so i'm not in sudan...

On the Monday before we left for Sudan we found out the situation was getting rougher with a couple attacks in villages near the base assumed to be the LRA. Anyway, our leaders in Perth sent us word that it was not safe for us to go at this time. The Australian government also is not covering any Aussies that are in Sudan right now. This was all taken into consideration including our inter*cession times and their prayer times and experience. On wednesday we found out we would be going to Jinja, Uganda. So here we are, in Uganda.

I wanted to update you all, but we really don't know for sure what we will be doing here yet. This is a land crying out with need and so with Go*d's hand, we will take part.

On Friday, another team memeber, Anna flew home to Sweden. We have almost lost all our Scandinavians. It was a sad day. She has been battling with her health for months and clearly G*od spoke about her leaving the school. She is planning to return next year (when I will be her staff, hehehe).

Thanks guys for your Pra*yer and support. You can continue to lift up this time of following his lead.
