Sunday July 4th 2010

Today the team travelled to True Vine to witness and participate in Sunday's celebrations. It is always a moving experience to see how the Africans worship and praise God.
Larry and I travelled to Mumutumba and preached. Pastor Jessica had lunch prepared for us, but we told her we must go to Butacho to preach as well. After preaching and singing Pastor Justin asked us to stay for a glass of water which turned out to be lunch. We ate with Pastor justin and his wife and then went back to Mumutumba to have lunch with Pastor Jessica. Larry and I were stuffed. We rolled out of there at 3pm heading for Tororo Hospital and the team.
We met with them in the men's ward. We prayed over all the men with many accepting Christ. We then moved onto the childrens ward which I knew would be very emotional. We saw one baby with this huge head wound which the doctor said was malnutrition. It is way too graphic to put a picture on the blog, but I tell you. It brought us to tears. We are looking into moving the child and mother to a better hospital and away from this free public hospital. The next young child has Aids and is terminal. It is so sad to see this child just waiting to die.
On this special day of July 4th and all the celebrations going on at home and here we are seeing such suffering of innocent children.
