December 30th

The day began with the drum set being given to GbCc (so much joy was felt), a devotion by david miller and worship at GBCC before heading off to Alero Cuku for a medical outreach and vbs day. With the largest RH team yet, the day could have gone one of two ways. But God is good and it went seamlessly. Everyone was fully occupied with loads of ministry opportunities such as wound care, prescriptions, vbs, eye exams, evangelism, playing with kids or sharing testimonies. Over 800 people were able to receive free medical care and medications, while nearly 100 plus had wounds tended to as well as being prayed for by team members. Marlene and Frankie worked with those who needed glasses and overheard one man exclaim that he was so moved that after not being able to see to read for so long, how overjoyed he was that when he put his new glasses on that scriptures were the first thing he read. Such joy!
Meanwhile, jake held a mini soccer training for both the boys and girls and later the RH male shad a nice soccer match. It wasn't reported who the winners were so I am guessing it was the Ugandans. ;)
The body of Christ was evident so sweetly today as evidenced by the deep compassion the patti felt as she tended the wounds of those that were physically hurting. In one case, a young girl was in such need as she was sweetly tended to and unable to walk so Pete carried her from wound care, to medical, to retrieve her prescriptions. Oh to be the hand sand feet of Jesus.... Nothing better I tell you. Vbs was also happening during all of this so no soul, or age group, was left untouched. A few groups went hut to hut to share the gospel. David, Adam and Sophie were sharing with a man, Joseph, who had heard the gospel several times, but Witt the holy spirits prompting, today made the decision to follow Christ. Such a day.
Towards the end of the day, with all hands on deck to fill the prescriptions , Jeff and Haley shared their testimonies. A sweet 7 year old girl came right up after Haley shared so she too could know and follow this Jesus that haley spoke. So good.

The day was fabulous, the team is doing well and God is being glorified. I'd say that amounts to a pretty good day.

Rest should come easy to most tonight.
