This program was created to rip your heart out and tear it into tiny little pieces! Tomorrow is my last day in Lira, Uganda. I thought about writing a blog post about all of the great things God has done in just 4 short months. But every time I sit down to write it, I start crying. I was put together with 12 other people from all over the USA and Canada, forced to live with them for 4 months in a country where we're are only support system, then quickly torn apart! This is awful.
I was going to end my blog there, but I then I remembered I wanted to ask something of all of you who are reading this! First I would like to ask for prayer for my friend Esther. Esther is 13 years old, in the hospital, weighing only 39 lbs. I would appreciate prayers for healing in this little girls body and that God would revile himself so strongly in this time, that she never feels alone! Second, for the kids at Atin Africa and Child Restoration Outreach. These are the two ministries our team has been working with that work with street children. Our whole team has fallen in love with them and it's going to be heart breaking saying goodbye tomorrow! Starting tomorrow our team will just have to trust God with these children. It's not going to be easy, but fortunately I have a God that doesn't care if a child is smelly, high, drunk, dirty, or homeless- He loves them anyway!
Thanks for the prayers and I'll see you all in a week!
<3 Darby
