Friends, Its good to know that you all have made it into 2009. Only three days into the New Year and we at Westlink are already on the road to the great town of Masindi. And travelling 2 by 2 on these trips as usual, this time am with my brother McDonald Kamese of Love is King Ministries in Mexico. For Donald, it has been two years since his last visit to Uganda. And so this is a one-stone-hitting two birds for him as we will also be visiting his paternal family in Kihande, about 1km from Masindi town. Actually we plan to camp at Kihande during our work-stay in Masindi.
Something about Masindi though; as we enter through Hoima district, i was welcomed by a sudden chill of a sleeping legacy. An infallible ancestral heritage, and if you have read a little Ugandan history, you certainly know something about ancient Bunyoro. In fact, you may not see the Statue of The Great Omukama (King) Kabalega, and neither the ruins of the great historic wars that took place here, but the traditional winds of legacy will surely whisper in your heart as if you were on an excursion trip to help the textbook tales on the traditional wealth of Bunyoro. The people of Masindi are called Banyoro. The Banyoro also occupy the district Hoima, Bugangaizi, part of Bulisa, Kibale and Kitagwenda.
Anyhow, I will save you the history! We are in Masindi to as part of our initial activities to meet and connect with regional local pastors and leaders as we shall be doing in the various other districts after here. No major contact yet, but we hope that by the time we are done here, we will have not got major contacts,but rathe we’ll have met several of the pastors and discussed about and scheduled some of the major events we are looking forward to hold in the first quarter of 2009.
Just you just don’t click next (wherever) and by the time you get there I will have posted updates on what may have transpired on this trip.
Otherwise stay tuned and God bless.
We are getting off the bus now, but first we have to find an internet café so I can post this update before we head for Kihande!
LOVERULES and don’t forget that JESUS IS ON THE WAY BACK TO TAKE HIS CHOSEN!!!
