Thank you to all of you who prayed for Simon last week on his trip to Tanzania and Rwanda. The flight time was long and the weather proved a challenge but everything went as planned. The group that he flew were able to complete what they wanted so mission accomplished. We were glad to have him safely back on Wednesday evening. He did take some photos which I hope to post once I have downloaded them off his phone :)
This month has been a busy month for visitors not only personally but also for MAF Uganda generally. Last week we had a team from MAF Denmark visit the programme. Many of whom had never visited the field before but took an opportunity to come and visit and see what it was like for themselves. They were able to go on a MAF flight as well as take in some local sights. A MAF colleague and I took three of the ladies to one of the Christian Martyrs Shrine just outside of Kampala. This gave the history of 22 martyrs who bravely died for their faith. 13 of the martyrs were burned at this site between 1885 and 1887. It made us consider if our backs were against the wall would we willingly die for our faith. Good to be challenged by these questions now and again.
Over the weekend some Dutch business ladies who do support work for MAF Holland visited the programme. We took four of them to church yesterday and then spent some time talking with them over coffee afterwards. Today Simon is flying them to the North of Uganda whereby they will be on the ground for a few hours in Pader looking at a project there. This will give them first hand knowledge of the work that MAF does and the people that we support through flying and other means. We trust this will give them an even greater vision for supporting the work of MAF around the world.
