May 7 ......



Ministry Partners,
Today was a VERY long but ever so interesting a day. From 10am until 6pm about 300 guests were able to witness the Coronation service of a Bishop, I’m not sure what one is like in the states but I can tell you the Ugandan people and those from the neighboring countries of Sudan, Kenya and Rwanda made it a celebration to remember. There was a worship time to begin and there were speakers from each country and then a delicious buffet meal was served about 2pm. That was followed by testimonials, a pastor singer and dancers from Kenya and pastor singers from Rwanda ending with a short speech by the new Bishop who was thereafter referred to as Reverend Bishop. Before closing the festivities Foursquare Pastor John and the new Reverend Bishop cut a beautiful 4 tiered cake that was quite delicious. Once cut the cake was "chopped" in pieces piled onto a plate with with it passed for everyone to take a piece until the plate was empty, when another full plate continued to pass to those eagerly waiting.
A cake for the new Reverend Bishop
Tomorrow is a busy day with meeting with the Prison Service authorities, Obtaining those beautiful Bibles from the Uganda Bible Society as well as having a meeting with some of the visiting pastors.

Please continue to pray for us as we gear up for ministry.

That none would be lost,
    Arlene
