A taste of Kampala


This morning at church I had an experience that would undoubtedly not occur in Canada. My friend Yosia and I decided to go to Watoto Church (formerly known as KPC – Kampala Pentecostal Church). We arrived late and so were ushered into the overflow section which is outside in a tin-roofed, tent-sided structure; there we watched the service on a large screen.


As the sermon was underway, I suddenly felt something soft brush the underside of my left foot. Startled, I pulled my foot back to find a stray cat casually standing there gazing at me with its beautiful lime green eyes. “Meow, meow”, it quietly uttered. Oh goodness! I couldn’t help but laugh. The cat made his way down the row and then later came back to lie grooming itself underneath Yosia’s chair. (See photo.)


I have had to chase a chicken out of the church at one of our Bible conferences. And at another church, one of the ladies took it upon herself to leave her chair to scare off the crow that was sitting on the church wall disrupting the service. But a cat in church? Well, why not I guess? :)
