The Agora Church formed a special missions committee in 2008 under the leadership of Kate Dewhurst, that developed a relationship with a fledgling Christian school in Buwate, Uganda, called “Hope of Good Future Primary School.” Dr. Walter F. Schlech acted as the correspondent and agent between the church and their contacts, Elliot and Sarah, in Uganda. These photographs come from this mission relationship.
