Hand On

In January, a team of 4 “short term” people came out to join our team. Brigette Bedoya, Jessica Corzine, Jeff Turner and Evan Johnson came to work along with Kelli and Alissa with student ministry. Here was a lot of work that took place. Many relationships were built, several small ministries were started. Brigette and Jessica were excited to start playing netball with some local children at Arua field and then have Bible study afterwards. Evan and Jeff started meeting with piki drivers discussing the Bible and the difference between Christianity and Islam. They also went out and worked in the schools. Close to the end of their term the students went on holiday. So the hands on team, plus Kelli, Alissa, Evan, Trevor and myself hosted volleyball and Bible study time at our house (the girls house). The students learned how to use SPEAK (Sin, Promise, Example, Application and Knowledge of God) for being able to study scripture a bit deeper. Later on after Hands On left, many of the students that were reached out to, attended a week- long camp for storying, SPEAK, and learning how to tell their testimonies. We also had many good times. The guys got to go camping on the delta of the Nile at Murchison Falls National Park and had some good game drives. Later on the girls went and spent the night at Paraa Safari Lodge. We got to see and experience traditional dancing as well as had some awesome game drives.
