Wow, this is awesome. The team I've been with these last couple of weeks has been great. We have gone into many different orphanages, yet done the same. Prayed over the children, breaking curses, blessing them with a fathers/mothers blessing. The homes are very different both in size of the houses and in how many children they have. Some have 60 children others have 12. They have all been happy to see the "Muzungu" which is the white person. Most of the children are screaming, jumping and shouting when they see the land rover coming. The children run to greet you, the girls kneel in front of you as a way of respect and shake hands - the boys shake hands. Some take a little while to warm up, but then by the time we leave they ask when we are coming back to stay the night.
Some of the children have said that they feel very free when the prayers are done, they sense that things are different. Praise the Lord. We believe that things have happened in their lives, and that they will see the consequences later on in life.
In one of the homes we went to, 2 of Joseph Kony's children was present. Joseph Kony is the leader of the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army). It's so encouraging to know that they are there, and get christian influence. We believe that more of his children will come into orphagage homes.

Praise God Inger. You are awesomeness indeed. I havent replied to your email yet, but I will, or maybe I will here.
Belief, what does it mean to believe?..............beats me? Not a clue. It's so foundational, so automatic, so free, that the mechanics of it are beyond knowing..........maybe. I liken it to a kid who just believes that their parents will take care and provide for them. They don't give it a second thought. They don't need to, cause it's just a natural 'belief'. Hmmmm..........not quite sure.
Bless you Inger. I plan on returning to Africa by august, at the absolute latest.
Uganda Rocks!!! Keep burning with the fire of the Holy Spirit! God is getting ready to take you deeper than you have ever gone before. Are you READY?
