Uganda - Seven weeks from today

In just seven weeks time, four of us from St John's and St Mark's churches in Great Clacton will be starting a nine-day visit to Uganda. Our church family supports a Wycliffe Bible Translation project, translating the Bible into the Lunyole language. Lunyole is spoken by the Banyole people who live in the Mbale area of South Eastern Uganda. The town where we'll be staying is called Busolwe.We will be visiting the translation team, seeing their work and spending time getting to know them. We will also be visiting schools and other institutions. Although our financial support is important, we are told that Ugandans are people who place a high value on relationships with others, so an important aspect of our visit will be building relationships. We will also be looking for additional ways we might assist people.
