This course has been absolutely excellent…but we are now at capacity! We have taken on board and inwardly digested a huge amount of material over our 10 weeks here and it has been great! Two weeks back I was nearly converted to being a development project manager! We spent 2 full days in small groups pouring over large sheets of flip chart paper,’ post-it’ notes and log frames working out how to plan and execute a ‘children at risk’ development project in Burundi. (It has inspired me to maybe try and develop a more coherent structure for the education project we will be involved with in Ibanda, Uganda…) Aside from his studying… Andy has also enjoyed a taste of victory on the All Nations footie team and was even awarded the prestige award of ‘man of the match’!
Overall, it is difficult to summarise our experience here – suffice to say that we both feel more equipped practically, more affirmed in our call to go and now ready to face the challenge of settling into Ugandan culture, with the Lord as our guide.
Thank you for your prayers during this period. Please pray that we’d be able to adjust to the transition of leaving college and going between family and friends during the holidays. Please also pray for Sunday 7th December – we are speaking at St Mary’s Church, Radcliffe on Trent and also at ‘Nightbridge’ (Holy Trinity’s youthgroup).
