Winnipeg Discipleship Training School

Previous Post - Outreach Update 5 - Welcome Home Team!

After five months of seeking and serving God, both here and throughout Uganda, our 2007 Discipleship Training School has come to a close. The team has truly been transformed by God's grace as He led us through this journey. The only thing more difficult than trying to articulate the depth of change we have experienced is saying goodbye to one another.

However, we are excited that so many of us live quite close together. Further, some are prayerfully considering returning to join our YWAM team full time. Whatever happens, the friendships forged and the transformation that has taken place will leave us all forever connected by this experience. God is good!

As the DTS has been in Jinja and Kampala with little to no internet access, we have not had an update on their last week or so.  However, last night they arrived back in Winnipeg safely to begin the their final week of debrief before heading home.  I promise to get an update onf their last few days in Uganda up later this week.  Until then, I thought you would all be happy to know they arrived back in one piece.

Hello everyone,
 
I'm writng you from Jinga, Uganda.  We made it safely from Soroti to Jinga and we are now staying in a small house in a village near the city.  We are working with a YWAM ministry called Hopeland.  It is a clinic in the village that works with HIV/AIDS as well as working to immunize the local children.  They have a clinic that works with pregnant women and there are some people on their staff who do physical therapy with disabled children in the village.  They work with the kids but they also work with the parents so that the parents know how to work with their children.

We have been able to help with the different ministries and we have been rotating through them so that each of our students can work with a large variety of ministries.  On Sunday our team was split up so that we could visit several different churches in the village, they were all very excited to have visitors.  This Sunday we are planning to all go to the same church so that we have a chance to stay together as a team.
 
I have been retested for malaria and it seems to be gone!  I was retested on Sunday but they said that it could be the medication that was preventing it from showing up on the test so they tested again today and it is still not showing any malaria.  Other than that I have been staying pretty healthy on this trip.  Please pray for continued health with me as well as the rest of our team.  We leave Jinga on Monday and will be spending the remainder of our time in Kampala (the capital).  Please pray for safe travels.
 
God bless,
Michelle
