Teddy Sentamu, Irene Binaisa, and Fred Okeke received their Basic certificates at the ceremony in Mbale. Fred delivered the valedictorian speech and the Tororo MIracle Center Church of Christ choir provided praise in song! It was surely a great day!
Background
Sam started it all. After coming back from visits to his home town - Tororo, Uganda, East Africa - with stories and pictures of a young church trying to find itself, we decided to accompany him on his trip in 2006. Our congregation had sent offerings to help with the construction of the church building and we - just two of us - wanted to see the work first hand.
During the months leading up to the trip, we heard from the congregation about their needs... they wanted "education." And that seemed a tall order.
But at the 2005 National Missionary Convention in Atlanta, we learned that there was a Church of Christ mission in Mbale, just under 30 miles from Tororo. Further, the Mbale Mission Team had established the Messiah Theological Institute (MTI) for the specific purpose of training church leaders.
From then on, our goal was to try and establish a connection between the church and the mission and to find out how the church leaders could enter into to the training program at MTI. And to see if we could all follow the pattern described in Ephesians 4:11-13 ...
It was he (Christ) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
