Wednesday, we spent the day seeing some sites in Kampala and recovering from our jet leg. Thursday, we spent the day with Africa Renewal Ministries (ARM) visiting their various ministries in and around Kampala. We were so encouraged by our time with all the people and leaders we met with, and it was exciting to hear about all God is doing through their ministry. A highlight of the day was traveling across Lake Victoria on a motor boat together to get to one of their project sites and the final leg of the trip included a boda-boda ride, which quite the adventure to say the least,   Friday, we met with a regional leader from African Inland Mission (AIM) and learned about all the great work they are doing in Uganda and the surrounding region. We ended the day getting to pray and worship at Gaba Community Church which was a special treat to end our week here in Kampala. Our hosts, guides and accommodations have been amazing and we want to thank everyone at Bridge Africa International for your incredible servant hearts and for taking such good care of us.

We head up to northern Uganda tomorrow morning (Saturday) and we will be spending the remainder of our time here with a ministry about an hour south of Gulu. Pray for our travels and time there next week and updates to come as internet access permits.

We recently had a family photo shoot and now have some updated pictures to share. Thank you Amanda Elpers for your great work and amazing images! Be sure to check out her site if you are looking for a photographer.

It’s still early in the process, but we are desiring to go as part of a multi-gifted team and our next steps are to go on a scouting trip to Uganda this summer. We will be going with a team of 7 people through our church, Common Ground, and the team will be meeting with various ministries in Kampala and northern Uganda. During this 2 week trip the team will be gathering data, praying, discerning and being the eyes and ears on the ground as we seek God’s vision for this venture.
