First Day of Ministry

Rusty and Matthew are flying over the Atlantic right now as they have begun their two day journey to Uganda. They will arrive in the wee hours on Wednesday morning. They are both excited and ready to get started. The rest of the team finished up their first day of ministry. Here are a few of their comments:

India Lackey (her words soon after arrival)

I have been here an hour and am already in tears. Not because of what they don't have but because of what we take for granted. I already have a love for them that could only be of God's doing. What an awesome God we have.

Michell Snider (her words at the end of the first day)

We just left the children. That was truly amazing. Mama Mary cried when she looked at the photo album (pictures and notes from many in the US who were sending their love). The kids sat and looked and were amazed. They absolutely loved the bathing suits. They were sooo excited. The girls were dancing in excitement. Been so busy. What a blessing today!

Prayer Concerns:

Please continue to pray for travel mercies and prepared hearts for Rusty and Matthew. Please pray that God would mightily use the team members who are already on the ground as they minister to the children and give the orphanage a facelift over the next two days. Pray for their strength, joy, and unity of spirit. Pray that God would profoundly reflect His great love through each of them so that the children would love God more and more.

You are such an important part of this work as you lift up your prayers to Him!!!

In Him and for Him
