These are images from the Spring 2021 Tubur Seminary, roughly an hour northeast from Soroti, Uganda. Rick spent a week with seventy men, and a few women, as they pursued their education.
Twenty-two men received Associates Degrees in Pastoral Ministry on this trip. Numerous other men and women received certificates in Leadership Training as well.
Our challenge going forward is purchasing Laptop computers, installing electricity at the School location, and setting up weekly communications across our great divide.
Can you see yourself in the pictures?

I left for a long visit to Africa. My first stop – Amsterdam, then on to Monrovia, Liberia.
I arrived late at night – around 11 pm. I was greeted by Cyrus Numbeh, and John Kollie of ICPM (Interior Church Planting Ministries), and my wonderful driver, care of CRCA and Dennis and Vania Aggrey.

On the Road Again – I left Monrovia after the last minute opportunity to be with Dennis Aggrey at the Lower Jungle Road community near the airport. Great vision and insight on CRCA’s part! A seminary – a large lodge with rooms, dormitories and classrooms. The agriculture programs and plans were / are impressive to say the least. Dennis specifically asked that we help with the teaching and training, as well as any support we could provide – beyond money. This is where we want to connect – of that I am confident.
This last trip to Uganda in September was a huge success. Click to view the some of the pictures from the trip…
Bordering beautiful Lake Victoria is the capital of Uganda, Kampala. Just 30 minutes south of the city center is Luwafu, Uganda where Pastor Paul runs a school of over 200 children.
In the Western Region of Uganda, in a town just north of Lake George, is Kasese. Kasese is the gateway to the beautiful landscapes of Queen Elizabeth National Park and Rwenzori National Park.
But despite the beauty of nature, there are countless people who live with nothing. Kasese’s history was built on the backs of copper mining, but poverty still runs rampant despite the fact that the King has a palace nearby.
