THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12TH
A picture is worth a thousand words. If this is true, we will let the pictures speak for themselves.
Today, we divided and conquered....not really conquered...it just sounded cool.
A group of three went back to Imani to love some more on orphans ages birth through five years. We worked with preschool kids and rocked some babies.
Another group visited Jinja Hospital with Carolyn to deliver MUCH needed supplies. We prayed with a few patients for complete healing of body and mind. We saw a young teen who was battling TB. In the midst of all the sickness and disease, we did speak with some followers of Christ. The head nurses of the wards we visited were shining lights in the darkness. Today’s images will be forever in our minds. We are thankful for the healthcare we have.
Another group stayed at JPCC and listened to Dorkus, one of the fabulous employees working with the Jacobsens. Dorkus ministers to young moms from local villages. She teaches the WORD to these women and how they can move forward. She also teaches them awareness of illness not only for their children but also for themselves.
Another group stayed in Jinja and worked with aspiring artists. There will be an art show tomorrow. The paintings are AMAZING!
In the afternoon, many of us went out to serve in the MailBox program. MailBox is a ministry that works with school age children in at least ten schools around Jinja. The children are given paper books with scripture to memorize as well as questions that reinforce the message of the Gospel. The children we saw in different places today were full of joy and proclaiming Jesus is LORD. (We also snuck in a little fun and laughter, too.).
Afterwards, we visited a village to make a home visit to one of the young mothers in the program at JPCC. This is the village that inspired Katie Davis to stay in Uganda and begin her ministry.
A few went to visit one of Bob’s students. This young man has become successful under Bob’s micro financing program. He is self sufficient and in the process of building his own house which is not an easy accomplishment in Jinja. Late afternoon, we wrapped up our day by ministering to school aged children at the Railways School. We worshipped with them; made a special craft; played games and heard a lesson on Gideon and trusting GOD at all times.
