Greetings from Uganda! We are having Internet problems at the hotel and today I am only able to get online with my phone. So, this post will be short one.
What a day! We concluded our teaching, reviewed the material with them, and now we are ready for them to do teach-backs tomorrow. The discussions that we had, their questions, and their thoughts and ideas, showed me that these 16 men and women really understand what it means to lead like Jesus.
To top it off, we had the most moving "foot washing" activity that I've ever experienced. Luke and I decided early on that we would wash their feet. So, I arranged for a basin, water, and towel to be provided for us. At the very end, Luke explained what we were going to do and the significance of it and then we took turns washing and drying their feet. I think it really surprised them to see the both of us on our knees washing their feet. I don't think there was a dry eye in the room and just as we were washing the last person's feet, they starting singing and hugging us and each other. We must have worshipped like this for a good 30 minutes or so.
What a day!!
We met with Pastor Daniel this evening and jointly laid out our strategy for the next Three years.
Hopefully, I'll be able to access the Internet with my iPad vs cellphone.
Thanks for your prayers and words of encouragement.
Blessings!
