Conference Wrap Up and Soroti Day 1

Sunday October 7 and Monday October 8

The sunday services at the church were terrific. The platform was filled with new converts from the Crusade and we found some Bibles to purchase and give them a copy each.

The service went from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm.

No meetings on Sunday night so it was good to catch up a bit.

Left for Soroti at about 9:30. It is usually a 1.2 hour drive but because the floods have washed the bridge away we had to take a long route and even then we had to drive through some water covered roads around another bridge that was still standing. Its like northern Aust.

Started straight in at Soroti with the conference and the first night of the crusade saw a smaller crowd but just as large a response. It was amazing. We had been moving around the crowd talking to people about Jesus while the worship was going on and everyone there seemed to be a Christian, but they came forward quickly and there was a large number who were counselled and whose details were recorded.

Jaemin is preaching tonight. It will be a terrific experience for him and when I suggested it he was keen and the Bishop thought it was a good idea.

Sorry for a shortened report. I have to rush for a meeting and the internet cafes (and generally are so slow.

Talk to you soon

Keep praying for us. One more day in Soroti and then Malaba (east of Mbale toward Kenya)
