Meeting the KCM staff

It seems like today has become a day for meeting Kyampisi Childcare Ministry (KCM) staff.

Peter is the CEO and seems to have an oversight and mentoring role. He is the face of KCM and is the one who speaks on behalf of the ministry. He is a qualified Accountant who feels God had called him to serve the community of Kyampisi through the Board of KCM for a season.

We haven't met members of the KCM Board as yet, but are looking forward to this as God opens doors.

Dianna, Peter's sister, seems to act like his PA and Office Manager.

Shelin acts as the auditor and Business Manager for KCM.

Edith is responsible for the KCM Child Sponsorship Program and organising tours for working groups (safari tours and white water rafting).

Brenda is the resident cook and has served us very well, We've enjoyed omelette's for breakfast, rice with red bean stew for lunch and rice, roasted potatoes and bean stew for dinner. Brenda has also introduced us to ginger coffee - absolutely sensational.

Jeffrey is the security guard at the Jesus House. While we haven't seen his gun, I certainly wouldn't want to break into the compound as he's been charged with the responsibility to keep everyone safe.

Sam, Medi, Edwin and Colin seem to fill a need wherever there is one - gardening, driving and general maintenance. Sam is also the resident guitarist and leads the singing and worship at devotions. He is very talented and has an amazing voice. The singing at devotions is spontaneous and sweet - and in 3 part harmony!

Speaking about devotions, Peter has asked me to lead staff devotions each morning at 9am. He's also asked me to weave into these times Biblical teaching about personal responsibility in team membership and the importance of unity as a team.

Barbara is one of the teachers at the temporary KCM school at Kyampisi and also takes responsibility for the KCM Children's Choir. Peter and Barbara are setting up a recording studio at the Jesus House where they're hoping to record the next KCM Children's Choir CD.

While we've been hanging around building relationships today there has been a film crew working on the sequel to the BBC Documentary on Child Sacrificing. I think they're interviewing a Ugandan judge tomorrow (who was critical in the sentencing of local witch doctors) and a set of parents whose son was affected by the practice.

Thanks for reading this blog and thanks for your prayers.
