An Update on my Uganda Trip!

Hello my friends,


I want to start by saying thank you to all of those that have sent prayers, letters, emails, phone calls/texts and financial support for my upcoming Uganda trip in July!

I wanted to give a quick update to let you all know how things are progressing…

I am still in need of approximately $1,100 in order to purchase my plane ticket ($2,410) and am hoping to do so by April 30th or I will lose my reservation. Due to the World Cup and Summertime, airfare is quite pricey and space is limited. If you’re interested in supporting me financially, I would greatly appreciate your help in these coming weeks as this is the first and largest task that I need to accomplish.

I have priced out all of the sporting equipment for the children and I’m working on raising the money for these items as well.

I have been in touch with ACTION International in Gulu and have heard that the children are excited for my return and eager to show me the electricity they had connected last month! I can hardly wait to get my arms around those sweet kids!

I pray daily that the Lord will use me to do HIS work and that the children will have open hearts and minds to the work that I look forward to helping with.

Again, I appreciate all of your support as I continue following my passion on this journey! Thank you!!

I have attached a response card for your convenience if you feel led to support me in this way.

In His hands,

Sarah Jean Groenink
