Everyday in uganda, I seem to have the pleasure of meeting another bishop. in fact I have met more bishops in the last 5 days than I have in previous 26 years of my existence, including a random encounter on Kampala street with the bishop of Toronto.
We have now conducted five interviews with more to come on friday and already have a couple of really good candidates. The busy scheduele has seen us travel 140 miles north to Soroti where on sunday morning Robert preached and I led worship, then back to Kampala, then yesterday we drove 8 hours to the south of uganda and are joined by eighty clergymen and more bishops for a conference on islam. The countryside here is stunning and later this week we will be treking up a mountain which we are all looking forward to.
It has been a pleasure to be with so many amazing men of God and encouraging for our own work with muslims to meet many believers from muslim backgrounds. The is a real battle happening here with the spread of Islam but God is raising up people who are full of compassion for reaching their muslim neighbors.
