An update from Pastor Dave...

The Uganda Mission team is doing very well. Every day we are more than graciously welcomed at HUMBLE United Methodist School. The children are healthy and well. The teachers are working hard in their classrooms. The administration is doing a superb job of keeping everything moving in a positive direction.

Each person on the Crossroads Mission Team loves to talk, play and just be with the students. There is no doubt that each team member has met the presence of Jesus in the children of HUMBLE. Even in the adverse conditions of extreme poverty that surrounds their lives every day the children are still full of laughter and joy. They have truly lifted all our spirits and reminded us once again why we need to stay in relationship with them. They have blessed us in ways that far exceed what we have given. As wonderful as the pictures you see on the blog are, they only capture one dimension of what the total experience is like on the ground.

Please continue to pray for us as we continue our journey here in Uganda. On Monday the team will be travelling to Gulu to visit children at IDP camps. This will be a powerful and life changing experience for our team as there we will meet many children who have been run out of their villages fleeing for their lives and now live in camps as refugees.

All the teachers and students at HUMBLE send their prayers and love to their extended church family at Crossroads. What a blessing it is for our church to be connected to HUMBLE.

I have met many of the children who were with us last year in the Hope for Africa Children's choir and they especially send their love to the host families. You have made a place in their hearts that will last forever. By the way the new Hope for Africa Children's Choir will be with us in November.

Again, let me assure you that all is well in Uganda.

Peace

Dave
