Posts for the last two weeks of our work in Uganda were scheduled to go out before we left the U.S. based upon our schedule for the mission trip and what we believed would be accomplished while we were there. During the last couple of days in Uganda, it became obvious to us that the first unit of Hope Children’s Village would not be completed while we were there, and the children would not be able to move in. However, the unit should be complete within the next week or so, and we are very excited about future plans. We were able to meet the children and spend a whole day playing with them and getting to know them. On our final Sunday in Uganda, we had a special time of dedication and prayer for the children and widows who will move in soon, and also for all those who will be housed on the property in years to come. God’s presence was very near as we stood inside the partially finished home and joined hands with the Ugandans to ask God’s blessing on this great work. Please continue to pray for the completion of the first unit and all funds necessary to make it a reality.
