We are excited for everything that God will do during this
trip; both through us and in us. Originally
the mission was to visit and orphanage in South Sudan, which has since grown to
two orphanages in South Sudan as well as one in Uganda. We will have opportunities to minister to the
children at all each of the three orphanages as well as the children at the
school.
Abba House in Entebbe Uganda is not a traditional orphanage
but run like a home as much as possible. It consists of two house and four Ugandan
women who take care of the children there. There is a missionary from America
that is there several months of the year but the “aunties” are there to care
for the children and function as close to what a normal Uganda home would
function. We are blessed that God has
opened a door for us to spend some time with them, get to know them, and
minister to them.
The 40 children at the home range in age from 5-18 and are in
need of several supplies. First we ask
for your prayers that God will provide everything on the list and bless these
children. Second, if you would like to help by making a donation, I am making a
list of everything that they need. I am
putting this list in order of urgency of need
40 sets of bed sheets – Dark colors or patterns (25 girls
& 15 boys)
