On Friday the 30th Aug, Bishop Charles and Stephen Maxwell visited with members of Grace Lutheran, San Marcos who have been supporting Hope Lutheran Primary School in Bufuula. They hosted a dinner and presented a quilt to Bishop Charles for his family back home.
That Sunday, they worshiped at all 3 services of Bethany Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas on 1 September. During all the services, Bishop Charles was asked to come forward so that the LCU and its ministry could be prayed over by the pastor. In addition, a presentation was given during the Bible Class hour to give a history of the LCU to a congregation that was previously not exposed to the LCU and its ministries.
