I met Joseph Elotu when on our first mission trip to Kayango uganda. He is such a wise and gentle man, who does care for the children and the progress with the orpanages there. WE learned so much from him and were impressed with his integrity and love for Christ. I miss listening to him..

Joseph, a.k.a. the Chairman, is a man dear to my heart and our church, The River. I met him this past January on a trip to Oditel and the bond we have with him is amazing. He is compassionate, wise and a great presence to learn from and be around. Blessings to you Joseph!
