Update from Gulu

The team has had a lot of really cool experiences so far! On Friday, the following was posted on Facebook from Uganda:

"Team is here and spent our first day in the field yesterday. Pastor Phillip Bile taught the Village youth directors on sharing Christ with the children. It was a great class on sharing Christ with local objects. Rocks, bricks, mangos, sand. Not quiet the props that we have at our disposal in the U.S. but the class was so well received. The interaction of the young Village volunteers was really exciting. 

This is monumental, these young people will return to their Villages motivated and excited to reach the youth for Christ. It is the next generation here. The majority of the Village population are children. With over 25 Churches planted in the last several years, just imagine the impact this will have. 

Pray for these young volunteers, some as young as 16 who traveled hours to get here to be equipped . They will return to there Villages to take the next step in in building up the local body. Literally thousand of children will be impacted.

Thank you Phil for your heart and answering the call."

David checked in this weekend as well and said that they had an incredible visit to the hospital where they were able to pray with dozens of patients and their families. He said when they walked in you could literally feel death all around you.  There were people who were so downtrodden, dark, and nearing their last days, but many asked to receive the Lord and when they left joy filled the room and the Holy Spirit was thick.  Those same individuals were smiling, shaking hands with others and you could literally see the spiritual change reflected physically.

Check out the pictures below and continue to join us in lifting this team up to the Lord.
