Hello faithful blog followers...have no fear...we are in Kenya for the rest of the week but we will return with stories that will make your wait worthwhile....=)
After a long year of planning and prayer, an amazing opportunity opened up for us at an orphanage in southern Uganda called L'esperance. L'esperance is an Adventist owned orphanage of kids separated from their parents as a result of health reasons, poverty, or political strife. The name of this orphanage means Hope and is our aspiration to give hope to the children of Uganda in the 5 months we will be serving there.
The need is enormous and the resources are few. We will be the first student missionaries at this location so our tasks are varied. The majority of our efforts will go towards establishing a framework for future missionaries to join by building housing, water systems, and personal relationships. The Ugandans are excitingly anticipating our arrival and we also are eager to begin our service.
Our journey to this point has already been an incredible testament to the will of God and we have been awed by the many doors He has opened for us. All that is left is the last leg of the journey and this is where we need your help!
"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." -Luke 10:2
