Uganda at Last!

We made it to Uganda! We spent the last 3 weeks at the branch in Kampala. In the morning we will be leaving for our missionary home in the town of Masaka.This is where we will have our language course in luganda. We wanted to share some pics with you because in the missionary home there will be no high speed internet. Here are some pictures of us working at the branch, attending meetings, and going in the ministry.




The ministry here is wonderful. Everyone here is so humble and pleasant. The ministry is so productive that we've noticed many of the bethelites juggling their busy schedule at Bethel and still manage 3-4 bible studies in the evenings after work, not to mention the long hours they spend in the ministry on the weekends. They have been very good examples for us and have taught us a lot about the culture. One of the pics is Kim with one of the Bethelites and a sister that was baptized just 2 weeks ago. The attendance for the assembly was less than 900 with 18 being baptized. Above is where we attended the meetings and where the assemblies and conventions are held.


There are 60 members in the bethel family and they are a very busy group. For example this is Antron and Rebeca Carraway. They are serving as BIFS (Bethelites in Foreign Service). They are doing very well serving in the English field. Antron is the Cooridinator of the body of elders in his cong. and the overseer of the computer dept at bethel. Oh, did we mention he is from Hartsville, SC? Small world, huh. Just one more picture for now....

Love & Greetings,

Trevor & Kim

Hi,
this is Innocent from uganda. i found it touching to see pics of brothers having a good time in special fulltime service here in uganda. indeed how good it is for brothers to dwell together in unity as they seek first the kingdom.
