The Ranch and the days to follow...

In 2007 the time spent at the ranch was probably one of the bests weeks spent in uganda. The ranch is about 2 hours north of Kampala, the capitol of Uganda. On the ranch one finds a primary school, a secondary school, and Cornerstone Leadership Academy for boys (CLA). I spent a day and a night there earlier this week. I saw all new faces. It is a 2 year academy so everyone I had met before had graduated. It was wonderful being back there. I ate dinner at the academy and made some contacts with people i will speak to soon about spiritual warfare. The next morning I spoke at the secondary school to a class of about 50 students. I spoke on the subject of unity (unity with God, with eachother, in their families, etc.) It was a really good time. I enjoyed it alot.
Since being at the ranch I have done a lot. Besides continuing to speak to people about spiritual warfare, i have hit up the casino for a night, played soccer with some inner city kids that live in the ghetto, wished a new friend a safe trip back to the states, experienced the greatness of ehtiopian food, and just had a great time hanging out and getting to know new people. I am rushing through this post because I will be leaving to go back to the ranch in about 30 minutes. I will spend two days there talking to teachers and people in the community about witchcraft and other crazy crazy stuff. From there I will go to Gulu, in northern uganda, where a lot of the war in Uganda has taken place. I will continue my research up there and also clear up some miscommunication that has been unresolved for the last 2 years (long story and I can't share details). After Gulu i will travel to a town in North west Uganda near the congo known as Arua. Here I will be attending a wedding ceremony as well as taking in all the scenary and if lucky, picking up some more information that may be useful for my research. I wish I had time to go into more detail about the events over the last couple days, but will have to do so in a future post, or when i get back to the states.
Much love,
Richard
