There is no better way to start a journey than with a great meal. We woke up to an amazing breakfast prepared by Angele and Katie. We sat, talked, ate, and sipped on coffee. We were relaxed, refreshed and ready to go. A special thank you goes out to the Regnier family and Katie for taking care of us all weekend, we appreaciate your love and hospitality more than you know! With full stomachs we began to fill our backpacks and suitcases. Even as we prepared to leave there was this indescribable calm. Everyone felt very at peace. Once everything was packed and ready to go, the team came together outside to pray.
As we read the Gospel for the day the purpose of this mission was confirmed.
Matthew 14:13-21 tells the story of Jesus multiplying the fish and the loaves of bread and feeding the huge crowd. The purpose of our mission is to go and build into the leaders there in Uganda so that they can build into others, which is what we call spiritual multiplication. It was clear that God had great things in store for us. He was going to take whatever little we had to offer and multiply it!
We left that prayer time feeling focused, united as a team and excited to see what God had instore for us in Uganda. It was now time to begin the long journey! We started the journey on a bus to Montreal where we got on a plane headed for Amsterdam. After waiting over an hour for a thunderstorm to end we took off!
Please keep our team in your prayers. Pray that we continue be filled with God's peace and that our hearts are filled with Great Expectations.
Praying for you from Kolkata. Have a great trip!!!
