The first picture below was taken on our first mission trip to Uganda in 2012. We were a naive engaged couple to say the least. God was working on us overtime to prepare our hearts together for His calling on our lives. Continue reading
Wow, what a team! This past week Abaana’s Hope was honored to host a team full of ladies from Myron West’s home church. They came ready to serve in any way possible, but their main focus was the children. God tells us in Proverbs 22:6 to direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it. At Abaana’s Hope we are trying to teach the children the ways of the Lord, and this team helped us organize our first Children’s Conference at Abaana’s Hope.
Once upon a time I owned a shirt (or maybe two) that I loved with all of the National FFA Organization Agriculture passion in side of me. And people, at the time, that was a lot! The shirt was one of my all time favorite graphic fitted tees, because what high school kid in the early 2000’s did not like a good graphic tee?!
The shirt was an FFA graphic black tee with lipstick writing saying, “women make agriculture look good.” I have searched high and low for a picture of the shirt and have come up short. But, trust me, it was a dandy one! 😉
Today, I remembered this shirt as I watched several women getting after it on the Abaana’s Hope farm. It is the first harvest of the year in Northern Uganda and there is a lot of work to be done the old school way by manual labor without a tractor.
Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.For the Lord Most High is awesome,
the great King over all the earth.He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.Psalm 47:1-3
This past Wednesday Abaana’s Hope was bursting at the seams with laughter, singing, dancing, and so much joy! Over 300 children came to hear about Jesus and have fun at AH. And they did just that! The Gardendale First Baptist Church sent a team of people full of Christ’s love and youthful energy.
