Well, we have come to our last day here in Uganda. What a great day it was! We toured Bethany Village today. Bethany stands as a model of a self-sustaining community for other communities to study and replicate. They have a church, school, medical clinic, chicken houses, a piggery, and many agricultural projects just to name a few of their programs. There are approximately 145 children living at Bethany with even more attending the school. They are doing amazing things in God's name and changing many lives!
Getting to Bethany was an adventure! We took a boat across part of Lake Victoria and then road Bota Botas (motorcycle taxis) to the village. We even had a refreshing rain while we were there. The cities of Gaba and Kampala looked beautiful from the lake.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but a picture of Uganda couldn't begin to describe how beautiful it is and how amazing its people are. They are hungry to hear the Gospel and eager to learn new and more effective ways to increase God's kingdom. We all have fallen in love with this place! We appreciate your prayers, your encouragement, and your support. It's great to be a part of a church family that lives out its mission of expressing the love of Jesus Christ. We came here to bless and encourage those who are doing God's work. But, in the end we were the ones who were blessed and encouraged.
See you soon Cornerstone. We're on our way home!
