Well we made it back from Uganda and our specific destination, Restoration Gateway. We had God's blessings the whole time - travel arrangements all went smoothly, no one got sick, and there were no relational issues - pretty amazing when you think that our team was made up of 23 people from 4 cities - all that to say that we thank you for those who prayed.
For those who do not know Restoration Gateway (RG) is a project that God put on the heart of Tim and Janice McCall in 2005 and has worked through them in a mighty way so far. It is 500 acres on the Nile river in Northern Uganda and a multiphase project to reach out to the civil war ravaged people of that area with hope and the Gospel. The first phase is an orphan home which is now being constructed - 35 homes in 5 pods of 7 homes each. Eventually there will also be a medical clinic, hospital and nursing school; a Bible college, pastors retreat, and tabernacle; an agricultural and fisheries demonstration facility. There are currently 45 Ugandans working 6 days a week at the project. Each morning they begin with an hour long devotional service. They are taught the Word, Christian living and how to live in community. The results just in the lives of the workers so far has been staggering.
We spent our time working alonside the workers and developing relationships, going in to schools to share and play with the kids, doing work projects with local churches, holding medical clinics. I will share more on this later but you can go to their website at www.restorationgateway.org to learn more about it.

What a beautiful time you all must have had with Jesus in such an amazing country. I sensed such peace as I looked at your pictures. The love of God for people all over the earth is so pure and so complete, isn't it?
