We Have Arrived
Sorry this is late, internet connection is not always available.
Hi all! After two days of long flights we arrived safely in Uganda early Monday morning and
were met at the airport by Peit (pronounced Pete) the director and founder of the NACMU (Noahs Ark Childrens Ministry Uganda) After a hair raising 2 and half hour drive through rush hour traffic we arrived on the NACMU site. All of us were amazed by how many buildings have already been constructed. We have only been here for two days and have already learned so much. The general consensus comment from all of the team is that the need is so great here that trying to do something on our own would be useless. Just now we came out of a meeting with Piet and Mariska (another missionary here) In which we had the chance to really ask Piet what part our church can play in building this village. Actually calling it a village doesn't capture the heart of what NACMU is doing here. It really is community development. And they truly are making a difference here. Yet in that conversation we all had a sense that God has brought us together for a reason. I was able to tell Piet that we don't want to be a group that comes in swings a hammer for a week and takes off again. We want to really engage in helping. It was an awesome conversation and we'll see where God takes it. The team is doing really well and we are learning so much. 
Check back to hear from other team members as they describe what types of ministry are happening here. Thanks for your prayers
