I’m sure you are wondering...a house in Uganda? What? Well this is what. Of course in coming to Africa there are TONS of questions and a couple of them being, what am I going to do there? Will it really help? Holly, Sarah, and I have really been praying about these and asking God to show us what work He wants us to do here.
In praying we have felt the Lord telling us to ‘plant roots’ in Tororo. We aren’t sure if that means at Smile Africa or within the city but we feel it is to rent a home that could potentially be a consistent AIM (Africa Inland Mission) home in Tororo. It would be a home where all Short Term Missionaries would stay, potentially a Long Term missionary or family.
Why do we want a home, besides God tell us to? We would love to be able to open up our home to the staff at Smile Africa and cook for them, like they do to us. It would be great to start small community groups that are held in our home, learn with the people in the city, live life here more like the Ugandans do, open it up to the kids that live at Smile; it would give them a chance to leave the campus some. Also, it would just give all and any AIM people to live in the country they serve, cooking, washing clothes, taking care of a home, etc. like the people do here.
So I am asking for YOUR help in prayer! That God would continue to move in this with all the logistics of finance, safety, location, etc. He would be moving in AIM and sending more people to Smile!!!
Thank you for your partnership!!
