Rwanda Mission Partnership

I arrived in Uganda on Saturday night after a pretty gruelling 28 hour journey from Perth.

I met up with John Mihigo, when he arrived at Entebbe airport about an hour after me. We then travelled with local representatives of the CUF in Kampala to a guest house to crash out for the night.

Sunday morning we attended a service at the CUF Uganda site, in a poor area of Kampala near the hospital.

For the past 4 days I have been in Mukono with John at the Amahoro Africa gathering - a conference exploring the emerging church as it pertains to the African context. A big focus of the gathering has been partnerships, with around 60 odd westerners in attendence.

Topics included: The gospel of reconciliation versus the evacuation gospel, the empowerment of women in the church, and ways of building and growing the church in a more ecumenical fashion as an expression of the kingdom of God.

You can read an overview of the conference at the Amahoro Africa blog site - http://www.amahoroafrica.blogspot.com/
Tonight John and I fly to Kigali in Rwanda and will meet the team from Australia at Kigali airport tomorrow night.

In coming days I will post updates from the individual team members on their experiences in Kigali.
