Out first little snag. Going “Uganda Style”

Well we hit our first little snag. May not be a problem but might be – we have 3 of our team that forgot to bring their Yellow Shot records card. Kenya Air is asking for them so we are at the hotel now getting a little sleep & working on getting the yellow cards faxed to us before we leave London.

Be praying that families are hearing phones ring & emails going off @ 4 am to see the request to fax the cards to London.

The joys of travel. Stay tuned.

This is our 3rd trip to Jireh Children Center & School since 2008. FCA has partnered with Pastor Benjamin & Mama Jaque to help the 200 plus students who live & go to school @ Jireh. Our goal is to first love on the children & build teacher housing & a nursery as well as a medical & dental clinic. It’s going to be an adventure & way to much fun!
