Uganda - Village of Hope

Today is our last day on site working on the site. It seems to have gone so fast. Yesterday we got to the top of window height on the 3rd house which was our goal, and the slab for the 4th house was completed! We're actually pretty impressed with ourselves considering we don't have a builder amongst us! The task of getting something like this done together is such a great team building activity, and seeing God work amongst us and through us is precious. Apart from building, we've been busy with a few other things too. We went down to the Nile river at sunset to baptize Teagan. That was amazing! Teagan has felt for a while that God was calling her to make a firm decision to live for Him, and that he was asking her to be baptized. It was a great team event. We worshipped on the banks for half an hour, then got into the water to baptize Teagan, finishing off with prayers, scriptures and words for her. We also went to a local hospital to pray for and encourage the sick and wounded. Pretty confronting! We went to the local primary school that our children go to, to do the morning devotions. Boy can those kids worship and pray! Last night we went to the high school to meet with the young people there and to have supper with them. We finished off the evening with them in their prayer and worship time. These young people feel so priviliged to go to school. They get up at 4.30 am to have a cup of tea and have personal devotions, they study from 5.30 till 7.30 when class starts. School goes ti,, 4.30pm, then they have supper at 6.30, prayers at 7.00 till 7.30 then study till 10pm. And they love it!!! Humbling.

But, it wasn't all work. We went white water rafting on the Nile for a day on Thursday too. that was huge fun, and we all made it back whole!

Tomorrow we're off to a local church to preach and worship with them, then it's pack our bags for the trip to Murchison Falls early Monday morning. Supper and devotions with our children tomorrow evening will be our final time with them..... It'll be sad for us all. We have had such a great connection with the children and the mothers......

Well, for now that's the Team 6 update.... Check out just a few photos to get a small impression.

Blessings from Team 6 in Uganda!
