Uganda Day 4- High School

Their awesome daily quote board

The highlight of our day at the High School was Chapel. Ezra, Pastor Dongo's son, brought the sound system from the church so they were able to have mics and music. Abby and Sarah  practiced with the high school praise team before Chapel and loved getting to meet the kids and teach them a new song. They said they are amazing singers and had terrific harmony! Several of our team members said watching the worship was their favorite part of the day.

Mary taught chapel and asked some of the kids to volunteer reading John 4 about the Samaritan Woman at the Well. We talked about just as physical water in necessary to sustain physical life, living water from Jesus is necessary to sustain eternal life with Him! The best part was watching the kids stand up in front of their peers (who were laughing and cheering them on) and reading God’s Word into a microphone! They had never done that and although they were intimidated, they did it! They grew a lot today! The principal thanked us for challenging the kids to be bold with their faith. She said God gives us opportunities to stand up for him and we must take them. She said if we don't someone else will who may not believe in our God! Great lesson for us too!

Listen to this video and hear their sweet voices! This is a group of kids that were fasting during lunch. We heard them singing and went to hear their worship and prayer time. They have such a heart for God and want to know Him and please Him with their lives. It is totally student lead, there were no teachers around.

We took all the class pictures at the High School, and they were much calmer and “cooler” than the Primary School. They all wanted to be tall and be on the back row. It was fun to watch them interact with their friends. No matter where you are, there is always a class clown to make you laugh! We handed out more loom bracelets to all the kids that Met Kids made for them. They loved them so much and were so encouraged that kids from the US had cared enough for them to make them a free gift.The kids in this picture are all sponsored by families of The Met...what a great looking crew!

The crazy camera crew trying to make the kids smile!
