Uganda

Since June, Micah Berger and Andrew Olson have been serving as Ambassador Institute instructors. They have worked alongside the Ugandan teachers with their 10 classes and they lead the class in Jinja. Micah and Andrew had a tough month of health issues in July. Micah had a cold and Malaria. Andrew had pneumonia, worms, Typhoid Fever and Malaria all back to back. It seemed like a spiritual attack by the way they all came one after another. Both of them are back to good health and have been busy with ministry.

The training classes are progressing well. At the peak there were 13 classes. Some of them have been completed and currently there are 10 meeting. Each week, the teachers get together for lesson preparation, where they cover the biblical text to make sure they understand it well. They discuss how to present the story and how to answer the questions that students might ask. This preparation helps ensure that the teachers are reproducing what they were first taught.

The class that meets in Jinja is a special group because it is made up of people from several different language groups. The lessons are taught in English, which is their common language. There are four students that have shown good leadership and are already teaching classes of their own.
