Hi everyone,

                     Sorry we haven’t updated the blog since we got back we’ve been really busy! It’s been a hard time being back missing Uganda and our American friends! We had a great time in Soroti district working with the E3 Americans (including Kipp and Spanky!!!) and Ugandan nationals to set up five new church plant sites.

Emma and Pete worked with the medical clinics and over the five days the combined team (physios, nurses, eye glasses and doctors) saw around 1200 patients. Like last year we set up tents under trees and served the people as best we could. It was fantastic being able to work together with the team and pray with lots of patients. The demand for wheel chairs was massive and we as a team need to raise money for 18 patients who didn’t get wheelchairs or crutches. If anyone wants to help contact Kipp at kcheek@eckhartconstruction.com.

Jen worked with a church planting team in a small village and had a great week doing the children’s ministry with Kirsten as well as helping giving out glasses. The team Jen was with were so blessed by the people they served and were given gifts of food (and African style clothes on the last day!!) everyday which is so generous but unbelievable when you know that this area was seeing actual famine less than a year ago!!

During the week we had some amazing encounters with people and saw God doing awesome stuff. One story involved Pete excising a cyst off a woman’s face and then she later came to know Jesus and gave up selling alcohol despite not having any other means to support her children in school! The people there have amazing faith in God!

We had such a great time and made loads of new friends and can’t wait till next year!! So why don’t you ‘make the most of every opportunity’ (Eph 5v16)and join us for Soroti 2011 and be used by God in amazing ways?

J, E, P
