Less than a MONTH AWAY!

The trip to Uganda is less than a month away!  You could not possibly imagine how excited I am!   I already have 200 lbs of luggage.   We (3 of us)  will be bringing at  least 450 lbs of luggage with us. 

Some really great things  are planned for our trip.

We will be at the Christian Mission Academy 4 days

• Visiting at least 18 of the sponsored children’s homes.  
•    Every child at the school will receive a pencil, candy and biscuits (I truly wish I could bring them some cookies from the US)
• Every class will receive several pencil sharpeners( What good are pencils if you don’t have a way to sharpen them)
•   The school will receive several wiffle balls and bats- jump ropes-crayons – markers- recorders – Frisbees and so much more.
• Many children  and the younger class rooms will receive hand made dolls
• We will bring a generator to the school and show the kids the movie the Lion King. (The first time the children have seen a movie.
•  At movie night provide the children with pop corn, candy and a soda.
• The children will receive a special meal.   Meat –rice-sauce and gravy and a soda
•  I want every child to have a peanut butter sandwich  and juice box during our visit. 

Many have never had a peanut butter sandwich.  Can  any of you even imagine being so poor that you  never had a peanut butter sandwich? 

Jesus Power Church

• We will be speaking- (Several time)
• Meeting with the ladies and showing– Video of the Sermon on Esther  by  Trinity Covenants own Ann Menzie translated into Lugandan by Steven Kakiyira
• Visiting the Sewing Business-  I am so excited that we have received pictures of children wearing the pillow case dresses. 

 In 2 weeks we will be having our Dancing Through the Decades Fund Raiser.  It is the biggest fund  raising event I have coordinated.   I am nervous  it will not be successful.  Attend it you can 

 Please pray that this event is well attended and helps us to reach our goal. I am praying we raise $1,000.00.
