She's Back!

And it feels good!

I went back to Unga today and met with Mama Diwani, Mary and the ladies who work in the local Compassion Project office! There were squeals, hugs, questions and laughter as I told them about the last couple months, explained why I hadn't been there but also shared with them that I was back...that's where the squeals came in...from all of us!

It felt so good to be back, to walk around Unga, and to see those kiddos and mama's that I have been getting to know the last several months. It was good to embrace them, to hear about life since my last visit and yet, it was even good to get my feet dirty.

After a short walk through the neighborhood I met with Mama Diwani and Mary and talked about the next few weeks. After the vision seminar a few of those who attended wanted more info. They wanted to see "CHE" in action, so we decided to plan a field trip of sorts, to one of our Rural CHE sites that is about 1/2 hour from town. So pray, as on Nov 16 we will take a small group out, to see CHE as well as hear from those who took the leap themselves and are ministering in their community! Pray that they get a picture of the impact they can have in Unga, and also embrace the idea of sharing Christ with their neighbors using this tool!

We also set a date for our first TOT! A TOT is a week long seminar, the acronym stands for Training for Trainers. This is HUGE! Several have already said they want the training necessary to do CHE in their neighborhood, so the week of Nov 19 we will meet with about 10-15 of them each day to give them the skills necessary to start a CHE project. I think this calls for a celebration dance! Pray as we prepare for this week of training, it will be my first time as officially training as well! Its a bit overwhelming, but very very exciting!

It was a good visit to Unga, and I must admit, that I am very tired but very excited. I am thankful for what God has done in my time away from there, but also very thankful that I still get to minister in the community! I also am very psyched that I get to go to Unga Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week! YAHOOOO!
