There are as many roads that have brought us here as there are team members but we are packed and ready to go! Steve and Debbie and Emilie are already on the ground in Uganda, and the rest of the 14 of us are on our way! We've been preparing for months and for me personally, this call has been on my heart for years, so in some ways, it is hard to believe that we are actually going to Africa! The veterans among us are excited to return to friends and familiar scenes. The newbies (me being one) are filled with a strange mixture of excitement, wonder and even a little fear. But there is no question about our calling and we are beyond thrilled to be answering. To be able to have just a small part in sharing the love we have received is more than a privilege.
What will we do there? Whatever God wants us to...but we are prepared for medical clinics, VBS, soccer camps, feeding and loving on children and fellow believers who live across the world and share the love of the same Saviour.
What will we see and experience? The darkness of a land where many need to see the Light. I am guessing we will be amazed, frightened, loved, tired, hot, moved and changed, I pray.
Pray for the safety of our bodies and supplies as we leave Charlotte tomorrow. Pray for the health of our hearts and souls as we prepare to be empty vessels for the Father to use in the lives of those He loves.
Stay tuned for more when we hit the ground....running!
