I'm still getting used to this idea. Bees as ministry. But this week bees are opening up more doors to impact the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ here in Adjumani. Over the last year and a half, Eli has been experimenting with bee keeping, harvesting their honey, and making products like lotion with the beeswax. He's discovered that a profit can truly be made and this is an idea he has to help support pastors' families in ministry - a supplemental income to help pay for their kids' education, food, etc.
Eli's moved around to different places in our district where people are raising bees and have a honey business and as he learns more, he wants to share that with others. So this week it's all culminating in a training going on, taught by a team of 3 beekeepers from South Carolina. The American beekeepers are learning from the Ugandan beekeepers and vice versa. We're excited to see where God takes this!
