Round 3

I leave tomorrow morning for Uganda. Some of my friends joke that last year I helped cure AIDS while there. This year, they joke that the plan is to put a system in place that will continually purify all of their water. If only! But I am really excited about this year's trip. I feel like the past two years I have just been getting my feet wet but this year, I'm ready to jump in all the way. I want to love on the Ugandans and listen to their stories but most of all I want to tell them about the real reason we are all there...that the Jesus they have heard about is real and loves them and wants to have a personal relationship with them. All the medicine in the world cannot cure their need for a Savior.

Please pray for our team as we minister to the sick and dying. Pray that the enemy would be bound from the clinic and surrounding areas (last year, the spiritual warfare was easily felt). Pray that the Gospel would fall on open ears and open hearts. Pray for health for the team; some are going with family issues and health issues that could interfere if allowed to do so. Pray for the Lord to do a work in each of our hearts, giving us a passion for Christ and a passion for His children. I am so excited!!!
