the team worshipped with pastor johnson's church in the morning. craig preached a really good sermon on obedience. the team enjoyed the worship style (i'm talking full out aerobics here...) and the passion of the ugandan believers.
after lunch they went by a refugee-camp-turned-village - from the way it was described to me, i believe it is the one called barlonyo. i think all of the true IDP (internally displaced person) camps are gone now, thank goodness, but i may be wrong. it is hard to take in what you see at a place like this - these people have been through so much suffering! the team was overwhelmed, i'm sure. kathy spoke to the people, then johnson preached and joseph wrapped things up and offered an altar call. at least two women came forward and said "i want to know your God." praise the Lord!!!
if you are interested in what the people of northern uganda have lived through you can read this. but be encouraged - the region where the team is has been safe for several years.
today (monday), the pastors' conference kicked off and the rest of the team visited a local high school to share the gospel and the testimony of God's grace and faithfulness in their lives. keep praying that He will be glorified in all they say and do.
if you have talked to a member of the team or if you have anything to add, please leave a comment for us!

Gordon and I were thrilled to be abel to talk to John Eckley on the phone Sunday. He was overwhelmed by the events of the last two days and still seemed to be processing everything. We feel so blessed to see God working out His plan for this trip and that our son has found such a wonderful community of believers ar Redeemer. Just imagine the eternal impact of this trip! Praise God for all of the above!
