Deaf/hearing YWAM Team Support

     Glory special Needs School, Kitgum, N Uganda  welcomed us warmly. They asked us to lead a Sunday service for them because they’d never hosted one before. They did a fantastic bible drama (see last slide) for us about the rich man and Lazarus, brilliantly coached by one of their Muslim sign language interpreters. We joined, then led a school debate on whether the deaf should continue to have their own Olympics. We also helped run tailoring & baking lessons.

     Our team also helped to set up a large school library and hearing children read at a large school for war orphans.Our team also lead a one-day seminar for  50+ local church leaders and youth leaders to develop their bible  dramatization/ interactive teaching skills. A second one day seminar was  to help couples enrich their marriages. Both seminars were much appreciated. Participant came for five different churches and two schools inc. eight deaf from Glory Sp. Needs       

    Our team was able to strengthen interdenominational relationships and support several organisations in Kitgum addressing post-conflict development needs such as the rehabilitation, education and reconciliation of innumerable children caught up in the regional conflict.
