Timothy Leadership Training

I (Steve) have been working along side with Joshua Shaarda teaching Timothy Leadership Training (TLT).  This training here in Pingere (pictures below), which is about an hour ride on motorcycle from Soroti, is the first of TLT Training in this area.  I was able to go at the beginning and see the initial planning stages up to the actual start of training.  We consistently had around 25 pastors/church leaders attend both days of the training on Pastoral Care.  I am privileged to be immersed in the culture because I am learning a lot from the Ateso people.  I will be starting more intense language training after the first of the year with a Pastor Francis who is a neighbor of ours.  I've also been in a village called Orungo where TLT is being taught.  I am also excited to possibly do follow ups with the Pastor's Action Plans and Results for Kingdom Change which is a vital part of TLT Training.  This will bring opportunities to meet at homes and work in gardens and build trust and relationships with the Ugandan people.  Our ministry here in Uganda is all relational.  Working along side the Ugandan people is our ministry teaching them the Biblical Worldview.  I  am excited to share more in the future about TLT and the work God has given me to do here in Soroti and Beyond.  2 Timothy 2:2 "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others."
