Dear Friends and Family –
We are humbled and honored at the generosity and support from
each of you for the trip to Uganda.
THANK YOU! Knowing you are all
supportive and praying for us makes us feel as if you all are traveling with
us. We have learned so much through this process and it has reinforced the reality that
we are all in this together. This truth
is at the core of our purpose for going.
Thanks to the generosity of friends and family of each of the 13 members
of our team, almost $8,000 of the $10,000 needed to complete the next phase of
the church/community center has been raised. These contributions are currently
being used to purchase supplies to support the work already under way.
We will be leaving for Kampala Tuesday June 17th and will travel to Bukigai on Thursday June 19th. So far, we anticipate our days will be spent
assisting with construction of the church/community center, conducting art and
parenting classes with families, and taking a couple day trips to other
churches in the region. We are also
expecting the unexpected. Electricity
and internet connection will be spotty, so our updates may be infrequent while
we are there. Please be assured that we
will be taking a lot of photos and videos, and writing about our
experience. It just might take a while
to get them to you. We hope all of your
summer beginnings are wonderful and look forward to telling you all about the
trip upon our return.
With much love and appreciation,
The Team
