17. 9 months of staff salaries for the clinic were donated
18. Last, but certainly not least....in fact MOST IMPORTANT, at least 3 muslim women who entered the HOPE+ program have given their lives to Christ. Ultimately....this is what it's all about.
We praise God for all that He has made happen for these beautiful, amazing people that we love so dearly.
A team of 5 women will be leaving on Sunday, January 12th. We will be distributing the shoes as well as working with Sole Hope which we are very excited about. We also will have a film crew join us as we meet with several of HOPE+ sisters. Project HOPEFUL believes so strongly in the work that is being done in Uganda and wants to be able to effectively share it with more people.
Please pray for us and the families we will leave behind. Our hope is that we are always Spirit led and that God's will is done. Please also pray for safety and health for those of us traveling and for the Daddy's who are caring for the kiddos at home.
We will be continuing to raise funds for a security fence and staff salaries in early 2014. We are also going to begin sponsoring more children. If you feel led to do either, please send us an email. Thank you for your love, prayers and continued support.
In Christ,
Dawn
