Home Is Where the Heart Is

Dear All,

After saying goodbye to Scott at the airport in Entebbe (he is in Kenya for the next week and a half and then Addis Ababa, Ethiopia until December - please keep him in your prayers as he continues his amazing journey!) and many many hours cramped on a plane, the group arrived safely at the Dulles airport.  While we are all physically back in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Colorado and Massachusetts I truly believe that a giant-sized piece of each of our hearts remains in Agule.  We cannot begin to thank you enough for the many ways you have supported us - thank you for bringing Agule into our lives.  We have tried to bring Agule to you as well, and will continue to tell our stories of our time there as we begin to process all that we have witnessed, felt, heard, accomplished and loved.

To give you a brief update, the beds will be placed in once construction is complete. For those of you that supported the thirtyfivethirty bed program thank you so much!



We may not physically be in Agule anymore, but our trip is far from over as the next few days, weeks and months will reveal to us even more about our time in this beautiful community - and, while we accomplished amazing things during our stay there, we still have a lot of exciting work ahead of us!

Please stay tuned for continued updates on how we are all doing and what our next steps for this project will be...

Grace and Love,
Anneka

  1. Thank you soooo much for the updates. All of your extended prayer family here has rejoiced, cried, praised, cheered and been in awe of the amazing transformation of the building at Agule. Each of you stepped off a high diving board when you went, not knowing if there was water below, and our amazing God swirled you in the air, together with those in Uganda, to create a wonderful mulitcolor group dive. The entrance into the water, of an almost complete building, gives a community and each individual participating renewed strength and belief that with God all things are possible. Please continue to blog as you process this experience after returning home. Thank you to all who went for leaving that place so blessed.
