Uganda 2019: Casey's View

Today we traveled many hours to visit a remote village on the bank of Lake Victoria named Namayingo. The path to get there is miles of narrow red clay roads, the clay is so powerful that all the plants are painted red from its dusting.

The children called out "mazungu mazungu " which means white people! They chased after us as we drove up,

and surrounded the bus as we got off shrieking with excitement, some never having seen a white person before!

We walked to the shoreline of the beautiful lake and watched as the local livestock drank from the river.  We found out that this water is used for many things, human and animal waste, bathing, fishing, and the it is the only source of water for their homes as well.

God presented us with an amazing opportunity to discuss sanitation and hygiene with these women and we be praying for them as well. They were very receptive to our discussion. They sang for us on arrival and departure. We crossed language barriers and held each other up in prayer, it was beautiful.

These women love God, and God is all powerful and loves them to. We would welcome our family and friends at home to pray for our Ugandan friends as well. Pray they get clean water and medical care, as they are dying from illness that is 100% curable.  Pray with us that they opened their ears and hearts to receive the love Jesus is pouring into them.
