Had a chat with Seb yesterday via Skype to talk over plans for my week in Mbarara. He's got a couple of school visits lined up, with possible participation in CRE lessons and 'Divinity'. The latter is for 'A' level students and is very Christian based. When he discovered I have a theology qualification, he decided to ask the teacher if I could help with the class. That could be interesting; it's over 30 years since I was last teaching in a school classroom.


He also wants me to preach at the school on the Sunday. It's a boarding school, so a bit like chapel in some of our more traditional public schools. The subject is 'Men and Women in Marriage'. Seb is single, so I think he feels I'm better qualified to speak. It should be quite a challenge, but a privilege to be asked.


He's also planning for me to spend a day with Connor Johnston, one of our Synergy (short-term) workers and a group of young men on the 'Abide' discipleship programme. I met Connor at the Synergy Orientation Conference before he went out to Uganda, so it will be good to see him again.

This is Connor on top of Mt Kilimanjaro during a short break from 'Abide'.

More introductions later.
