My dear friends, So many
of you supported Taylor Anne and me on our journey to Uganda last December! Both of our lives were changed as I was able
to share this great land and people with Taylor Anne. Our goal was to go back again this December
together and continue this ministry.
After much thought and prayer, I will not be going on this trip in
December (it truly breaks my heart) but Taylor Anne will be going with her Uncle
Kyle Walter and Anastasia who is a teacher at Anderson University.
The trip will include returning to the remote village of
Buwooya and continue the work of building relationships. They will be distributing Bibles as well as
providing teacher training for the teachers at the Buwooya School. I wish you could see this place. Two hundred precious children in a dirt floor
school (see the picture below) No desks or books. Taylor Anne will specifically be working with
the children providing crafts, games, dancing and the love of Christ. They will also have the opportunity to visit Rafiki
Children’s Home and encourage those precious friends in the important work that
they do as well as visit with the children we sponsor and love.
I asked Moses, our friend and local partner, what do you need
for your school? He replied instantly, “we
need books, story books, any books so my students can practice reading. We have
NO books!” I did a book drive just at my
work and received over 100 books for all ages.
Now we want to get those books to Moses during this next trip to help
begin a library at his school in Buwooya.
So how can you help?
First and foremost, would you begin praying for Taylor Anne’s trip, the
team that includes Kyle and Anastasia that God would prepare the way before
them? Secondly, Taylor Anne needs to
raise her support. The estimated cost is
about $2800. Any extra will be used to
help with shipping more of these books for the school in Buwooya.
So how do you give? Over the Edge Missions has graciously
agreed to partner with us to allow donations to be given through this 501C3 ministry. All
gifts are tax deductible.
(Please
make out checks to “Over the Edge Missions” and put “Taylor Anne Wade” on the memo line
as they have other ministries in Uganda) If you need the address, please
send in donations to Over the Edge Missions, 8003 Agape Lane, Waxhaw, NC 28173.
Thanks
again for your consideration and prayers.
Taylor Anne will be our hands and feet in Uganda and I can’t wait to see
how God will use her during this trip.
Blessings,
Patty and Taylor Anne
