I Am Going Back!!!

Some think I am crazy, some think I am doing the wrong thing, but I know what my heart says. My heart is in Uganda and until my feet hit Ugandan soil, I won't be complete. Yes I love my children but I will only be gone a little while. But I have children there too, children that need me, children that need to know Jesus's love and who can argue that?



June of this year I traveled to Uganda with my heart full for its people. My husband and I stayed with Christie and George Magera. They have given hope to a once witchcraft village, but there is still so much more to do. God put Christie and George in my life for a reason and it was a divine appointment and right on time. My life was headed no where. I had quit college because I couldn't afford to travel, let alone student loans. And just so happen God showed up and my life hasn't been the same since. So my husband and I set out for Uganda. I was so overwhelmed with the love I had for this place. It was so beautiful, but filled with so much hopelessness. I did NOT want to leave. These people need us. They need to know someone cares. They need to know the love of God. They are hopeless. They live day to day not knowing if they or their children will live. They don't have healthcare. They don't have food. They think they have no reason to live, but that is why God uses us. He wants us to help our brothers and sisters across the world.


So with that said, I am going to take over things they need, such as formula, clothes, etc. If you have any powdered formula or know anyone that has any, please contact me stormy_jones2008@yahoo.com. Formula is very important because AIDS is a big problem there and babies can get it through the mother's breast milk if she is infected. And if you feel lead to donate toward my trip, you can do so to the left of the blog post or send a check. Email me for my address. Plane fare is high, but I know God will provide. Thank you for reading and God bless.


And if you want to know about Christie's wonderful story, including her love story, click on the link to the right that says "Compass in My Heart"


This is what hope looks like, a before and after. No one told her to smile. She knows she is loved.
