The first weekend we went to an Anglican Church service which was amazing. It is so cool to dance and clap and stomp in worship and then the Ugandans all whisper their prayers at the same time. The pastor had us stand up then he said, “Welcome from Obama’s land!” (Needless to say, everyone is OBSESSED with Obama).
Each morning someone leads us in an hour of devotions. We sing and dance, then read the Bible, discuss, pray etc. You cannot imagine the wisdom and faith of the Ugandans here. I am in constant awe of their knowledge of God and the words they use to describe Him. The Empower-a-Child employees, volunteers, and friends are so faithful, humble, and thankful. I have a lot to learn so it is such a fun time to listen and have God open my heart and mind.
Our second Sunday we went to KPC – Kampala Pentecostal Church- and it felt so American, just like Saddleback or New Venture, with huge screens, movies, etc. The pastor is an American named Gary Skinner. An English woman shared an amazing message with us about having and “After you” spirit.
We visited a gaudy Catholic church in the middle of the city and we are going to go to mass next Sunday.
