‘We are so hungry for this kind of teaching – it is exactly what our country so desperately needs.’ – the words of a Ugandan student summing up the first-ever ‘Living Word Uganda’ conference, held over five days in January at African Bible University in Lubowa, Uganda.
And hunger there was. 143 students travelled from all over the country, many for over ten hours, to attend. Despite the lure of beautiful university grounds, it was in the hot lecture hall and in small groups where students were to be found, for over seven hours a day, delighting in the riches of God’s Word.
A partnership of service
‘The idea started when Stuart Creed and I studied at the Cornhill Training Course together’, Milton Tweheyo explained.‘It’s been so encouraging to see the Lord develop links between our two countries and begin to meet the tremendous need.’
