Exciting Projects

Hi Again!

Just a quick update for the Uganda team to share a few more of our experiences/projects. Yesterday morning the team attended 2 church services at Pastor Simon-Peter and Pastor Robert's churches. The worship music was lively and was great to hear the voices of Africans praising God. We saw a performance by the children's choir which was amazing! After that we spent the afternoon at Damali's "Sonrise" Baby House. She has nine beautiful children in her care and the team spent time with them during a feeding and going on a walk. Today, Monday, the team travelled to Pastor Robert's school where Dan and Steve joined the 550 students as they met up with other primary school's for a sports day. The rest of the team will be heading to Baby Justine's shortly and this evening we will attend a dedication ceremony back at "Sonrise"Baby House. It is an amazing country with extremely welcoming people. Thank you for reading this blog and please tell your friends and family how to access it for further updates.

Yours in Service,
The Uganda July 2009 Team

Hey team,

It’s great to hear that things have gotten off to a good start. I can hear the singing and praising all the way back here at home. I get goose bumps just thinking about it. What a great testament to our God. They sure know how to worship God with such open hearts. Awesome! Brad, you should consider recording the singing sometime - it would be great! Damali sure has been able to get Sonrise going in a very short time span and it is wonderful to hear that she already has nine children. It is hard to put it all in perspective isn't it when you consider how much need there is. She is doing such great work for God's children. Talked to Bob briefly yesterday and was glad to hear how well the Pastoral training went with the Ian, John and the pastors team. Thanks so much for blogging. We are thinking and praying for the team each day and look forward to hearing more. Hopefully everyone has started to settle in.

p.s. - Brad - I hope you brought a flash light or maybe you can find mine!!!

Blessings,

Dave

We are glad that all is going well and that you are settling in OK. Wondered if you had encountered any spiders yet??
Just wanted to let you know that your sister is enjoying her own space and you may have a hard time evicting her once you return.
Take care, you and the team are in our prayers.
