Sadly our last full day...

Well its Friday!!! and yes Sunday is coming and we will be home. Another Uganda experince almost ended, but what an amazing week it has been, we have practically done all the things on our list BUT its all the stuff not on our list that has been amazing - what an AWESOME GOD we worship and yet again it has been reconfirmed to me that we are the priviledged ones to be CHOSEN BY GOD to be used in this work. This is so not our plan or our achievement it is GOD's - I will never ever forget that nor will I ever take any credit for anything that has been done here. Hopebuilders is a work of God and it is HIS HOPE and we are HIS chosen BUILDERS. Thank you for all your encouragement and prayers, it is humbling to be here representing ALL OF YOU.

We had the priviledge of speaking on BAMBOO FM probably the second largest radio station in Jinja which reaches most of the eastern region and Kenya - we had a number of callers who wanted to encourage us and also one who wanted to partner with us.. Joel also managed to get in a "Go Manchester United".

One of our fantastic friends over here who has helped us a lot with government processes and stood with us in paryer, is Pastor Moses, well his mother passed away on Wednesday - so please pray for him and his family as the have the burial today (Friday).

Today we will also be taking all the kids out on an outing - we will be using the Hopebuilders bus and we will take them to a park where they can play and enjoy some sodas and who knows what else. It should be a lot fun. Please also pray for soem of the kids who are not quite well, some have malaria and one also has typhoid - all are undergoing treatment and we are already seeing some improvement. Most of these illnesses were with the kids when they came to us - so it is clear that they may have not gotten much treatment had they have not come into our homes - again God's timing for these kids has been awesome. Both of our mothers Agnes and Lois truly amazing with the children - they have been singing praise songs with them and praying - which is awesome given that some of the children have come from muslim homes - keep praying.

We have made some great friendships over here - we would like to greet all our friends at STEPPING STONES and also want to encourage the work of SOUP - friends from Adelaide.

It will be hard to say goodbye but the blessings is knowing that God has His hand over and under and around the homes and all that are in them. We look forward to seeing you all soon.
