The team arrived at our hotel last night after an amazing day....we sensed God's presence every step of the way! The first church and orphanage construction site we visited was in a village setting far off the main paved road. As the bus drove up, we could hear the rhythmic sound of drums and voices and clapping hands. The old ladies and young children could hardly contain their excitement. Women were cooking food over an open fire situated beside mud huts. A tent supported on poles is the temporarycovering for the congregation to gather. Just behind the gathering, we saw the beautiful church being constructed. The workmen were laying brick for the walls....the pile of hand made bricks were waiting to be used. The community elder spoke with great pride over this miracle happening in their village....the answer to his many years of prayer! Their village was being transformed by having a church building of their very own! To God be the glory! It is Satrudaymorning now in Uganda and we are off to a worship service at another church orphanage project....can't wait to see what God has in store!
