At the Window

A big part of our missionary journeys to Uganda are the children. We haven't planned it that way it just happens. The children are everywhere. They are at the window and they are waiting at the door. They are in your lap and they go with you everywhere. To be in the villages and visiting the Christians of Uganda is to be up to your armpits in children. When you return from there you of course bring them with you in your heart. Many of them are children alone. There are over one million aids orphans in Uganda alone. Sadly, aids is once more on the rise in Uganda. This is largly due to the war in the North of the country where rape of children is practiced by the LRA as a form of terrorism. These are hard realities. I would of course prefer to report from the mission field good news. There certainly is plenty of good news to tell as well. I will get to that on other posts. But, evil cannot tolerate the light of publicity. Publicity of terrorism is the tool that we have to use against it and so, as much as we may not be edified by the truth, we in good conscience must share. Please pray for peace and political stability for Uganda.
