A Complete Stranger’s Words

The other day there was something heavy on our hearts.  We didn’t sleep much.  The night passed slowly as I lay awake most of it earnestly praying, every few minutes slipping on the light of my cell to read a few verses in my Bible, pondering the situation and going back to praying some more……

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…

Twins

The internet connection was out tonight but is back on.. Heading to bed, it’s after midnight, but I was so frustrated that the internet was not working as I  wanted to update all who have been praying. The twins are both still alive –  please continue to pray! Rejoicing that the twins are still alive…

I wrote a post about a street boy and posted it to the   International Voice of the Orphan blog, but I would be remiss not to mention it here. The story of one boy, a team of people from different ministries, all working together to minister to one precious little boy. You can find…

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…
