Ok, there are things I wanted to post while in Africa but was unable so I am going to try and catch up. I went to Uganda with a plan that I thought the older kids would like as they love working with beads. I have been using an Anglican Rosary for a year now as a prayer tool. It is similar to a Roman Catholic Rosary but shorter and more open as to how to pray with it. I had purchased beads and crosses, had communicated with a sweet lady in Hoime to make some African beads so some could be made and brought back with an African flair. I felt that God was excited about this plan. The MOH team thought it was a good idea and it was worked into the Healing the Orphans Heart program we were doing with the older kids. Monday right before lunch, I presented the idea of making the beads and how to pray the ACTS prayer, Adoration-Confession-Thanksgiving-Supplication, using the beads. The kids liked the idea and talked with me more about it. What I did not know was that the Bishop of Bunyoro-Kitara diocese had recently had a letter written the day before telling all the people that the Anglican Church does not use a rosary or prayer beads, this is a tool for the Roman Catholic Church.  I had stood in front of these kids and told them to do something the Bishop did not agree with. Well, needless to say, the idea was canned and we went on with the conference without mentioning rosary’s again. The concept of the ACTS prayer did get to the kids, so they have that tool. That was the important part. It was an interesting lesson on doing what is accepted in a culture different them your own. It was also a lesson from God in He will allow what is important in our work to get to who he wants it to get to. Life is journey and there is a new lesson every day. Thanks God for this one.
