Off to Uganda!

Hello everyone! We are heading off to Uganda in several hours. We will be there Sunday to Wednesday. Pray for our protection, apparently the driving in Uganda is very crazy and dangerous. They have a saying, "Everyday you don't get into an accident, is a miracle."

So much has happened the last few days, but I don't know if I will have enough time to write it before I come home. I might just have to tell you our experiences in person.

The women have been completing necklaces and they look very nice. Megan and I are going to buy all of them that they make before we leave, and then turn around and sell them in the US. It looks like we are going to found an organization working with these women and find sponsors for them in the US to start small businesses. The first person we are going to help is Auntie, to start a salon. I was thinking we could call this new organization Rahabu Ministries. Rahab in the bible was a prostitute who believed in the true God and because of her faith, she was saved. All of the women we are helping are former prostitutes, but have been saved by faith. I feel like this will be a very big responsibility to take on. We are going to become in charge of the whole association of the women that are here and help them manage their businesses and selling the necklaces. We are not sure of every thing that this will entail, and we need a lot of pray about it. An idea we had was that missionaries here could take the necklaces the Rwandan women make and then we would sell them in the US. This would mean we would need to become affiliated with New Life Ministries, and maybe even action, because we would be needing short term missionaries in the area to be taking the beads to the US. Anyway, if anyone has insight, good ideas, or even a better idea for an organization name(I don't know what the women will think of the name), just let me know!
