The Ugandan town we will be serving is called Kampala. While Watoto does a wonderful job ministering to children in the area, there is still a huge need. In fact, a few years ago, a young woman named Abby Tracy left moved from Phoenix, AZ to Kampala, Uganda to minister to kids and women in the slums of Kampala. As she set out on this great journey, she wrote these words:
So I leave on Monday for Africa and I am so excited, I am beginning to wonder how it is God is going to change me on this trip and the person I am going to be when I get back. It has so been on my heart lately to do something, to raise awareness, to stir the hearts of the people around me, to make a difference and I just know that this trip is going to so much better equip me to do this… I’m excited but I know that God is going to ask a lot of me and I pray that I will be up to the task.
With these words she began what is now a five year journey. Be sure to check out her online journal here: http://africa-love.livejournal.com/
