. He said that they have been praying to God and trusting in God and their prayers are being answered.

I made a little friend in church. Donna didn't quite make it through the whole service.

The folks in Namyoya have so little yet still give what they have to the church.

At the end of the service, the people of Namyoya sacrificed a goat for us and then gave us gifts that included sugar cane, bananas, eggs, and a gourd.

We then headed to see the family Dan Clark sponsors. The roads to her home are awful.

One thing I noticed since being here is that whenever we walk down a road, a couple children will start following us and before you know it, we look like a small parade. The children here are priceless.

This is where they get their water to drink and for eveything else.

The people greeted us with singing and waving branches. The children sang and danced for us.

Dan’s family was so appreciative. Thy showered him with gifts that included a chicken, rugs, and a basket. Getting a chicken is a very important gift and one that they would be very proud to give. The chicken is running around outside our house right now.

We will be heaing to Fort Portal tomorrow to play soccer against the High School and then on to Kamwenge. I am so excited that on Tuesday, I get to met the family that my family sponsors.

It will be an overnight trip with no Internet access so the next blog post will be Tuesday.
