God has been wonderful!!!!

Our Team visited the prison on the second day of our missions. I believe all of are us are not the same as we left. This is the only picture which was taken because government here doest not allow people to enter prison cells with cameras. Our Team prayed, worshiped and shared with the jolly inmates and i was persornally touched when i saw inmates worshiping without any worries but it was visible that some of them had grief in their hearts. As we leave fortportal, we will back on your to pray for them and for the people down here who are going to follow up of them (ACF Fortportal Program Implmentation Committee).

We are now safely through the very first (and easiest) leg of our trip. We are eagerly waiting to return to Kampala for the second leg of our mission trip to Kumi (Northeastern Uganda). Two members of our team (Brother Festus and Sister Joy) will be going back to the USA this Saturday, keep them in your prayers. Everyone is doing well and in good spirits. Traveling is stressful at times, but everyone seems to be in eager anticipation of returning to friends and family. From a few conversations it appears that closure and contentment are surrounding us as a team. We are excited about what the Lord has done, but are content with where He now has us.
Brother Festus (Team Leader) sharing with the people who came for medical missions. Five people gave their love to Jesus there. In the bcakground are  Grace, Mama Grace, Florence, Cathy, Irene and Phiona.

As a quick update if no word has already been passed along, Jessica, Joy, & Joan are all doing well. Henry has a bit of a sore throat and has some sinus stuff but they were in great spirits when we left today. It was bittersweet saying "see you later" to them this morning, but we are so comforted knowing that there is someone to carry on for us as we come home. Please continue to pray for them as they will be staying long term and this coming week looks to be very busy with a lot of strategic planning. Brother Raymond has several meetings Monday and then on Tuesday he'll be meeting with the principals of our schools and ACF sponsored children in Kumi and government officials, where he'll discuss how we can continue to partner with them and see further people reached with the love of Christ.
That about does it from here...thank you all for your prayers.

Our Sharon was very instrumental in the pharmarcy. She has power, unity and zeal to serve.
We distributed over 600 reading glasses.

Some of the desperate faces that we met.

.............and we continue to pray for more journey mercies as we travel for our second leg to Kumi.
