Lew and Bryan Travel to Kampala

Well we just finished up our time in Rwanda. Mal flew home (sad face...), and Bryan and I took the 8 hour bus ride from Kigali to Kampala. I sat next to a large man, and the seating was quite compact...so not the most comfortable experience you can imagine haha. Anyway, I was reading The Cost of Discipleship, and I started talking to him about the book. It turned out that he was a Chirstian who was saved in 2007 after remembering back on the miracles God had done in his life. He was a retired captain from the Rwandan Peoples Forces (RPF) and was part of the army that liberated Rwanda from the genocidal government. He was very interesting to talk to. We now are in Uganda and met with the Bible Society here and got some information about their project and what the needs are. So we will be traveling to the north soon where the conflict was most severe over the past 20 years or so. It is that conflict that has moved into the DRC (along with others), and so the people from the DRC suffer from the same rebel groups that were in this northern area called the Lords Resistance Army or LRA. Hope you all are well and thanks for the prayers and support. We miss you Mallory!
