Our Awesome God!!!

Nile River behind Paraa Safari Lodge

Our God is so awesome! He arranged for us to go on Tuesday with Project Hope's first team from here to the airport & then to pick up the second team at the airport on Thursday in Entebbe. This trip included a safari & stay at a great lodge near Murchison Falls. What a treat! We enjoyed spending time with this team from the States so much! (We knew about half of them beforehand. They were a young team & the only male on the team was 16 years old, so that's why we went this trip). And what a variety of things to see, from vegetation/landscape to birds/animals. We are so blessed.

We had excellent drivers to manage the roads in Uganda. These were more interesting than most. We had a photographer with us who has promised to share some of her photos with us, so we may be able to put some of them on the blog. Some of the animals we saw on the game drive & boat ride were antelope, heartabeasts, hippos, cape buffalo (like water buffalo) crocodiles, giraffes, & wart hogs. Dennis also went back in the evening with a couple of the gals on the team & SAW LIONS! See some of our pictures below.

We all completed a "challenging" hike to Murchison Falls. It was awesome to see God's creation. This waterfall was something to see & the water splashing out felt really good after a hot hike.

It was great to see the second team (most whom we did know). We arrived in Lira on Friday night & spent Saturday morning with them at the orphanage. The children & staff always put on quite a celebration when a new team arrives. Dennis helped the team with the work day in the afternoon & Margie came home to get things in order.

We went hut-to-hut with the first team in the Bunga Bunga village where five people came to know Christ. A couple of team members prayed for a young boy & he was healed instantly. His father stood up in church the next Sunday & praised God for it.

Having the teams here is just another reminder of how much we love & miss our family & friends in the States. It also makes us very thankful for your prayers & support. May God bless you for all you have done to make our ministry here possible. The other missionaries will be going to the States for a break soon, & we will need your prayers then more than ever. We are thankful to be here, serve the Lord and see His hand at work at Calo Me Lare (the orphanage) & at the Bunga Bunga Bible Church. Who knows what else He will do while we are here. He is AWESOME!
