Abajubi Meeting — “Fishers of Men”
Posted by ankolemission on March 1, 2007
A Great Meeting This Week…
For most of Wednesday and Thursday, Nick Fouts led a meeting of the “Abajubi” (“Fishermen” in the Runyankore language). It was the latest in a series of very important meetings that we have been having with some of our most mature, dedicated leaders among the Ankole churches. Once again, we enjoyed a GREAT meeting with these men!

Among other things, we talked about elderships, how the missionaries and Ugandan leaders can cooperate better together, and how we can help empower and equip them to be able to make good decisions for the future of this movement of churches.
Nick says, “It was a great meeting. I continue to appreciate the openness these men have to honestly discuss the current status of this work as well as a vision for the future. I am always challenged by their faith, and the strong desire they have to carry on this mission with the Lord’s help. We’re gradually learning what it means to work more effectively together with these guys, making our work much more of a real partnership between us and them — and that is exciting!”
Please keep the leaders of the Ankole churches in your prayers…
