 (Mathias practicing the skit & sweat dripping down Eddy face the food was gooood)

Well 2011 has really kicked off now 34/40 leaders turned up for the Kampala 2 Day Training last Friday and Saturday. Went through many topics from building and sustaining a team, mobilisation and sensitization to teaching life skills through sports practical in the field and the leaders plan a complete outreach and doing it with 70 kids.

 The 34 leaders came from 13 different projects in Kampala, Entebbe & Mukono Districts which is exciting news as they all seemed full of life with zeal to take their ministries forwards.

 

Now its down to our follow-up in KSM Head Office, we have already started to meet with the head leaders of the projects about way forwards for 2011 and what else KSM can do to help move their project forwards.

Two New Assistant Outreach Co-Ordinators

 Your Money has done more than just helped me with my ministry expenses. it has now allowed me to support two Assistant Outreach Co-coordinators for KSM. These two guys have been working as volunteers in KSM for the past 4 years and have done so much for the ministry and me during my time here. Now i am blessed to be able to give back and invest in them.

Sam has had many roles as a volunteer in KSM starting of running KSM Kisugu to handing that over and taking up Children's Time Namuwongo which is now established well for the past year with 8 leaders and 200+ children. CTN has been chosen to become the Flagship Program meaning it is the example program for KSM when ever people want to learn about what we are all about we point them to Sam. I am much looking forwards to working alongside Sam more closely his humor, laughter and overwhelming passion to share Christ with the young children is an example to us all.

Tomorow's Heroes

 Tomorrow's Heroes is a new ministry working with street children in Kivulu a slum in the heart of Kampala. It has been started up by Kate Dodds who has been working with these children in Kivulu for over 10 months now. The program used to run on a Saturday afternoon in the middle of the slum with limited space or facilities to run a meaningful program. Then God opened up a door through a connection i had with a church on the edge of Kivulu called Deliverance Church. With the new name decided by the kids "Tomorrow's heroes" in place, fantastic facilities of a play area, classrooms and shower rooms everything is set. This past Sunday Kate and her team held their first outreach at the new spot with 75 street children coming along an amazing turnout for the first time. all the kids split into small groups ready and willing to change their lives. Please but this new ministry in your prayers that it will grow and flourish to become a way for street children in Uganda to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour

HOW GOD IS USING ME TO REACH THE GIRLS AT RAHAB UGANDA

 Last Week I told you about Rahab Uganda, a ministry working with girls who have been abused. Well yesterday i went back to the home for the weekly sports ministry session with the girls. We were focusing on Leadership with 3 of the girls about to go to University it was such a relevent topic which they opened upto so well. I have bult a bond wth the girls now that has made them relaxed around me. As they shared some of the difficulties of there past with people telling them what to do and this leading to abuse. We looked at them being the example, taking a step in the right direction and being a leader like Jesus, as it talks about in John 13:1-20 Jesus leads by example and surves the dispiles by washing their feet and Moses a great leader in the bible who even when he did wrong God used him and his trust in God lead to the Isralitmes becomgin free from Eygypt. Being around these girls builds me up and reminds me why i am in Uganda to make a difference in the lives of children through sports.

The Leaders have grasp how to use sports to 
reach these girls and are now 
thriving in this Ministry.

Uganda Elections: Campaining with a difference

View from my flat of the election campaigns

with hundreds of people watching.

Well the Uganda Elections are around the corner. And all the pollination's are doing there best to be recognised and get the votes. Picture above shows how hundreds of people are happy to leave there work and watch some dancing and entertainment put on by a politician wanting to be the next mayor of Kampala. Instead of telling the people who he is going to improve the city and create a much better livelihood for the people. he brings in some dancers to well dance for hours on end. Ugandan Politics Fantastic.

SOOOOOOOOOOO CLOSE
