Today, on the Global Expeditions site, which has been updated, I read some very exciting stuff. The weather is perfect there (in NJ, this is the first sunny day we've had...17 out of 21 days of rain!) and they are pumped up for ministry. The people have been welcoming to them, and teams are thankful for the prayer on their behalf.
In case you can't reach the GE website updates, here is what one of the team members wrote about: they were sitting outside the hostel, doing some drama practice, when local children started watching them. Before long there were many kids. Every child likes ice cream so GE treated, and someone ran for a translator. They decided to have an impromptu VBS with games, songs and a lesson...five kids came to know the Lord!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!
It definitely looks like one of the teams is in Gulu, which by the way, is about 200 miles north, working at the camp. Then the others are working in the schools and orphanages. Gulu is an area that, just since spring of 2007, has had peace after 21 years of war against the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and it's leader, Joseph Kony (bad guy!!) Unfortunately, Kony and the LRA has moved on into Congo, and is doing damage there. Gulu is growing again, in part, thanks to international help, with medicine, rehabilitation centers for the abducted children, and with food. There is a lot of work to be done there, so please pray for the time there.
