July 22 - A day with friends



Ministry Partners,

What a fun day.

It was nice to have a slow start today and we did not have to be on the road Today our Rwanda ministry pastor partners traveled from Rwanda to Uganda to meet and have lunch with us.

They arrived about 10 although they came from Kigali at around 6. We are at a town only about 20 minutes from the border.
Those traveling were: Pastor Innocent, Pastor Zebedee, Pastor Julianne, Pastor Andrew, Pastor Jerome and his wife of one week Noel, Bishop Alexis and then from Uganda: Pastor Aaron, Pastor Geoffrey, Alfred and myself. 

After introductions we had each person present, including the Ugandan pastors tell how they are their families were doing. It was wonderful to hear that some had added babies of their own and others had grandchildren added. Then the discussion went to how the prison ministry was doing as well as working with the ever changing government.

I shared my thoughts toward them and appreciated their coming followed by Pastor Innocent giving a brief devotional leading to communion.

Everyone enjoyed the catered lunch buffet followed by everyone going around the circle to lead in a song or share some scripture for over an hour. What sweet fellowship it was for everyone involved.

The pastors were given booklets, ink pens, ties and scarves and Arlene was blessed with a Mother's wedding gift from Jerome and Noel.
 

At 4:30 Alfred drove the Rwandan contingency the 20 minutes to the border so they could catch a ride home. 

That none would be lost,
Arlene
