We leave first thing in the morning tomorrow on an 8 to 10 hour road trip to the Uganda border at Malaba, through Jinja on Lake Victoria, then north to Nawantale. We will arrive tomorrow evening, spend Saturday and Sunday there, then return on Monday. We will not have internet access, so I will next report after we return.
While passing through Jinja, we will visit one of our kids, Diana, who is ill with Sickle Cell complications and in the hospital there.
Saturday we plan to help roof the new church structure, conduct eye exams, perform dental work, deliver supplies brought from the US and Kenya, and picking up needed items to improve the conditions at the home.
Sunday, we will worship at the church, share a message and encourage them, continue with eye exams and dental work, administer some medicine, and have some fun with the kids. We have soccer balls, a tether ball, and a volleyball net.
Monday we will visit the kid’s school and head back to Kitale.
We are bringing all the supplies we can fit in our truck. This includes 80 pounds of medicine, 50 pounds of clothing, 50 pounds of books, and lots of balls, book bags, underwear, and very importantly, a bundle of letters written from individual kids at The Lord’s Servants Home in Kenya directly to individual kids at The Stream of Hope Home in Uganda. How cool is that?
Please pray that the weather is good and it doesn’t rain so that we will have travel safety and successfully roof the church.
