| Movie Night with the Law Fellowship Leadership team |
Over the last couple of years Dan, Mark and Margaret have
found the most meaningful “ah ha” moments in discipleship have happened when we
are doing ministry from the apartment on the Uganda Christian University
campus. The apartment has become our “home
away from home” and also is a place to show hospitality to current and former
students, faculty and staff, local and international pastors, and ministry partners.
On an average day you might find us in the early morning at the Honors College sharing a devotional with 15-20 students or later having students drop by between classes for a muffin, warm from the oven. In the afternoon we schedule appointment averaging 2 hours each to meet with students who want to discuss their careers, develop their CVs/Resumes or to discuss relationship issues. When dinner comes around you find all of us cooking, sometimes with students helping us because they want to learn how to cook on western appliances. We have small dinner parties almost every night to reconnect with university staff members, ministry partners like Navigator leaders and their spouses who need some pampering. Many times you find 20 budding law students or honors students huddled in the small sitting room watching a Christian movie, eating popcorn…ready to discuss how the theme is relevant to their lives.

The common thread is one on one chats about what the Lord is
doing in our lives. Whether it is
evaluation our dreams in the future with God’s guidance, encouraging each other
in prayer, developing our God-given problem-solving skills to developing a business
plan or just sharing life; it is a rich time of building memories and
sharpening one another biblically.
In the future we will be offering trips for a few people who
might want to participate in lifestyle discipleship on campus. As we develop Kingdom View there will be many
opportunities to join in a variety of activities.
