Gratitude and Support

Many of you have been beyond generous with your financial contributions, prayers, purchasing delicious cakes, bidding at auctions, giving medical supplies, and much much more.  We can't thank you enough for this.  Please know that you have helped make this trip possible for us.  The Lord has provided once again!

THANK YOU!!!

So what exactly will we be doing in Uganda??  Well, for starters we will be at an orphanage loving the children who live and/or attend school there (around 45 children live there with 30 coming in for school from the neighboring villages).  The children and families will participate in vacation bible school each day by singing songs, making crafts, listening to stories, and learning about our King.  We hope to see many smiles and hearts radiating with his light!  Our team will also take part in helping to build/complete two dorms for the orphanage for more children to live and attend the school.  I'm sure there will be many other projects for us when we arrive!

In addition to eleven people and their personal luggage being unloaded from the bus, we each pack a suitcase to stay at the orphanage with a variety of supplies.  This is where we could use YOUR help!  Below are lists of items that William at the orphanage has shared with us.  We would like to do all we can to provide what is needed.  Please contact a team member or comment below so we can let you know where to deliver the supplies.
