We made it!! And our first tastes of Uganda have been oh-so-sweet 🙂 Our first full day here has been filled with rest and good company. We’ve had so much fun getting to know each other as we recover from jet lag and get settled in. Our ministry contacts are taking such good care of us and make sure we’re nice and comfy for the next couple of weeks!  We received a briefing on the ministry today and are so excited to jump in and get our hands dirty starting tomorrow! Each one of these girls is BURSTING to share some Jesus love with these awesome people of Uganda! Thanks to...

Just talked with Macey, one of the team leaders and she updated me on the team Uganda: The girls are doing great! Today they rested, took naps, unpacked, and got settled into their home for the next 3 weeks. A very relaxing day for sure! Tomorrow, the plan is to meet with the local pastor that they are working with and start ministry! The girls are super excited and expectant of what’s to come! More updates from the team coming soon!  Thank you for your prayers and support for this team! ElizabethAmbassador Field Support

There were some technical difficulties involved along with a touch of forgetfulness. Sorry Jo-Jo.* Uganda Do It      With only a few days left, I’m trying my hardest to savor each moment that we have left here. As I try so desperately to take it all in, I can’t help but wonder how I’m going to explain this place to my family and friends at home. After thinking for about a week...

Thank you so much for following us on here. It was a life changing trip for everyone involved. We each walked away learning something. Thank you for all of your prayers that you sent up on our behalf. We are thankful for each one of them.  Below are a few pictures. To see more ask one of the girls. I know that each one would love to tell you all about their experience in Uganda. One of the many times we taught the kiddos new songs and dances. Courtney teaching a bible story. Crossing Lake Victoria in a boat. The children always sang for us. Eating Americn in Africa. May have been a...

This trip has had more ups and downs than I can explain to you. Living here in Bugiri, Uganda had been an experience I could have never imagined. It’s beautiful, strange, mysterious, broken yet healing, and most of all, in need of what we, those who follow Jesus, have to offer: the love the Father has given to us. When we are exhausted, and sticky and smelly and hungry, we remember that love, and push on. Our hope is this: In running the race with diligence we will see the light through the cracks, we will dance upon injustice, and we will encourage those who are sick to “Get...

It seems like every country I travel to, the children have a saying that goes along with their country.  In Nairobi, Kenya it was “Mzungu, Mzungu, How are you? How are you?”  In Cebu they greeted us with a hand to the forehead and a “Hello Ate!” Here in Uganda, along with the Mzungu’s and the How are yous, the kids like to say Bye-eee, Bye-eee making a special emphasis on the eee :o)  It is, of course, very cute! Well now it is our time to say Bye-eee and we will be off.  Today we are spending the day cleaning and debriefing as a team. ...
