Prayer Answered! Update by Tessa at 10:31 pm on Sun 3/15/2015 My grandpa is back now! He is totally exhausted, and he got a little sick while he was in Uganda, but he said that overall it was a very uplifting and inspiring experience for him. He said that it really showed him how blessed we are compared to the complete poverty of many orphans in Africa. Often times, we tend to complain about little things, like burnt marshmallows (don't even ask...:D), so much that we don't look at the big picture and appreciate what we do have. I think their team was very successful in helping the orphans, and they were definitely a blessing. Please pray for the orphans in Africa to praise God, even when they feel like all hope is lost.
Original Prayer Request
About a week ago, my Grandpa Mike went on a mission trip with his church to Uganda. Lately, he and his team have been working on building a medical clinic for the children in Uganda who need surgery and have other disabilities. Since my grandpa is a retired doctor, he will be able to help with medical issues and answer important questions. They will also be bringing some orphans back to America with them, because in Uganda they don't have many skilled surgeons to preform surgery on the handicapped children. He is planning on coming back home next Sunday. Please pray that his team is a blessing to the orphans and disabled children in Uganda, and that his team will shine God's light brightly on everyone they meet. Thank you!
