Blown Away!
Can I just say how blessed and blown away we are will all the support we have received from everyone for the trip! We are all allowed to take 3-50lb bags with us on the plane from ATL to Uganda for FREE! But, the flight from Pensacola to ATL was going to cost us about $100 a person to get all that luggage there. Through some great friends and friends of friends the money that we needed for that short flight for all of us came in! God is great! In each of those bags we have collected donations for the Sonrise Baby and Children's Homes, the workers, and the surrounding villages to take with us. Items like: Formula, Diaper, Toys, Blankets, Hats, Shoes, Soaps, Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, bottles, Water hoses, etc... Our stuff that we need will be in our carry ons. We still have items coming in! THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has supported us and the Sonrise Ministry! Thank you for the prayers and continue to keep us and everyone we come in contact with in your prayers!
We Will Go
I heard this song the other day and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Mandi Mapes wrote this last year...
Lonely lay a little baby crying for her fathers arms
Sunlight seems to be fading as the smoke rises from the war
Woman thirsting for water watching as her life slips away
Men come falling on their faces praying to a god who cannot save
So we will go, to the end of the world
Bringing good news to the broken and the poor
There is hope, for all who are thirsty
To come to the well and drink of his mercy
The Devil Comes to kill and ruin, But our life is hidden in the Son
So we'll raise our banner cause the wars not over, but it's already won
For He came and died to save and rose up from the grave the King of Kings
So we'll raise our voices, full of truth and justice and let them ring
So we will go, to the end of the world
Bringing good news to the broken and the poor
There is hope, for all who are thirsty
To come to the well and drink of his mercy
All who call upon the Lord will be saved
But how can they call when they don't believe
And how will the believe when they've never heard
And how will they hear unless someone tells them
And how can they tell them if they're never sent?
So we will go, to the end of the world
Bringing good news to the broken and the poor
There is hope, for all who are thirsty
To come to the well and drink of his mercy
It's all for your glory God
For me, that last verse says it all. It's from Romans 10:13-15. Like I said in a previous blog, We are put here on this earth to Love, Serve, and Obey God. God has called us as Christians to Serve Him. We are to go to the ends of the world. To serve in the states and out. Those who go, need senders (prayerfully and financially). Everyone plays a vital part! Without the senders, we can't go. If we can't go, then how will they hear? The Bible says that God will not come back until everyone has heard. It is our job to spread God's word to the ends of the world. Go and Send!
