Benches completed

Benches built by the 2011 team were installed and ready for the summer graduation from the Lubas Mission Link international pastor's school.

End of the journey-2011

Dave:

I am still in Uganda. Just got word a few hours ago from Reinhard that they had a great time and are getting on the plane. Rick

Above are two photos; One is of the view at sunrise waiting for the ferry to take the Safari 3 across the Nile into the Park for wildlife viewing. The second is of sunset over the Nile taken from the dining area of the Nile Safari Camp which looks across the Nile river at Murchison Falls National Park.

We hope to have some of you with us next year!

New York team makes it home

The New York team made it home, four hours late, thanks to United planes needing modifications and repairs. Tired but excited about the past ten days of work in Jinja, Uganda.

They finshed the benches and somewhere soon we may post a photo of their good work.

The safari group should be seeing thing like pictured above!

Team heads to airport, Rick at Leper village

The email from Rick indicates that some of the team were ready sooner than others! Rick also visited a leper village along the shores of Lake Victoria.

Dave: Everyone is on the bus headed to Kampala/Entebbe. We left @ 9:30 am. Matt was nervous and on the bus @ 8:15. I believe everyone had a positive trip. They did not take the boat ride on Sunday due to NO life-jackets. I arrange for boat and ask that they make sure they have LJ or no one gets on boat. Hope you are feeling better. Rick

Reinhard, Gisela, and Craig head off to a four day safari at Murchison Falls, created when the Nile River flows over a precipice.

Florida Team, sort of

Now that the team is headed back to the USA and we never had a photo to show the entire team, I have attached a partial group taken during a trainning session in Florida in April. From left to right: Dave (who did not make it), Craig (our construction guru), Kathy Durgo (who happened to be visiting in Florida, Bethany (holding her Evangecube) and Sally (her mom). Matt happened to miss that meeting. Thanks for your prayers. Dave

Goodbye for now Africa~

We praise You Lord! Yesterday, the team worked together and finished the benches! It's amazing how much can be accomplished when a team is unified. Our devotion yesterday morning was on Ephesians 4:1-16 and taught us to be unified with Christ Jesus to do what the body was made to do. We must be humble, gentle, and tolerant of each other and work as a team. It is so wonderful to become more and more like Christ! Sadly, we said our goodbyes to the Pastors and many others who touched our lives, and went back to the hotel to pack our bags. It is so hard leaving. I think each of us will be leaving part of our hearts here in Africa. Please pray for travel mercies as we fly home today. Our first plane will take off from Entebbee airport at 5:00 tonight. Thank you for standing with us in prayer. Yesu aqua gala (Jesus Loves You)!

Sunday, a day of rest for Team

The team worshipped with Pastor Philip and his congregation from 9:30 till after noon. They had arrived an hour late due to transportation challenges this morning. No photos of that to share. Rick was off at a leper colony. MLI was given a chicken coop to begin a mini chicken farm. Sally, the artist, has revoered nicely.

The team had lunch at a resort called the kingfisher. All are tired. Pray for rest as the entire team will attack finishing the benches. Dave
