Happy Easter


Thanks for staying with us. Sorry that it has been a few days since our last post. Our internet is by mobile modem and we have to keep loading more “time” onto it. This has been a very busy week so we have not had time to get into the mall to get it done. Today we were caught in “the jam” big time- we were literally not moving an inch for close to a half hour. We were only about 300 meters from the mall so Lorenda decided to run to the mall to get the internet time and then run back to the car in the jam. It was a good idea except for the fact that this occurred in the middle of the worst downpour we’ve had since we arrived- dripping hair, dripping shirt, orange water running down the streets to mid-calf, BUT we got the internet time and can communicate with you!
Well it is Easter week and it is a real celebration here (as it should be). On Monday and Tuesday evenings there was revival meetings at Watoto Central. Over 1000 people attended each of these services. Wednesday night all the cells (small groups) meet and on Thursday evening there is a huge praise rally that several thousand will attend. They have started putting up a huge screen (I think) and a sound system in the parking lot because the church only holds 1500 people and they will need room for 3-4 times that many people.
Friday evening many of the churches have joined together for Night to Unite. An outdoor service that will be held at one of the universities- I don’t know how many people they are expecting, but I am sure there will be many.
We pray that you have a blessed Easter as you celebrate the resurrection of our Saviour.

    1. Thanks Karen. We are so privileged to have so many people journeying with us. The praise rally was amazing last night- 4 hours of rockin' Watoto worship! Can't wait to see what tonight will be like.
