Seaside Africa Mission

Saturday, July 11, 2009

Today was another great day in Uganda. I went on a 5 hour drive to Lake Victoria on dirt and muddy roads (we had a huge rainstorm yesterday) to dedicate a new boat, so True Vine can administer to the islands. The village we were in had never seen white people before so some were stand-offish and others were very friendly. The children were in rags. Being on the coast the village had a lot of fishing boats on the beach while others were out fishing with nets.

Gene, Eric and Robyn and a few others from the team went to visit Tororo Hospital with Pastor Eric. The hospital is basically a place you go to die as it is nothing like a hospital in the US. Very little medicine or nusing staff. The family has to supply bed linen and meals for the patient.

Tonight we had a farewell feast at True Vine. Great food and great music with Pastor Aggrey thanking us for the visit and assistance the team made in Tororo.
It is sad to know that this is our last night in Uganda. This trip has been extremely fruitful because, after explaining my vision for the men and the to see them embrace it. The men are hungry to find out more and how the bible tells us how to love our wives and children. Now I just have to find men's groups in various churches back in the US to assist. I am sure that God will see to it.
