Judith was describing to a colleague a game she was planning to use with the children in the Hayashi Youth Group. "We often used this game with our Sunday School back in the UK" said Judith. William a member of staff and a pastor in one of the local churches looked up in surprise. "You use games in sunday school ?" The concept seemed very alien to him. Having been in churches where children – who easily make up more than half of the congreagation – are expected to sit through an entire service including perhaps an hour long sermon, it is not surprising why the idea of a game was so novel. Clearly there is a big gap in reaching out to children. A team from St Marys in London visit Kiwoko each year. They work alongside the hospital Mission Team to support, encourage and provide training. This year one of the team – Emily – who is a teacher was able to provide some training for Mission Team members and church leaders on creative ways to share the gospel with children. In a country where 50% of the population are under the age of 15 the need to reach out to children is paramount. Please pray for:

access and availability of sunday school material – there is very little available in Luganda the hospital mission team as they seek to implement the training they received the CMS Ireland summer team coming out in August to lead two childrens' outreaches
