I said I would try to introduce you to some of the people I hope to meet in Uganda.

This is Seb Allwright. In our prayer diary, 'Pray For Africa', Seb's work is described as 'encouraging young people to live for God'. In his prayer letter he refers to it in terms of 'discipleship' on three levels: his 'own personal growth and discipleship, discipleship of those working for the discipleship of the young people in schools (Patrons and Chaplains) and discipleship of the young people themselves'. He goes on to define 'discipleship' like this:

Empowering, encouraging, equipping and educating involving a variety of different methods (teaching, preaching, mentoring, small groups, Bible studies etc) with the aim of people having a personal, intimate, fruitful walk with Jesus.

What a brilliant description and what a fantastic work to be involved in. I'm looking forward to spending time with Seb and meeting the young people he works with. He's also invited me to attend a one-day workshop for the Patrons and Chaplains. Here's a photo of a previous workshop.
