A short update

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Hey everyone things are going well here in Uganda we attended the child evangelism fellowship of Uganda’s pastors workshop on Tuesday it was an interesting experience that opened our eyes to the state of the church and of children in Uganda aside from neglect and abuse children here face parents who will sell them as sacrifices. we have been staying in a guest house while we wait for our house in the village to be finished so that we can move in and begin our work with the children in earnest. we will be going to Kenya sometime around the middle of next month as our visitor visas expire on the 13th and we will need to cross the border to renew them please pray that we will have no problems and that the customs agent will give us the full 3 month visa instead of the 1 month one they gave us when we landed.we will be out of internet communication for the most part we will be able to get online a couple times a week i think. please email us and we will do our best to answer it is encouraging to us to know that you are praying and hearing from home helps too. also please keep praying for God’s provision. i will add more updates as we have more to share and as we are able to find an internet connection.

We made it

hey everyone its Anthony here with an update … we are actually on the ground in Uganda now. After 3 hours of driving 20 hours of flying and 16 hours of layovers and another hour of driving we are in kampala at the home of an MAF pilot where we will be staying for the next few days. its morning here and we are very tired but too excited to get right to sleep besides who wants to sleep in the morning even if its the middle of the night back home in canada. we havent had a chance to see much of the countryside but we took lots of pictures on the drive from Entebbe to Kampala. The general atmosphere of the city here is very similar to port au prince Haiti but things seem to be a bit more upscale here although i have been told that half an hour out of the city the villages are very rural and many dont have electricity or other modern marvels we cant wait to start meeting people and seeing more of this beautifull country and find out exactly what work the Lord has planned for us
