Richard (with Bill from UT) picked us up at 9:30 am to go to Dove Church in Wakiso for worship. About halfway there the road was closed. Richard said it was because of the huge accident that occurred during the night. A gasoline tanker collided with a car and turned over spilling gas onto the highway. Many people, including many motorcyclists, stopped and began trying to scoop up the gasoline, . The gasoline ignited resulting in a huge explosion. Thirty nine people were killed and many more injured. An almost incomprehensible accident. Please pray for the people who were injured and for the families of those killed.
Richard took a round-about route and got us to Dove very close to our original schedule. Today was ladies day with the ladies were in charge of the service. They did a great job, including some hilarious skits. Check out the very active worship in the Videos section.
We had lunch at Pastor Davis' house and then headed farther out of town to Pastor Patrick's mission church in Namayumba.
Many of the congregation at Namayumba stayed around after worship this morning to welcome us and worship with us. This was a very different experience from Dove. There is no electricity, so their only instruments were drums and a soda can filled with rocks (I think I could play that one). It was awesome. The Spirit was present in the hearts, faces, and feet of this very special group of God's people. Especially moving was corporate prayer with everyone crying out to God (loudly) in multiple languages. I have been invited back to preach, probably in three weeks. Check out the video of our worship at Namayumba. Also check out the photos of our experiences today below.
Thanks for your prayers,
Edd
