Today another mission team embarks on a journey to Uganda with Hope 2 One Life. We are always amazed at the process and effort, planning, sharing, connecting, sacrificing and giving that goes along with this leap of faith to serve 1/2 a world away in a foreign land. This land is now very familiar to me after this many trips spanning 12 years. Yet with each trip and each year it is always a huge relief to get through the packing and airport check in and get on that plane! We are blessed to have 5 Hope 2 One Life board members with us and 3 newbies, and an LRA war torn Ugandan who we first met in 2006 and subsequently was adopted over to the US. 24 fifty pound tubs, 8 carry ons, 8 personal bags and 8 people made it through check in (at 4 am) and security in one hour. This went as smooth as smooth could be! We are grateful to our true friends getting up at that hour to transport us and see the tubs get weighed, tied and through the searches. Thank you Doug Parker and Dan Rieland, you both were godsends and we are grateful for the prayerful send off and blessings! As we journey we will introduce you to the 2015 team. We will assess all of our ongoing water and health projects and community development projects, as well as new soils/agriculture assessments and educational and women's empowerment projects!
....Stay tuned as we travel to Entebbe Uganda via Amsterdam and head to the Family Empowerment Uganda - Canaan farm as our first leg of the trip. It is sure to be an adventure! I know we all simply want to "do good for others and love thy neighbor" with all of our hearts and souls. We are grateful to those at home who are praying and supporting this effort. Emmanuel, God be with us...
