WE'RE HERE............

Nancy & I arrived on Tuesday night and were greeted by the coaches from the Sports Outreach Ministry.  Although having some serious jet lag, we visited the Kampala School for the Physically Handicapped on Wednesday morning to plan a day of activity here on July9th when we return from distribution of the wheelchairs in Gulu.  The staff here at the school greeted us warmly and we quickly reestablished the relationships we built two summers ago when we were here.  Many smiles and hugs were exchanged.  We sat in on the coaches devotion time on Wednesday morning and were able to not only hear the Word shared, but we sang songs with our Christian brothers and sisters here.  Nancy's good friend Nicolas picked us up at the school and we returned to his house where we spent Wednesday and Thursday night. We were able to have some sweet fellowship with their family and spent Thursday visiting a village and seeing a very different side of African lifestyle.  We had a wonderful visit with a  pastor at the Deliverance Church  and Nancy did an awesome job articulating the disability ministry of Joni and Friends, with the hope that Sylvia's and Nicolas' church can partner with them in the future.  This morning we are back at the KSPH doing some more organizational preparation and we are looking forward to picking up the rest of the team tonight at the Entebbe airport.  We hope to keep you updated and encourage you to check out the team blog as well.  Thank you for your prayers and we'd ask that you continue them on our behalf.
