at Kampala... safe & sound

Hello to all...

this is my first blog, so please be patient with me, i hope it works...

We left Soroti at 6:30am yesterday morning in a van and a ute heading for Kampala. Was weird to leave our house knowing we weren't going back. After a long day of bumpy travels and sore bumped heads, we got to Kampala at about 3:30pm, dumped our stuff in our guest house and headed to 'the Surgery' to find out our Malaria verdicts... and i am pleased and excited to tell you that we got the results this morning and it appears that NONE of us have malaria, or show any evidence of EVER having malaria... God is good, and there is no way we can not give him credit for this, whether the tests in Soroti were wrong or we were miraculously healed, God has most obviously had his hand on the steering wheel and led us here to Kampala... and i know i'm looking forward to seeing what he has in store for us here... so big note to parents: WE ARE ALL OK!!!!

To the IT staff: you have a good one with Adam, he has handled it so well and led us through it all amazingly, and i know he has appreciated your help and we have too, so thankyou for your encouragement and prayers!

Thanks to everyone everywhere praying for us... we have felt them, and appreciated them greatly...

Keep praying...

I'm going to try attach some pix for you, hopefully they work...

Love Jane xo

Adam and the Uganda team,

Praise God! All of us at ITAU have been fervently praying for you since the news of the malaria. I was amazed and blessed to hear of God's work in the health of the team during that time. God is indeed GREAT and awesome! Our God is an awesome healer-God, and one who is surely walking with you in this journey! Praise be to God! :)

Adam - be encouraged! We are praying for you as you continue to lead the team in your time remaining in Uganda. May you continue to lead with courage and love!

Blessings,

Deb

Hellooooo team!

My appologies for not writing anything sooner but I only just found out today (when I visited the IT office) that this site existed.

As the IT Sydney group prayed we thanked God that there were no malaria issues. You may be back home by now - I'm sure you all did a wonderful job the community will be very thankful!

I pray you all enjoyed the experience and that you have been challenged by the Lord.

We shall see you soon Sarah and Chris and I will try not to harass you with 101 qns on the area. I love the fact that I will be going there too.

All the best for '07 guys
