The walk
One man, one country, one church.
Our brother Shyaka — Shyaka Mbanda — crossed Uganda on foot, from Akright City in Kampala to Kiburara in the Rwenzori foothills of Kasese. It was not his first long walk for a cause. Every kilometre was meant to move people who will never see the road, but who can help finish what waits at the end of it.

Carry it further
You can't walk 400 km. You can carry a hundred steps.
And you can send this to someone who would carry a hundred more. That is how a road gets finished — and how a church does.
