Snow!

We got our first real snow this weekend! It was only a few inches, but it was a lot of fun! And it's so beautiful! 

Intercession Uganda Outreach

Here is an overview of what our team will be doing in Uganda! We will mostly be working with children in various children's homes. We will travel to about 4 different cities and be working with several YWAM bases, and several other ministries. Please pray that the rest of our funds come in before the end of the month, several of us on our team still need between $800-$3,000. We have already seen God provide in so many ways and we know He will continue to. So we need to pray that God will stir hearts to donate and give us wisdom in how to continue fundraising. 

I am so excited to return to Uganda and be with the precious children there again! We will be able to do many different things with the kids, but we will need prayer for energy, wisdom on how to share the Gospel most effectively, and good health. So please keep our team in your prayers! Thanks!

Thanks so much for everyone who participated!!

I now have $1,285 out of $3,500 towards outreach!! I only need $2,215 to be fully funded! 

How in the world am I going to get that much in 24 days? God! My trust is in Him!

My friends and I in Madison tonight. 

Today

Taken: 11/7/12

What a memorable day! We cried (a lot), we laughed, we 

worshiped, we loved, we forgave, we let go, and we

encouraged. Then we ended our day with ice cream and

shopping at the mall with our small groups! I love my life

here at YWAM!






More to come soon! 

Team Uganda 2013!

Please keep us in your prayers as we 

prepare for outreach and grow closer 

together as a team over the next few 

months. Also, as we raise the funds needed 

for all of us to get to Uganda! Thanks!

Pictures are Online

If you want to see some pictures of my new life here I've uploaded them to Picasa Web Albums. Check them out here:

I'll be adding more there in the future too. It's much easier to upload them there then it would be to put them all on this blog. (Of course, I do upload them to FB, as well). 

Enjoy!
