MY VISIT TO DALLAS

Mark and Dan we waiting for me at the baggage claim area and went for dinner and then drove home. Margaret was at home waiting. I was happy to be hosted at Mark and Margaret’s home.

The next day. Margaret took me to Preston wood Christian Academy, where Yvonne is the Assistant Principal. It was great to meet Yvonne.

I also got the opportunity of meeting Sandra and Nancy who head AWANA. AWANA at Preston wood has been a great blessing to our AWANA back at Revival Tabernacle in Kabale. I told them briefly what the Lord had done in our church and community through AWANA. AWANA, a children discipleship program, is tremendously influencing the way of life in our community.

Yvonne took us around the school and church facilities.

Preston wood Academy is a church school. The church shares most of its facilities with the school especially during the weekdays and the school shares its facilities with the church especially for AWANA and on Sunday for Sunday school classes.

It is a clean school with good and organized classes.

In the evening I met with the Rock board, the Rock organization do a lot of ministry in Uganda with students’ support and business incubation.

It was great for me to share with them my vision and my dreams. They also shared with me the Rock’s new procedures especially in relationship with the Revival Tabernacle Ministries and future working relationship. We decided I would report to our ministry board before we decide which way things would go, and possibly come up with a written agreement.

Yvonne took us for a barbecue dinner. It was delicious.

We visited Yvonne’s house briefly, before Mark, Margaret and I went back to their residence. We missed Jon, Yvonne’s husband who had gone visiting.

THE STATE FAIR OF TEXAS

On Friday, Mark and Margaret took me for the State Fair of Texas. It had been going on for a week and it was due to end on Sunday.

This state fair started centuries, way back as an exhibition where people especially farmers would come from different places and with different items for the show and for selling. Here you would enjoy different things from different cultures.

Now it has become a big State fair and different things are done. It takes place once every year.

I was surprised to see thousand of people who had come to attend this year’s fair. There were several things on exhibition and lots of commodities being sold. Different games going on, a lot many things which are interesting to see. Also there were several rides for children and adults alike.

Margaret and I took a ride in one of them. It was fun!

We also visited a few other places, like animal houses. I had never seen cows so big!

It was a great day.

That evening I was scheduled to meet some Rock chapter members who help raise support for the Rock ministry.

Earlier on, during the day I had met Mark’s Mother who is a generous supporter of the Rock.

It was going to be Yvonne’s birthday. Mark and Margaret prepared her a big cake.

We had a great fellowship.

I shared with them how their support has tremendously been a blessing especially to the 16 children in the children’s house and the Rock scholarship students.

Thank you friends for all you are doing to make a difference in our community.
