SELINSGROVE, Pa. — A group of young missionaries from central Pennsylvania who had gone to Uganda to help build a wall around a church and school and experience Africa firsthand were rocked by blasts that injured six of them, a pastor said today.

The Rev. Kathleen Kind of the Christ Community Church in Selinsgrove said none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, though one missionary suffered serious leg injuries in the explosions Sunday that killed at least 74 people.

"The nature of the trip was to work with our sister congregation in Uganda," said Kind, who added that the missionaries have been in contact with their families. "The community of faith here is actively praying for these persons."

Three of the injured were from her church and the other three were from other churches in the area, she said. They were part of a group of about 14 who had traveled to Uganda for a mission last month and were supposed to have returned today.

Kind said the group on the missionary trip has also set up a website — http://uganda2010.editme.com/ — updating the conditions of the injured.

According to a website, the injured missionaries include Emily Kerstetter, Kris Sledge, Pam Kramer and Thomas Kramer.

"That’s all we know," Kind said. "We don’t know any other details.”

Sledge, 18, said from his hospital bed in Uganda that he was "just glad to be alive.”

Police in Uganda believe an al-Qaida-linked group is behind the blasts. The deadliest attack occurred at a rugby club as people watched the World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands on a large-screen TV outdoors. The second blast hit at an Ethiopian restaurant.

One of the members of the missionary team, Lori Ssebulime, told The Associated Press the members had arrived early at the restaurant for dinner and to get good seats to view the match.

"We got there early so we could be near the screen," she told AP. "The blast happened. It was total chaos. I fell over backwards. Everything was gray.”

She said she scrambled around the bodies and found Emily Kerstetter, 16, and got her inside a minivan.

"Emily was rolling around in a pool of blood screaming," she said.

The explosions have shattered her sense of well-being.

"I love Uganda. I can’t believe it happened here," she said. "I am totally in shock. I feel like I’m in a dream floating.”
