Springbank Community Church

Ready, Set .....

We are just about ready to go, did I remember everything? Will my flights be on time? How hot is it really going to be? I hope I do not get sick. I am sure these are just a few of the thoughts running through the minds of the team. For those that have never been to Africa it is hard to envision what it will be like but soon we will be there and experiencing many things for the first time. Please remember to pray for us as we travel, many details need to come together to make for a smooth trip, connections luggage, customs. This is an exciting trip as we look to what God has in store for Springbank church. There is no doubt that blessing will be felt in the community of Mukono but as you spend yourself on behalf of the hungry God will heap blessing back on you as well. Check back often to see how we are doing and please pray. Thank you.






PS. This is the one and only swing at the Orphan Home, a new playground will be quite timely.

The kids were amazed that the one little swing was all the orphan kids have for a park. We can't wait to see what the playground will look like when you are done. Our prayers are with you.

Cailey has a question:

How many kids are in the orphanage?

We hope you all got there okay. May the Lord be with you as you help those less fortunate than ourselves.

I’m thankful that was the before picture…I was getting a little concerned about the selection process for team members. Can't wait for more!

I can't wait to see the pictures of the new playground. Julie, Val and I were discussing the Mukono group at our kid's school playground. We had no idea how humble their playground would be!

We miss you, Daddy( Gerry), and pray for the teams continued safety and health. We are also praying that you are able to complete the play ground for the children. We trust you are making many new contacts and friendships along the way. One question we have is how old are the children? Are any of them older than 10? What do the children like to do?
Love and hugs, Garrett, Metea, Quinn and Val.
