CJ James: It has been such a blessing to be a helper in the five and six year old class at Holiday Bible Club. Although chaotic, it brings great joy to my heart to see kids that don’t know the Lord grow in their faith through the gifts of others. Such as my sister’s great acting as she told the story of Eve today. The kids in my classroom were shocked to hear the story of the garden of Eden for the first time.
Michael & Cindy Bryant: Today, we had the privilege of making our second MediCradle delivery. This one to Bweyale Medical Center, a private healthcare facility serving the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement. Kiryandongo is home to over 166,000 people, over half of whom are South Sudanese. The others are from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and Sudan. This placement was facilitated by Matgocni Presbyterian Church, SPC's Mission Partner in Kiryandongo.
Laura Eklund: Day two at Holiday Bible Club saw 70 kids and a lot of fun. On day one we talked about God‘s creation in the world, and today we talked about God‘s greatest creation: mankind. The kids got to hear a little bit of the gospel as they were told that man is made in God‘s image and created for a relationship with Him.
Madeline James: It has been so much fun to help with the four-year-old class at the Holiday Bible Club in Dornoch. If you've ever spent time with a room full of four-year-olds, you'll know that every day brings surprises.
Michael & Cindy Bryant: Today, we had the privilege of delivering our first MediCradle to Jinja Referral Hospital's NICU with some of our mission partners from Compassionate Women Initiative.
Nathan Walker: It’s has been a beautiful and warm Sunday in Northern Scotland. Our first full day began with the team attending morning service at Dornoch Free Church. We then walked through the highlands and by the sea to the nearby town of Enbo for lunch. Afterwards, we attended a team meeting back at the church to prepare of the upcoming week of HBC. Finally, we enjoyed dinner at the Manse before heading back to our hosts for the night.
Karl Kueser: O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants you have established strength…Psalm 8:1-2a (HBC Scripture memorization)
Isaac Wheat: It's not a very long update but there's not much to say, which I suppose is a blessing when it comes to travel. :o)
Charlotte Sanderson: One question I have been continuously asked as this project has come to an end is “what has been your favorite part or memory?” However, when you spend two weeks in a place that is so drastically different from where you typically live, it is hard to pick only one.
Shannon Montgomery: This morning the media team and I wrapped up our work from the past two weeks. I went into this project never having been at this site and not knowing anyone who had done it in the past. So I didn’t know what to expect. But in hindsight it’s clear to me that this was exactly where God wanted me.
