16 days until I depart! I'm so excited! For those of you who do not know, on this next trip, I am heading out to Bangkok, Thailand with a team of 5 for 2 weeks working with students, ex prostitutes, transvestites, those who have a escaped from the sex salve industry and more. A wide array of people that I cannot wait to minister to. After the two weeks are over I am flying solo to Kampala, Uganda, my second home I feel like. I cannot wait to get back to the people I love! I am working with the same organization that I did a year and a half ago (has it seriously been that long?). God has also given me a clear vision to start a girls bible study at the local detention center. I will be in Uganda for about 3 months again. I will be gone a total of 3 months and 20 days. My last day of work is next week, and this Sunday is my last Sunday that I will be at church. My time here is coming to an end, which is exciting and also sad. I HATE saying goodbye to people I love and the comforts of home, but we as Christians are not meant to live "comfortable" lives and that is ok with me. Please pray for me and my team and that God will use us in mighty ways in Thailand to glorify Him and lead people out of bondage and into the loving arms of Christ. Pray also for me, that my solo trip will do the same, that I will get out of my comfort zone more and more and do the impossible which only Christ can do through me. Pray also that all my current needs will be taken care of. God has provided SO much and I am almost there!
Current needs:
$600 for the rest of my rent in Uganda
basic necessities: large thing of shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, body wash, lotion, dryer sheets,beach towel, snacks, wet wipes, vitamins and probiotics, etc
