Team 3 are there and safe with all luggage!!

Praise God! Team 3 have arrived in Uganda and are on the bus on their way to Jinja safe and sound and with ALL their luggage. We hope its not prophetic but the shovels were the first piece of luggage to come out!! Here are some comments and photos from their stopover in Hong Kong....

Stage 1 of the flight has gone well. There was lots of room on the plane so we could all stretch out and get some rest. Everyone is excited that it is really happening now, only a few hours (well 18 or so) and we will be in Uganda ready to meet up with team 2 and get started....

more...prayer points too
