Ugandan Friends and Family


Last week, the WGM Uganda field welcomed 2 new families into its fold. Josh & Kelly Hallahan and Scott & Meg Rambo have 2 boys each (all 4 and under!), and actually Scott & Kelly are siblings. Imagine being the grandparents and family saying bye (from the USA) to 4 grand babies! (Pray for their families if you think of it!).

Hallahan's will serve here in Kampala, the capital city. They'll do ministries at Kampala International University while Josh will also be chaplain at Heritage International School. Rambo's will do pastor's training and church development from Arua (northern Uganda) working alongside Billy & Joanna Coppedge.

As part of a welcome to Uganda and also a nice fellowship, our current interim field leader, John & his wife Beth, hosted a picnic BBQ at their home, inviting all the WGMers who could make it, plus several Africa Gospel Church pastors and their families. It was a wonderful time to reunite/make new friends. I've included a few photos from the day (it was this past Saturday), including a group shot of all of us.
