Not all "stiff upper lip"
Doing things not in the Job Description. And unlike some Mission Partners, both of us do have job descriptions. But for two weeks in July we helped out at the annual CMS Conference and Training Conference. Looking after some of the older children of those in training. “You’ve had children, yes?” Well.. yes. They are in their 30′s. However, we had kids when we were in mission training and others helped out. So it was only fair to “Give as you have received”. And also, a chance to get some In-Service training on Facebook, refresher training on 10 pin bowling, table tennis, table football, collage, and kid-flicks.
Missionaries to a Christian Country. Eh? 28 April 2008

“Uganda is a Christian country, so why go there as missionaries?” Tricky question. For starters – can a country be “Christian”? And the word “missionary”. It is so burdened by history as to be best left in history. Yet the basic question remains. Why go from a country that currently recognised so little of the love of God (UK) to work in a country that knows much much more of the love of God (Uganda)?
