Africa!

Hello,

Today is new day and that is no more apparent than here in Uganda! With each new day comes a new lesson, not only are the children learning through VBS but we are also learning so much from them. Their joy and love is very humbling, that combined with their overwhelming trust in the Lord has been such an encouragement, especially for a group who is starting to feel the weight of the heat and travel. So please continue to pray for patience and understanding with each other as we enter into a completely new level of friendship. Also another quick prayer request was brought to me in my devotion time through a verse, Ecclesiastes 1:18;

For in much wisdom is much grief,
and he who increases knowledge
increases sorrow.

This verse has taken on new meaning as we have gone new places and seen new and saddening sights. The number of people here is incredible, and we are seeing portions of an extremely diverse and dynamic culture we could have never imagined. Seeing all this and learning at such an accelerated rate it is easy to get overwhelmed and feel sorry for the children and their condition. But that is not the reason we are here. There is so much joy, thankfulness and hope here, that needs to be our focus! Only with the help of the Lord and your continuous prayers will we be able to make the most of the short amount of time we will be here. I apologize for how short this post is but I promise many stories, pictures and videos when we return! Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

God Bless,

Andrew
