The last afternoon in Dino, I sat down with James, along with a couple of other members on the team. It was fascinating hearing about his life and reflecting on what a pillar of strength he is to his community.
At sixty four years of age, I’m sure James has seen a lot in Dino. He, along with several other men, built the church in their village. He told me about his bike and how he rides to other villages to tell people about Jesus. I kindly asked him if he would get his bike out for a photo shoot. He kindly obliged.
I asked James if there was something he would like to tell the people in America. He said this, “We love you. Please pray for peace.” There you have it, friends. Let’s join together and pray for peace in Uganda, in Dino.
Linking up with Jennifer @ Studio JRU for Sneak Peek Friday.

Blessings!
