Rejoice in the Lord always!
I am writing to you from far-off Uganda to tell you our news. First I would like to inform you that we have received the amount of 13,000 € which you so kindly sent us for the common meals at the orphanage, and I would like to thank you for your warm-heartedness and generosity.
Recently we were paid a visit by the Metropolitan of Kition Chrysostomos along with a large number of volunteer doctors and nurses, who offered their medical expertise and services for a week. The Metropolitan and the team participated in the consecration of the Holy Church of Theotokos in Bugolo.
A few days later we were also visited by the Metropolitan of Philippi Prokopios along with a team of sixteen people. He baptized a lot of catechumens in the region of Buyambo and set the foundations of the Holy Church of Saint Basil in the region of Kikwanya.
Such visits fill us with joy and give us courage to face the difficult situation we are in. We pray that the All-good God keeps healthy all of you as well as the partners of the Orthodox Mission, which has been constructing schools, orphanages and health centers in our region for 20 years now. Our efforts are being continued for the glory of God.
Our warmest thanks
fr. Ioannis Kibuuka
