SATURDAY PHOTO GALLERY

One of the young guys on the team had his hair done in those tight plaits and then had some coloured hair added to the ends. When I was with Bishop Patrick this morning he told me that while that may not be important in Australia, in Africa only the women and the very rebellious young men have their hair done like this. It is a fashionable thing for women but a statement of rebellion for a man. So the team helped Dave get back to normal this afternoon before the Crusade





This is Dan. He is a young Acholi man who helps Patrick and Christine in the house. Here he is using the coke powered iron to do my shirt for me before the Crusade. They burn the pieces of coke inside the body of the iron and when it is hot they can iron the clothes. It takes a bit longer but works when there is no power.








The members of the team went to the prison this morning. It is about 40 km out along the road to Soroti where we will be going on Monday afternoon. As soon as you get into the country the style of housng changes quite significantly. Here is an example of it.










As I have described in the report, the team went without Jaemin and shared, sang and preached in the prison. They were quite impressed with the way the Christian prison governor handled the situation and the prisoners. Seven of the men gave their lives to Christ through this ministry.









Here is a better way to preach. If we have the British colonisers and missionaries to thank for the fact that the pastors wear suits and ties to preach, I am grateful that the Africans had better sense. This shirt is not quite as formal as the suit, but Patrick said it would be acceptable for me to wear. It will be even more appropriate when we go to Soroti where it is much hotter.
