Hello From Uganda!

Hello Family and Friends!

We arrived in Uganda on Monday around 10:45 local time and our travel finally ended as we arrived at our guest house at 2 am. When it was all said and done, we had travelled for 35 hours. We're grateful that all our travel went smoothly. No lost bags, delayed flights, crazy runs through airports, or turbulent flights. The Lord was really good to us!

We spent our first day in country training with the YFC Uganda team at their facility here in Matuga. We connected with team well, learned some sweet dance moves, practiced skits for our school visits, and toured their facility. It was amazing to see all the progress that they have made in building their facilities.

On Wednesday, we had our first school visits. We visited three schools. Two of them were primary (elementary) schools and the other was a secondary school. Our teams shared the gospel via skits and testimonies while also entertaining students with their amazing dance skills. It was a good day!

We'll be visiting three more schools tomorrow. Along with that, Wendy will be taking a team of students to minister to the girls in the Mirembe house at YFC. Please pray for rest for our team (there is a rooster here who thinks the sunrises at 2am), health for our team, further connection with the YFC team, and most importantly, a confidence in God's provision that will lead to boldness as we share and serve.

Thank you for your support! We'll be sharing more in a few days!

 Hello Everyone, We got back from Safari last night and got to serve at Christian Revival Center and host a Soccer tournament at YFC today. Safari was spectacular ( not even lion about it ). We were able to see lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards, and much more. We also had a great boat cruise on the Nile River and saw a ton of crocs and hippos. We would in denial if we said we didn't enjoy our time on the Nile.  At Christian Revival Center (a local church in the area) we helped install windows in their building. It was a fairly pane-less project. We will be attending church at CRC tomorrow and Chris will be preaching. I bet he would appreciate your prayers.  The soccer (or football as the locals call it) tournament was an outreach to the different teams in the area. We kicked off the tournament with devo and later competed in the tournament itself. Our YFC/CCPC team fought valiantly, but ultimately lost in penalty kicks. We had a ball . We know we Afri-CAN have a great end to t

 Hello Families and Friends! We've had a busy last few days. In the last 2 days we've done programs at 7 schools and had part of our team visit with the girls at the Mirembe House and Subi Home. The team has done an amazing job at connecting with the Ugandan team and serving in skits, sharing testimonies, and loving people well. We'll have longer post (from one our students!) coming tomorrow. In the meantime enjoy a few pictures of our school visits today.
