Michael blog Today was a special day for me as i got to spend time with the children and family I sponsor in Uganda. After lunch I was taken by motorbike which was a scary ride and I got to see the children I must mentioned.

I enjoyed the devotion led by Rachel this morning. She spoke on perseverance, finishing the course and how we lack nothing on our journey with God. This inspired my day and was further enhanced as Daniel and Jody were in good form with constant jokes about me and the TEAM being ‘city kids’, as some of us are scared of the ‘outdoor creatures’!!!!!!!! I spent some time planning for the fun day …
This is Amit from TEAMS and we have finally arrived in Gulu! We arrived safely after a mammoth 16 hour journey from London and I personally am glad to be here.

This mission is no different and I sense it could actually be …

When I was first given the proposition of going on this missions trip, my thoughts went straight …
So, it’s finally Friday- which means different things to different people! For some, it shouts ‘welcome to the weekend;’ marking party time, movie nights, pay cheques or even just extra sleep! For me however, this particular Friday marks the 48hour countdown until I embark upon probably the most daring thing I’ve done in my lifetime so far. Yep, that’s how I will describe the mission to Uganda for me! It has been …

This is where, most of team Uganda 2013, will be en-route to London Heathrow terminal 5!!
