Hello friends and family!
I had the beginnings of a regular newsletter update, but time has evaporated and I am reducing it to a quick note. Mike and I are leaving for Uganda today. We have quite the mission team with us today. We have team members from Georgia, Utah, Illinois, and Bolivia! We have doctors, pharmacists, nurses, others adults without medical backgrounds, college students, and a pastor. Our ages range from early 20's to 60's. I know God has put this team together and I am so excited to see what HE does through us!
Mike and the team will be doing medical clinics and ministry at different bush villages each day beginning on Saturday. During these clinics, we will be having evangelism and childrens' ministry going on, possibly doing some home visits, and prayer ministry. I will be working at our school in Busia each day delivering care packages to the orphaned and needy children. We also hope to show the Jesus film in some of the villages at night.
I will try to email updates as I can. Electricity and internet is not always available. We will be coming home on March 19th and I will definitely send out an update then! I try to post updates on Facebook or send out emails as well.
Helping Hands has a blog you can also follow: http://hhfmnews.blogspot.com.
Thank you all for your faithful prayers and support! We could not go without you!
Sarah, I know this is probably horrible timing, and I will try and repost this comment after you guys return, but I have been looking and praying for a medical missions opportunity. I just spoke with someone about this yesterday actually. I am a nurse and was wondering if you will be leading more of these kinds of trips? If so I am interested in joining you guys. Whenever is convenient for you, can you give me some information on how to join you guys or if you even could use me? Thanks, girl

I hope your trip is very fruitful. I am praying for you!
ReplyDeleteHi Falyn! We would love to have you come on a trip with us! We usually have trips to Uganda 2 or 3 times a year - possibly more. I think we have some teams coming in September and October. We will talk soon!
