So 11 weeks have already flown by, which is hard to believe. And after 11 weeks of lecture and being filled up with God, it’s time to go out and practice what we learned. Where? AFRICA! The place I’ve wanted to go since as long as I can remember. God knows the desires of my heart, and made sure it was possible for me to go. He is so good.
My team of 17 people (15 students, 2 leaders, 8 different countries represented in our team- crazy!) leaves tomorrow from the base in Herrnhut, Germany. My flight is tomorrow night from Frankfurt to Dubai, from Dubai to right outside of Kampala, Uganda and then we drive by bus up to Yei, South Sudan where we will spend Christmas, and the first 5-ish weeks of our outreach. The next 4 weeks will be spent in Arua, Uganda. If you want to see our team newsletter, you can e mail me at hannah_mustgo@yahoo.com and I’ll send it to you (if I can… internet is not guaranteed in Africa).
I’ve come to know that YWAM is very unpredictable and spontaneous because we base most of our plans on what the holy spirit tells us to do. So as of this moment, we aren’t really sure what exactly we will be doing. All I know is that I get to work in orphanages (YAY!!!) and stay in villages and refugee camps. SO sick. Like I said, we don’t know our plans, but God sure does. And with a God like ours behind us, these plans are bound to be rad.
I’ve decided not to get on Facebook for the whole 9 weeks, so if you want to keep in contact with me, you can e mail me at the above address and I’ll try to get back to you. J God is SO good! Can’t wait to get home and tell you all amazing stories of how God moved in Africa! Prayers please! Love you all. <3
