Saying Goodbye to Uganda for a Season

Well my journey here in Africa is coming to a close in just a few days.  It has been an amazing experience and I know these last 14 months have helped shape me into the woman I was created to be!
I am sad to leave this wonderful place and these precious people but I am excited for this season home to be with friends and family. Please be praying for me as I transition back home and settle back into America. I am excited to carry this fire that God has given me, back home to everyone around me. I know He is going to do amazing things!

I will be coming back to Uganda sometime in the New Year but I am going to miss the day to day interaction with the people and all relationships I have built this past year. I am especially going to miss the children yelling my name and waving as I drive by in the village.

I wish I could tell all the incredible things that God has done this past year but there is so much to share. I have seen countless of healing's, miracles and the power of God displayed in many lives but my favorite has been the transformation in hearts because of love.  I have seen the children and the elderly’s lives impacted simply because of the power of love. As we have given our time, our love and sharing how valued they are to God. It has brought immense transformation in their hearts!

I think the greatest thing for me, has also been encountering the love of God in ways I had never experienced before. When you have a radical love encounter with your father in heaven and you discover his outrageous love, you will never be the same! This has also been the testimony of the children, elderly and all the teams and interns God has sent here. It has truly been an amazing experience!  

Thank you so much for being a huge part of my journey with God. All of you, who have prayed, financially supported, loved and encouraged me. I can’t thank you enough! Together we are shaping history and it is so exciting! So for now, I say goodbye to Uganda for a season but I look forward to what He has in store for me in these next few months.
