I am watching this in 2021 and remembering my trip to Uganda to visit J.J and the Congregation. We also met with other members of the co-op. I don't know of it is still going, but it was and is a beautiful concept

I support this work.

Everybody wonders if homosexuality is included in inclusive groups. Wish they wouldn't. No need for persecution or promotion of that when there are far more important issues at stake like the murder of people in the name of religion. This, the true religious spirit, combined with the breakfast of champions, coffee, is where it really seems to be at. Hope they achieve their goals as speedily as God wills it.
