Pastors and Wives Retreat

We had the privilege of hosting some pastors and their wives at a retreat on marriage and the family. Thanks to a generous donation from several churches in Colorado to honor these hard working pastor's wives, we were able to stay at this beautiful retreat center overlooking the Nile river!

This is the view from one of the bandas. Many of the ladies had never traveled outside of the Mbale district where we live. What a wonderful and relaxing way to experience God's beautiful creation.

We ate our meals outside in the plush gardens. It was a blessing for these ladies to have all their meals prepared and served to them.

There was teaching

Singing

More teaching

Recreation!

We had a segregated swim time. Most of them had never been swimming their entire lives. It was such a fun time!             

We were also treated to a boat ride on the Nile.

These are the men and their wives who pastor the Presbyterian Churches in Uganda (PCU) in the Mbale region. Please pray for these men. Being a godly husband and a godly pastor is countercultural.
