Nkumba University

After the sunday worship, I and Missionary Mark Yoon had to leave for the Entebe Airport. It is about one hour of driving distance from the Makerere UBF center to the airport, if there is no traffic.

Dr. Samuel Yoo arranged Shepherd Daniel to give us a ride to the airport.


On the way, I struck up a conversation with Daniel. Here is a brief story of Daniel's life in the Lord.

He was born and grew up at Kampala, Chiambogo area. His parents are Catholic, and they work as staff members at the Chiambogo University.

During his second year at the Chiambogo, studing civil engineering, one of his close childhood frlends invited him to a Bible study. At first he was reluctant, but since he grew up with his friend from childhood all the way to his collelge years in the same neighborhood. out of curiosity he accepted the invitation.

Dr. Samuel Yoo led the Genesis Bible study. Genesis lesson 2, the Bible study on the Garden of Eden deeply touched his heart.

Study moved him so much that since then he never missed the Genesis study.

One day while he was seated underneath a tree on campus, he was deeply meditating on what he learend on Genesis 2. Then he met Kennedy. He invited him to the Bible study. Now brother Kennedy works as a Chiambogo UBF webmaster.

He lives near Nkumba university. From his place to Chiambogo University it takes about an hour by car.

He has deep respect for Dr. Samuel Yoo. Due to work as a civil engineer he used to be late to the Bible study appointments. Yet, Dr. Samuel Yoo was always there on time. Dr. Samuel Yoo serves sunday worship messages faithfully. He also has many sheep to teach the Bible. "Yet, he is always faithful to Bible study appointments", says Daniel.

Now that Daniel grew up as a shepherd, he struggles to follow Dr. Samuel's example.

Once upon a time because his job site was about 250 kms away, as a civil engineer working on a dam project he had to drive 500 kms round trip every weekend, so he could attend the sunday worship.

Nowadays he was given a new blessing that is to pioneer NU, together with Shepherd Patrick Ogwang. He has two sheep at Chiambogo. Although he lives at a place near NU, he visits Chiambogo twice - Wednesday and Sunday. On Wednesdays he goes early to have a Bible study with his sheep at 4:00 p.m. and then attend a leaders' group Bible study at 7:00 pm at Chiambogo UBF center. Sundays he has a worshp at 9 a.m. and then he studies the Bible with his sheep. The remainder of week days, he visits NU to feed sheep.

Since the NU campus is on the way from Kampala to Entebe, we dropped by NU campus, took a picture, and had a prayer meeting. I asked Missionary Mark Yoon lead the prayer meeting that Shepherd Patrick and Shepehrd Daniel would work together, and produce national leaders, to turn the nation to be a kingdom of preists and a holy nation.
