CHALLENGES
•
Crusade Grounds were located up to 10 km away from the places of residence which necessitated us to always use motorized means of transport, which were also not reliable. This greatly affected us negatively on time management.
• Weather was too cold for some of the missioners to cope up with. Some missioners fell sick.
• The distance from the church and the missioners’ places of residence was actually long and this affected on effectiveness and productivity.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
KMG appreciates:
• The Alumni fellowship for support financially, spiritually morally and otherwise
• The partners for the continued sacrifice, worth to note are; Rev. Asiimwe Onesmus, Pr. Josephat Murungi.
• Rukungiri community Church under the care of Pr. Elisha Kakwerere and the entire pastoral team, and the entire Church for the offer to host us, and all the contributions accorded to us in terms of finances and material.
