Uganda Again!

Precious Ugandan Woman Reading with her Readers
Another great adventure lies before us!  After our trip last February, so many of you, my friends,
supported our effort to gather Readers for Readers.  We were able to send many readers to Uganda when Kyle (our team leader and Tays' biological uncle) returned in May and several dozen went to the Charlotte Men's Shelter in June.  During June, Kyle made a decision to return to Uganda in early December along with his dad John Walter.  After much prayer and consideration, we decided it would be an opportune time for Taylor Anne and myself to join John and Kyle and return to Uganda to continue the work that has begun especially in the village of Buwooya.   Taylor Anne's heart is for the orphans and now she will get to experience first hand the beautiful people and children of Uganda.  To travel and experience these times with her biological grandfather and uncle is nothing short of a miracle from God's hand.    I've spent a lot of time this summer praying at a certain tree in the woods behind our home.  I affectionately call it "my Ugandan tree" for there I continue to have the privilege to pray over the precious friends and children we met.  Although the destination is Entebbe Uganda in December, the destination is not the only goal; it includes the process of walking each day before that time and watching how the details of this trip come together.  Documenting each step helps me to see how God cares about the details of our lives and has so much to teach us about trusting Him, EACH DAY and not just our arrival in Entebbe.  If you are a praying person, would you pray for us right now, that God would prepare our hearts and we would have wisdom regarding tickets, flights, scheduling and costs.  This is a difficult trip physically so we need to prepare for what lies ahead.  If you would like to help in any way, here's a link to our fund raising efforts and some items we would like to take: http://www.agcnc.org/missiontrips.html
