Get the feedLast Day in Uganda
Monday, Aug 31st 2009
SixSeeds friend Andy Mills has created "The 5810 Project," predicated on the belief that while “teaching a man to fish” will provide him with a fish diet for a lifetime, it will not lead him out of poverty. To escape poverty people need to develop sustainable business activities. The 5810 Project’s vision is to help people build businesses and break the poverty cycle in Uganda. SixSeeds will be posting portions of blogs from our friends as they go through this journey.
Today, we had our second Sunday service in Uganda. This service, however, was much different than our previous one. For this service, we were in a building made of iron sheets, instead of under a tree. Also, the three of us were together today. There were also about 100 people there today, about 75 more than last weekend.
The hardest part was saying goodbye to the children. Tonight, we celebrated the end of our trip with a dinner at the hotel. We took time to recount our favorite stories and think about all that had taken place. What a trip!
Thanks, Andy, for your willingness to share with us during your trip! If you would like more information regarding this project, please contact Andy Mills at agmills@TKC.edu.
