Surgeon Robert, answer to prayer


From January this year Frank, our previous general surgeon and medical director for has been preparing to to leave for higher Urology training in Tanzania. Since then many have been praying fervently for his replacement.


Robert, the same age and surgical experience as Frank from a church hospital in the far East of Uganda arrived to fill the gap with a week to spare. Whew! His reasons for the choosing Kagando included "Dr Lyth" and "You do so much with so little.".


Robert is a warm sociable character, ex-boxer and rugby player, who will get on well here. However his wife and 5 young children remain the East 450 miles away, so they will need our prayers.

Silver Jubilee


We were invited to speak on parenting to a thousand people at the celebrations of the Episcopal church of South Ruwenzori. Eight children helped us on stage with a play, contrasting two different families. After that we lead a session for hundreds of children on living a christian life.


The number of churches has quintupled in 25 years to 400, and the membership grown to 85,000! The church is also active in health care, education, water supply, agriculture, finance and other areas. Something to celebrate!
