House Church in the Rain

It is rainy season and that always hampers the folks getting to the house churches because rains here are BIG ONES.  Yesterday, it had been raining off and on and we felt that we should cancel the house church at Kawuku but no one there has a phone for us to call and check on the situation.  We hated not to show….but remember that for the most part our groups meet outside.   But Dickens, our Ugandan leader for that group, insisted that we go…he said, "they will be waiting….they will!"  So we went and about 8 were meeting in Prosse's little 8' x 12' room, which also has 2 single beds for her and 4 children. As we began to sing and worship, 7 more crowded in.  Danny could see the doorway and told me many were standing outside in the rain…some with umbrellas and some without.  The rain began to lessen so we all went outside to join them and had a great group of 30 folks, plus children.  And we had a wonderful worship service.  How we wish that you all could experience some of their services.
