Source of the Nile



HI friends, greetings from Namirembe (hill of peace),

We had a refreshing and light programme yesterday after the emotionally shattering day we had on Monday. We drove two hours outside Kampala to Jinja to see the source of the Nile. It was a refreshing experience. Enjoyed the beauty of creation.

Proceeded to a Catholic Church in Jinja, from outside it does not look like a Chuch. It is a book shop and restaurant, we have to walk through the restaurant to enter the beautfull church. We worshiped with the congregation in their lunch time service. Afterwards the vicar joined us for lunch.

In the evening we visited the Ugandan Martyrs Shrine just outside Kampala along withthe Seminery. 23 Ugandans were killed by the order of the King, the youngest being only 14 years old, and recently the principal of the seminery was killed by the rebels.

The highlight of the day was that our supervisor and Vicar of Henbury was seen glittering in the sun after using sparkling suncream on himself.

Today we visited three schools, one private and two in the slums. We had about 45 minutes in each, singing songs and sharing the goodnews.

Take care, more later! Will appreciate your prayers and encouragements.

About Us

REVOLUTION NOT EVOLUTION! BS10 (Brentry and Henbury) Context Profile In BS10 we are asking the question, “What does it mean to be a Missional Community?” Through Prayer, Theological reflection, Worship and Action we in the power of the Holy Spirit, are trying to answer that question as we are seeking to transform every aspect of church life from a traditional maintenance-based model to a missional faith community. We work Contextually, by which we mean that we are listening hard to the voice of the culture in which we live, and Incarnationally, which means listening to the eternal voice of the Living God who calls people into community to worship and to make real the promises of the Kingdom. These provide merely an outline or overview of the work we have been doing since September 2006. The BS10 area, offers significant opportunities to be a part of a church community that is radically reshaping and reforming what it means to be church. It is definitively a work in progress and not for the faint-hearted! Nevertheless we’d encourage anyone exploring the idea of CBT to think about sharing this unique experience. Hands on? Yes - Challenging? Absolutely! Up for it? Over to you
