Today was the start of the 2011 Envisioning - it is a time for all the staff of New Hope Uganda - those from Kasana (Our Main Site), Musana Camps (Our New Camp that we are in the process of developing. Located on the shore of Lake Victoria), Musana FM (Our local Radio Station whose mission statement is "To Shine and Transform." Located in one of our nearest villages, Kiwoko), and Kobwin Children's Centre (Another centre that has been developed in northern Uganda) It was a great day of sessions and really refocusing ourselves about why we have been called here. "Your name and renown, are the desire of our hearts." Isaiah 26:8. It has been a big challenge to examine this and not just let it be a 'Theme Verse' for the year, but rather a constant pursuit of our hearts as we are called to serve as we bring the Fatherhood of God to the Fatherless.
I finally took some real steps to unpacking...I would usually have most of it done the day I reached here, so this isn't quite like me, but I think more of the culture is rubbing off on me.
Power has been on in the mornings and the evenings, which is much better than having nothing at all. No snakes, bats, rats or caterpillars for me yet, but I will keep you all posted.
