We had asked to see God at work each day and this first week in Uganda has been incredible in that aspect.
We arrived to attend a FOCUS Uganda conference for over 200 university Christian student leader from all over Uganda. We were reunited with our Global Issues Internship partners: Peter and Andrew, Vincent, Michael and Uncle Sam.
We have been traveling with Uncle Sam (FOCUS training secretary- second from left) visiting Kampala campuses to see what God is doing. Did you know that on Ugandan campuses Christian Unions compose 10-30% of the student body? One campus we visited on Thursday has a CU of 300 out of 800 students.
We got to spend an afternoon with Esther and Christian, who were Ugandan students on the Global Internship. Because of the summer mission they are now both planning to serve with FOCUS next year in campus ministry as STEM (Short Term Experience in Ministry) for graduates.
We have seen Peter a few times and spoke with Saul and Rogis over the phone (other FOCUS student) They are well.
At the FOCUS conference, we met a couple from south Boston who work with FOCUS Uganda in caring for staff, John and Cindy Norton. They are part of a "finishers" program through CBA which places retired couples with missions opts.
