Happy visits to Uganda

Rejoice in the Lord always! I am writing to you from distant Uganda to bring you our news. First I would like to inform you that we have received the sum of thirteen thousand euros that you were kind enough to send us for soup for the orphanage and we thank you very much. Recently we were visited by the Metropolitan of Kition, Chrysostomos, along with a large number of volunteer doctors and nurses who offered their medical services for a week. The Metropolitan and the team took part in the inauguration of the Holy Church of the Virgin Mary in Bugolo. A few days later we were visited by Metropolitan Prokopios of Philippi with a team of sixteen persons. He baptized many catechumens in the Buwambo area and laid the foundation of the Holy Church of St. Thomas the Apostle. They also took part in the inauguration of St. Basil’s Church in Kikwanya district. These visits fill us with joy and give us courage in this difficult situation we find ourselves in. We pray that the Almighty God will keep all of you and the partners of the foreign mission, who have been building schools, orphanages and health centres in our region for the past 20 years, strong. Our efforts continue to the glory of God. Thank you very much.
