PRAYER CARD #10

ACTIVITIES OF A SATURDAY NIGHT

Steve contacted me through the internet this morning! He arrived at a different hotel in Mbale and as there was internet access, he hit it right away. We chatted on msn for about half an hour. This hotel, he says, offers wooden floors, hot water and electricity (it went off just once). He was so happy!

Saturday the team helped out again at the AIDS clinic, and afterwards they drove 45 minutes out to "Nowhere" for the crusade. Steve was pumped about the crusade, saying people (children, old people, women) walked 5-10 miles to attend, and then in the pitch black night would walk the 5-10 miles back home (sans flashlights). Steve described the crusade as an outdoor event on a raised wooden platform with speakers and a generator. He said that the music was provided by a keyboard with an electronic drum beat, and they danced for hours!

As the team returned to Mbale they were invited to speak on the radio so Steve got to go live in Uganda. How cool. At the AIDS clinic Steve was asked to talk on "spiritual health" and after the crusade was invited to preach at church tomorrow. How wonderful!

On Monday the team will return to Kampala, but only after taking in some mountain climbing, visiting the source of the Nile and stopping in on another church. I look forward to hearing how all that goes.
