Busia Mission Report

After every meeting we hang out with the Busia Gospel Church members to talk more about the many questions that they had. Here I am with some guys talking about what is allowed for the girls to do for the guys to show that they were intersted in a relationship.

The guy in Green is from Uganda and he was suggesting that the ladies need to cook and wash clothes for the guys and be available so that the guys can know that they are interested. He was very strong about the girls not to suggest in anyway verbally that they were intersted in a relationship...in other words women should NEVER propose to men directly if they are intersted in them.

Whats you opinion, I would love to hear it, if you have time please leave your answer here by clicking on the comment link.

Busia Taxis

When you say Taxi in Busia this is what it means...get a ride on the back of a bicycle for really cheap - between 10 to 20 shillings depending on where you are going. If you fall and the Bicycle gets damaged the passenger pays! There is no insurance, all you need is a faith as BIG as an OAK tree to ride ths boda bodas as they are popularly known.





The appropriate way for girls to sit on the boda boda is sideways. Make sure you can balance well because if you are not careful you may fall off the Bike and the bikers dont stop to help they run away!

I am back from Busia

We are back from Busia! Our time there to say the least was very good and we saw the Lord at work in the lives of the young people there. What was amazing to me was the many things that the team that we went with knew about Dating the Christian way that the Busia young people did not know. It was always encouraging to hear people say, "I have never heard that before. Thanks you for taking your time to come teach us."
