So, here's the deal. I'm going to Africa. And....there you have it!
Yes, I know I've been sitting on this news publicly for a while now as it's taken a lot of personal reflection, prayer, worrying about cost, who's going to keep the world spinning while I'm away, etc. HOWEVER, apparently people go on trips all the time without major catastrophes.
That being said. I'm going to Africa. Uganda to be specific.
WHO - Check out www.adoptuganda.com. This group is amazing and the family behind it is even more incredible. Their heart for missions, spreading hope and love across the globe, is really contagious.WHAT - We'll be primarily stationed in Busia working closely with the people in that village. My position will be helping local women learn how to work with the children in a church setting....something that sounds so basic to anyone around these parts, right? We'll also be working with the orphanage in addition to the local church congregation. So, so many needs there....all over. Clean water, medicine...that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Just curious--are you bringing back a baby with you?
ReplyDeleteHa! No....we're working with the local church congregation & orphanage. Although, I'm sure by the end of the two weeks,I'll want to squeeze a couple in my carry-on!
