Being the Sabbath we took a bit of a rest today.  We attended worship services at St. Andrews Cathedral in Mbale where I had and opportunity to preach during their English speaking service.  Personally, this was a lot of fun as the congregation was very warm and engaging and seemed receptive and responsive to the message. Not to mention that there were several firsts for me - first time preaching in a cathedral (Anglican church), first time preaching in an African church and the largest crowd I've had the opportunity to preach to (somewhere around 1,000 people).  For those who were praying for this for me, thank you.

In the afternoon our team was part of a fellowship worship service at the cathedral - except for Max who decided to grab one of the soccer balls he brought and get a game started with the kids in the area.  He learned that a soccer ball is a great way to quickly make many friends!

We were also part of a deliverance service for people caught up in demonic witchcraft activity.  This was something new for our team to experience and very powerful.  Demonic activity can be very intense throughout Uganda and especially in the area we were today.

Tomorrow we're off to do some outreach in public schools in the Mbale area.

Thank you for your ongoing prayers for us!
