Last Saturday saw Hannah and I (together with 3 members of the KCM team) travel by motor-powered canoe to Kalyambuzi Island on Lake Victoria.
The journey 'across the waves' took us a little over 2 hours. Although at first it was quite overcast, about half-way across, the clouds cleared and the sun broke through! The water was very still and we felt very safe as we travelled together.
On arrival we walked straight to the local Community Centre where I preached.
Following this we went for a walk through the village and met many of the locals - most of whom were fishermen. I was particularly moved by their friendliness and genuine welcome. Although the community is very poor, the views from the island are picture perfect (not that different from Fiji as I remember).
We saw the partly completed church and the proposed site for the new Christian School - which will be heavily supported by KCM when it is finally built (once the Kyampisi Christian School is nearing completion).
After lunch we returned to our boat and made our way home - nearly a 3 hour ride as the motor kept stalling.
