We're Home Safe and Sound!!

"Praise God." ... "Amen."  This is the greeting and the response whenever a Christian addresses a group in Uganda.  On behalf of Team Uganda...  "Praise God." 

We are home safe and sound from our incredible life changing mission. We praise our wonderful Lord for His faithfulness to answer the prayers of His children on our behalf. We thank you, our wonderful blog followers and prayer partners for praying. We saw God at work in us and through us and we feel so full of joy! 

As we arrived in the Houston airport this afternoon, Saturday, we were greeted by our families holding signs of welcome and cheering. What a blessing! They didn't seem to mind that we hadn't really showered since Thursday afternoon Houston time. The water was off in our hotel Thursday night and Friday morning when we were leaving. Did you know you can clean your whole body and wash your hair with  one small bottle of drinking water?

We stretch out to sleep now in our comfortable beds, after hot showers and lots of soap, mindful of the fact that many still sleep on mud floors tonight without food in their stomachs, a blanket to cover them or a mommy and daddy to tuck them in. We know we made a difference for many. We will continue to pray for the precious people of Uganda each night as we get into beds, drink pure water or stand for a long time in the shower. Our lives are forever changed and we are grateful for that.  

Thank you Lord for allowing us to live out the Scriptures in Isaiah 6:8, which says "Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, " Here am I Lord, send me!"  

Amen.
