It has been a significant few days for Craig and I.

First of all on Friday I was able to make an annoucement to the Annual Brethen Conference (a four day conference bringing together Reverends and their congregations from all over the Diocese of Kigezi) that the english version of the Sunday School Curriculum was finally available.  It was a great priviledge to be able to encourage the Church of the developments there have been in Sunday School Ministry, firstly in the number of Sunday school teachers that had been trained over the last few years and also to highlight the distribution of the Sunday School Curriculum.  I'm yet to get the final numbers of curriculum sold over the weekend but we think it will be around 150 copies - which is fantastic!  The next challenge is to continue the process of having the curriculum translated into Rukiga ready for next years conference.

On the Saturday I joined the children to do some teaching, along with Patience.  This year's theme was Colossians 3:17 '  so I 'stole' the idea of WWJD and we made braclets out of paper and masking tape.  You can see some of the children have them on in the photo.


Then on Sunday we had our first official meeting of the Board for the Bakiga Community Project.  It was great to finally get everyone together.  After sharing lunch we went through the formalities of appointing the management committee and approving the constitution.  It was a successful meeting and a significant step on the road to becoming an NGO.  Craig and Emmy will soon travel to Kampala with all the paperwork - watch this space for developments and please do pray, it is is not an easy process.
