Love for Uganda

I have a very dear friend.  Her name is Jami and we talk nearly every day.  Well....me, her and 7 other ladies via a group text. They are one of my greatest sources of encouragement, inspiration and entertainment.  I love them dearly and have been so blessed this past year to be a part of seeing and praying for God to move in all of our lives.  We've walked with each other through tragedy, illness, death, job decisions, parenting, pregnancy, .....you name it.... we've either went through it or prayed for the others going through it..  They have been such a blessing to me.

Well the news of Jami's hubby, Bill, going to Uganda was no exception.  We were all thrilled for what God was doing and began to pray for God's provision to get him there.  I can't wait to see and hear bout what God is doing in Uganda!  You can be a part of it too.  Please pray for the team that is going this summer.  You can read about all the details below in Jami's post.  And please make a donation towards the trip.....you could possibly win some amazing prizes made with love by some incredible women.

Happy Monday Y'all!  I'm turning it over to Jami...

today is the day! the day you get to see all the goodies up for grabs.
aaaand, i'm nervous. there i said it. i feel better already.

if you read my post from last week you know that hubby is part of a mission team going to uganda this summer.

we are thrilled to be able to participate and can not wait to see what the Lord does.

the team will be traveling with children of the nations spending time teaching and loving on children in group homes. they will also be visiting refugee camps, building a laundry facility and planting fruit trees.

the children they will be spending time with have been displaced by AIDS and war.

just the thought of it is heartbreaking to me. so many children with no parents and without a home. i long to look into their little faces. to tell them Jesus loves them. to tell them i love them.

for the time being, however,  i feel called to send my hubby off with as much support and prayer as possible.

will you pray for him and the entire team? pray that everyone they come in contact with will see and feel the love they have come to bring.

we are also in need of financial support. some wonderful friends have rallied behind me to make this fun giveaway possible. i am beyond grateful for and humbled by their support.
