Unity in Worship
Posted by Kyle Howerton (Beta Delta Pledge Class, Spring 2012)

Today was another great day in Uganda. We woke up and shared breakfast as a team. It was delicious. We then went to the Arise Africa Secondary School to continue our painting job. Up to this point we have completed one whole schoolroom and today we sanded and primed a second schoolroom. Throughout the rest of this week we will finish up this room. After we finished painting we washed up and shared lunch together.

After lunch we headed out again to do a presentation at the Delta Secondary School. This was by far the biggest school we have been to. There were about 400 kids present.  We sang songs and shared with them skits that portrayed bible stories such as the Good Samaritan. From there we went straight to the village of Bukaleba where members of the Arise Africa International staff had set up an open-air evangelism presentation.  There were so many village kids present. We had a time of praise and worship together. It is so awesome to see people from two different cultures and languages come together in unity to worship one almighty, all-powerful God! There was dancing and joy all around! We presented our skits again here then Nick Price gave a powerful gospel message. Afterwards we headed back to the guesthouse for the night. We relaxed and played card games until dinner. The food was superb like always, making Paula Dean’s cooking seem like it came out of an easy bake oven.

It has been amazing to see how God has worked on this trip. From growing newly planted churches to saving lives for Christ’s kingdom, God is at work here in Uganda. I am so blessed that God has allowed me to take part in what He is doing here. As our final days here in Uganda approach we ask that you would continue to pray for our team and the people of Uganda.
