With Deep Sadness I Share….

A few months ago, on the other side of the world, a set of twins were born… They were teeny, tiny and went to live in an orphanage soon after birth. I wrote about them here. I know many of you prayed for the twins and several of you have asked from time to time …

Two Worlds…His and Ours

As he was handed the package of crackers by the April GO Team members, he couldn’t bite into them fast enough. We aren’t even sure if he knew that the wrapper was a wrapper, or if he thought it was all  part of the food or if he just didn’t care, he was *that* hungry….

Feeling Pampered

There’s a wee little miracle-girl laying beside me squealing, giggling, kicking, “talking” and gently rubbing my leg…{and she’s been doing it since somewhere around 1:45 am}.  Jet lag has had me up as well…and so I’ve been awake since 1:15am.   Clearly little Miss Ruby is happy her mommy is home and her mommy is…

Thoughts From My Heart

The April 2013 GO Team had the privilege of going to the Nile  last week.   Most of our teams end up there.  It is always such an exhilarating sight for my soul,  personally speaking. There is something about knowing that the great prophet and  leader of the Jewish nation,  Moses, once lay in a basket…

The Streets

She said she was ten years old.   With strained difficulty she had tried to get to where we were handing out food. As she struggled to walk,  Emma looked toward the young girl’s foot, no wonder she was hobbling – her foot was completely mangled. In fact it was hard to recognize that it…

Storms

We were just outside Emma’s new home doing wash. We hung it all across the lines and came into the house. About 15 minutes later, this was the sky. Storm clouds are rolling in and the wind has arrived. At the same time, our hearts are heavy with the ‘storms’ around the  world.  A terrorist…

Little S…

We were more than relieved to find S still alive when  we arrived to check in this morning. Jody and I knew that it was only the prayers of God’s people  that had sustained sweet S through the night. We took off their clothes and put the twins against each other… immediately the bigger S…

An Itty-Bitty Request…

As with each team we bring to Uganda, we spend time at different types of ministries to  expose each team member to different types of ministry here in Uganda. Our team’s path crossed a teenie-tiny newborn set of twins.  We have been praying and loving on them. They are so tiny and today we noticed…

Meet This Little Treasure

Today we had the privilege of going to Jjinja and  spending the day with some of the most precious treasures in the world. One was a teeny-tiny girl who reminded me so much of our Ruby-girl that I actually gasped when I saw her. Isn’t she so beautiful? Her name is Irene. I was able…
