Hey, as you can see, Mary Kate found an Internet cafe (see her post below this one!!) and wrote a little something from Kampala. They had a free day to rest and do a little shopping and looking around the city before they are off again on assignment tomorrow.
Her team will go up to Gulu until Saturday to work in the children's camp. Some of you are familiar with the Watoto Children's Choir...they are from that area. There is a Watoto Children's Center, maybe they will visit there as well. (Back at the Chris Tomlin concert we went to in January, Mary Kate got excited about the Watoto children, and she said, "Mom, I think I should go to Uganda." Here is the website of Chris Tomlin singing with the choir...check it out, if you haven't heard it before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Tung5rpfWA&feature=related)
Please pray that she gets over her cold or allergy problem. She said it is very dusty there. She phoned us for literally 30 seconds yesterday afternoon ( that's what she refers to in her post), but the connection was so poor and her time ran out soooo quickly (they may have been sharing calling cards) that we didn't really hear very much.
Their ministry in Kampala at the schools and orphanages went very well. There were always soooo many people gathering to hear the Gospel. What a privilege to be able to share the "True Love Waits" program and do VBS as well. The people there have been so horribly effected by the war in their country and need the hope of the Savior. Many have responded and accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, and the local church that GE is working with, now has a lot of work to do. What an exciting thing to have happen. Imagine these children not knowing someone loves them and that they are worth saving. Thank you for your prayers for the teams, for their safety and health, and that God will continue to use them in a mighty way, that lives will be changed from darkness to light!
