Blogging is a new experience for us but we wanted to keep our friends and prayer partners informed as we travel to Mbale, Uganda and back via London, U.K. This is Saturday morning in Houston but the posting time on this blog will be Uganda time. We are excited and taxing our brains as we work to get our stuff organized and try to remember all the important things that we have to do. Pat expects to work in the clinic at the orphanage. Bekah will work with about 8 others on our team in organizing the 4,000 library books that have just arrived for the orphanage and Christian school. That will include teaching the children how to use this new library. She and Pat will also be the photographers so that you can see some of what we see. I will be spending time with the leadership of CBIT (Covenant Bible Institute of Theology). We are setting up a 501(3)c non-profit corporation in the USA to support the school and provide communication and coordination with the board and leaders of CBIT in Uganda. We expect to recruit and send seminary teachers, pastors and other teachers to CBIT to teach short courses. This is a college level, three year school with three teachers with Masters degrees, and sixty students. There are many more applicants to the school but the number of students is limited by the facility space and number of staff.
