Jinja, Uganda

We held a kids camp for the kids in villages on our second week in Uganda. 

We expected only about 150 and ended up with over 500 by the end of the week! It was very challenging and stretching, but God really showed up. He taught us a lot through teaching the kids about our Jesus.

Here is a story from my team mate Brittany from the kids camp:

Feeding the (Not Quite) 5000

"There were lines of children coming to get food. The surprise came the first day when we were expecting around 100 children and over 300 children showed up. We did not expect that many on the first day and throughout the week the number has grown! That changed our plans a bit with the lessons and games of course, but also with the food.  We ran out of food one of the days and the older kids did not get lunch.

Now as we were serving lunch, it was quite clear that we were not going to have enough food. The last group had arrived and we were nearing the end of the pots of food.  I know my God and he provides for His children. He brought each one of them to the camp this week to hear the messages of 'Redeeming Love'.  I am serving food, but I am also praying 'Lord Multiply this food'.

That multitude was fed. They weren't 5000, but Jesus fed them. Not only physically but also spiritually He fed them, and there’s a lot more than 5000 still waiting!"

In February we came back to help out at the preschool on campus. It was really cool to be able to see what a well-run preschool is like in Uganda.
