My passion

When we stepped off the plane in Uganda the air was cool (about 65-70 degrees) and there was a feeling of freedom. We got to catch up on much needed rest and try and rid ourselves of sickness. We had a nice place to stay and great hosts and a wonderful cook, Peter.

The landscape of Africa is absolutly breath taking! Its lush and green and mountainous. Practically everything you can imagine is grown in Uganda. Pineapples, mangos, rice, beans, coffee, corn, wheat, bananas and so much more.

While we were in Uganda, we painted a kindergarten at a childrens home in a village. It was tedious work but allowed us to serve the staff at the childrens home. It made me thankful for all those who do manuel labor for a living and allowed me to serve in a way I wouldn’t normally be inclined to serve. We didn’t get to interact with the kids much but I did get to see a well run and thriving orphange! It was such a contrast from India and was an encouragement to know the call the lord placed on my heart in India was possible!!!

I haven’t written on this so let me fill you in. The last day I was in India my heart broke for those kids. I’d come to know them by name and had lived with them and knew their hearts and some of their stories. These are the kids no one wants, the untouchables, children of lepors and prostitutes, the ones that are left on the side of the street to die. That made me love them even more and want to help provide them with basic necessities. Emmanuel, the orphanage where they live, truely is home to them but the conditions are still harsh. They have three rice meals a day- praise God, but they are lacking nutrition that comes from protein. This is a necessity for growing children. They would go for days without water, but you would never know it because they trust in the Lord to provide for their needs. I think it’s amazing that the Lord chooses to use us to minister and care for others. There is a great need in India and specifically at this orphanage: clothes, shoes, bibles, medical care, the list goes on and on.

If you are interested and want to know more about how the Lord is moving in my heart regarding India or want to know how to give financially or want to pray, please please get in contact with me by commenting on this blog post and I will get information to you asap.

I love you all and thank you for allowing me to share how the Lord is moving around the world!!! What a mighty God we serve!!!!!!! WHOOP!!

John 4:13 and 14 is a verse I claim for India. It says: “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

From the richest of rich to the poorest of poor will eventually thirst again, the Lord is the only one who can satisfy. He promises that those who choose to follow him will never thirst again but have eternal life!!! This is great news!!! Praise Jesus!!
