Day 5

Today the clinic saw 100's of patients from 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM. They worked very very hard. While the patients waited in the clinic, Alyssa told Bible Stories and shared her personal testimony with the waiting patients. Lupe and Julia went and handed out "mercy bags" to many villagers homes and three prayed to receive Christ as their Savior!! Tonight they showed the Jesus movie while the team were able to shower as this is their last night on Lufu as tomorrow they leave for Kachanga, which is another island where they will be for three nights.

Day 4

Everyone: Great news from Uganda!!! The team was with a group from Austin Texas last night and held a youth rally and 200, that's right , 200 people accepted Christ as their personal Savior!! They also met a lady who had a blood disease and needed money to go to the hospital and get treated. They were able to give her the needed money and she went straight to the hospital. Susan has found a baby and will be bringing the baby home!! Surprise Steve, just kidding, but she really wanted to do this! Dr. Katie, Susan with assistant Emily did a procedure and helped to remove a hard knot on a person's head. I stop and think about all of this and think this is what Jesus did on the earth...loved and helped people at every level. I am so proud of this group. They have been told often by all the pastors there that they miss Jason terribly and wish he was there with them. They have arrived in Lufu which is their first island and were setting up their tents for the evening!! Larry C. Nail

Day 3

Well, everyone is going great. No sickness and all is great. In the background, I could hear children singing. Tonight is the night that they arrive in Kukombo and then tomorrow they begin their journey to the islands of Lake Victoria. Emily asked the driver (who was the same driver as last year) if he knew Jesus. She had thought that he might be Muslim. His name is Habie and he looked her in the eyes and said "Yes"! She was elated and could not wait for Jason Brown to know as he had been praying for the opportunity to share with him on this visit and since Jason was unable to go, He was quite excited to know this for sure.

Please continue to pray for the group to make a difference in the lives of these people as they seek to meet their physical and spiritual needs on the islands. By the way, temps are in the high 80's and lows in the 60's at night!

Everyone: The team made it to Entebbe safely!! They were able to get together with Tommy and Alyssa who are already there and everyone is doing great. Alyssa is feeling better now as well. They will leave tomorrow mid morning for Jinja. Great report...safety, peace and getting some rest today before they journey to the islands! Larry C. Nail

Tonight while you are going to bed, please remember the team in your prayers and especially Alyssa, as she is not feeling well. Pray for healing in her body. Isaiah 53:5 "By His stripes, we are healed!"

Everyone:

Well, they made it off at 4:45 AM this morning and their trip began with favor. At the San Antonio airport everyone was very helpful and kind with all the luggage and passports. They had one extra bag that was to be a charge of $150 and they were having trouble with a credit card. After several attempts, the supervisor said to let it go...free!! Divine Favor!

They arrived for a 6 hour layover and spent time for lunch at Carnegie Deli and then on to Times Square and as I write this email, they are boarding their flight to Brussels and then on to Uganda. They sound so excited, keep them in your prayers as will I!!
