Friday update on trip over

I heard from both Walt and Clair this morning. The flight out of Newark was delayed and the flight out of Brussels was canceled, so they are off schedule but fine. They will now fly out of Brussels at 7PM and through Ethiopia before arriving at Kampala at 1:00 AM Saturday. Last I heard, Walt and Greg were chilling and watching luggage while Karen, Peter and Clair do a quick walk-around tour of Brussels. Keep praying that fatigue and frustration don't cause them to lose sight of the Holy Spirit's leading.

Blessings~

Good Morning All:

I have rec'd several text messages from Cindy early this morning. She is doing well, and was headed out to meet with Susan Morrison and Alison Barfoot this afternoon, in anticipation of picking up the rest of the team tonight!

She shared that they have seen pilgrims along the roadways, walking from Kenya, to attend the big worship celebration this Sunday....humbling! Would we do the same?

Prayers for the team as they continue traveling today and into tonight to arrive safely in Entebbe...peace-filled night's sleep tonight!

Blessings,

Beth

 

Monday May 28^th- from Cindy Pennington

Today I had the opportunity to visit this fishing village, Kikando, on the shores of Lake Victoria.  It is a community of about 2000 people that live in close to this boat landing.  I took boat just like one of these, across the lake to the community.  The Holy Spirit is working there.  There are 5 churches/congregations, and 2 primary schools.  However there is a lot of work to do, spiritually and physically.  We walked past more than one group of men who were playing a dice “game of chance”. As the kids were coming home from school (about 4:30 ….and yes they had been in school since 8:00 am) the toddlers were out running around; probably 20% of the kids only ½ clothed and hardly any with shoes on.  Water Missions has a water purification project in this community (the main reason that we went there) and is seeing health improvements already.    What a blessing to walk and interact with the people of Kikando.
