Hello everyone....I am writing from a internet cafe here in Gulu. We have now been hee about 2 1/2 days. We have met up with 2 other students here working with us...Bryce(24) and Brynn(19) , though if we could we would switch the blog to 10 hearts 4 uganda..
We spent our first day here planning the program we were going to present to the children. Our heart was really to show them the character of God, that they could find consistency in Him even when visitors come and go and times are rough. We have been to 2 of the camps so far ministering with the children. THey have been so welcoming with their dances and dramas. LAst night we led the bible study for the 19 children living in the safe house with Rose....it seems as if she is a mother to over 400 children. We are very excited to continue spending time and ministering in the camps and around the community. It seems to be rough time for enough food for all the children in the camps, as rainy season is ending many are running out of the food they had stored up and the harvest is not yet ready. Please pray God would provide!!
Everyone has been somewhat healthy....there a still a few stomachs adjusting
But ministy has been awesome..today we began building huts in the villages...one was for a 15 year old girl named Irene....she was in abduction for 4 years before she escaped and had lost her parents and brothers and sisters...she now lives with her aunt and takes care of the children left from her brothers and sisters.....it will a great thing when she can move into her own hut!!
We will update again soon!!!
Chris

ReplyDeleteHello Chris,
ReplyDeleteYou all keep giving! You all are special to have been picked by God! Wow... Jesus says "It is better to than to receive. It must be a life changing experience to receive the spiritual newness of this journey. You will have many stories to tell your children. I look foward to that day. I pray for you all daily. Maybe that one prayer will save another life....
I love you,
Mommy
