Watoto Update

I just got a newsletter from Watoto with some great news in it!

1.  There are now 60 babies in the Bulrushes!
2.  On August 5, KPC opened a church in Gulu!  This is the project that they were praying so hard for while we were there.  They are currently looking for land to start building villages there.  This is an area that has been devastated by warfare, and where children are being recruited as soldiers.
3.  You can follow the Watoto choirs on their blog at www.watotochoirtour.blogspot.com.
4.  This year, Watoto will be adding 144 new children to their family!

Encourage your friends to give the gift of love for an African child this Christmas!

I plan on sending an update to the persons who sponsored our trip.  If you would like to help put something together--pictures and such--and get it sent out, let me know.  Thanks!

Pray for the children!

Watoto Mission Trip 2007 Update

We are just 2 1/2 weeks away from our departure!  The team is assembling donated items to take for the Watoto Babies' Home and is still accepting cash to help furnish the orphanage we will be building.  The 23 of us who are going--from West Heights, East Heights, Maize, and College Hill--will be building two homes in a Watoto Child Care Ministries village.  One home will house eight orphans and a house mother, and the other home will be for a teacher.

We received several items and substantial donations from East Heights' French Market that will all be going directly to the Watoto group.

A prayer guide will be available so you can surround us with your prayers.

Don't forget that we will be posting pictures and news on this web site while we are gone--hopefully each day.  So check us out and see how God is working in Uganda!

Welcome....
