I’m home! I love being in Africa, and I love being home. It’s a good set-up.
The picture below is from our TLI Expository team retreat the week before I flew to Uganda. We worked on Biblical narrative and law teaching labs for our students. We absorbed all the wisdom we could in several hours with Dr. John Soden.
After our retreat I flew to Entebbe, Uganda, and then took a 6 hour van ride to Tororo near the border of Kenya for our first week of training.
The students were attentive and ready to learn. One of the best inaugural trainings I’ve had.
Here’s the Uganda team. We took an hour long detour to the source of the Nile / Lake Victoria, on our way to Tororo. Cool hat, Barney Fife!We met at the Hope4Kids boarding school science building. We began with 42 students and ended with 42. Great start.A new training center for pastors is under construction at the Hope4Kids compound in Tororo. It should be ready for our October trip teaching Course 3 – Narrative. In late August we will return to teach Course 2 – The Story of the Bible.Above shows two bags of cooking coal in transport, and in then background the remnants of the local volcano.
