Road to the Wanale-a'Sunrise' Painting

The Wanale is a mountainous area between Uganda and Kenya overlooking the plain stretching all the way to lake Victoria. Below the Wanale to the West is Mbale Town where April and I have spent considerable time and also a place where we have a number of friends. The population of the Wanale is largely Muslim. North of Mbale is a new Muslim university. There is considerable tension in the area between the Christians and the Muslims. April and I have on two separate trips been participants in evangelism campaigns in the Wanale. The Wanale is a magnificent plateau with towering cliffs and during the rainy season a place with many waterfalls. On our last rip into the Wanale we were to preach at a church on top. Our vehicle broke down about half way up and we had to walk in the last straight up three miles or so. It was very hot on the way in and we walked out in a downpour.
