MISSION IS POSSIBLE

OUR VISIT TO A CHURCH PLANT IN PAJULE

Pastor's House in Pajule
Even if the there are no chairs but the Pastor treats us to a warm welcome
We are taken for a tour of the church building, The Pastor donated this land-
 4 acres  to the church, the few church members are now working
on the construction using local materials
This is the church hall. When complete it will house upto 100 people,
The roof will be grass thatched and walls of mud
a good time with kids

OUR VISIT TO THE CHURCH PLANT AT LII

Our Motorbikes that took us to the villages, be careful when you ride them
The Pastor's Houses at Lii
This is the church building for Lii, can seat Approx 70

Rain has been favourable this year, there is plenty of food
Gardens are beautiful and all kinds of food are available
We are taken through paths to tour the village at evening time

An old tradition is still still very much alive here in Lii- every evening from 7pm,
they set fire and the entire family gathers around the fire. Here they would teach
young people on the basics of life and tell them old stories. While all these goes on, they
would be roasting maize or cassava. We ate maize in plenty that night
We roast maize around the fire while the family entertains us to cool worship
using traditional instruments

These are the left overs of our feast for that evening, we will miss the village dearly
Our last morning in Lii, a traditional breakfast made of maize and black tea,
There is no need for a table

THE IBS SEMINAR- GULU TOWN

This is the cooking place for the seminar. On fire you can see some delicasy
donations and local contributions from pastors make their meals possible.
Pastors are poor so they cant affort money but can bring farm proceeds
like beans, maize floor, peanut, etc
we are for breakfast before classes, 2 small pieces of cake and black tea
My colleague does exposition at the start of day
Pastors concentrate in studies and assignments

kilometers to the seminar
