My dear family and friends, the team and I have arrived safely in Uganda। We were blessed with an unexpected stay in a hotel during our long layover in Dubai (which means another stamp in my passport!)। So now we are well rested and hopefully will be able to have the energy for the New Year’s Eve overnight celebration at the Children’s Home tonight। Several of the local churches are gathering together to praise the Father for how he has been at work this past year and to greet the New Year worshiping his Holy name and dedicating the coming year to Him। I can hardly wait to see the kids. It is about all I can do to wait patiently for our time to go to the Home tonight. I am aching to see all those precious faces again. In the mean time we have had a great time of devotions with the hotel staff (one of my favourite things about coming to Jinja, Uganda) and we will spend the rest of the morning preparing the lessons and activities that God would have us do with the kids at the home. For those of you who have partnered with this mission in prayer; our team would appreciate prayer as we prepare our lessons to do with the kids. God has laid it upon my heart to speak Truth to the children, for they live in such darkness and the Truth of God’s word brings light and hope. Pray that we are sensitive to the leading of the Holy Sprit that we may know the scriptures and lessons and stories that would touch their hearts the most and advance God’s Kingdom. Also be in prayer that each of the team members would encounter God in a real and dynamic way so that we each have a renewed passion to share the love of Christ and make an impact on other’s lives for eternity as we seek to worship our King and Saviour.
