Wanted to share a huge win. The team of NCCers that went to build an orphanage in Uganda got back a week ago. They built the orphanage in 2 1/4 days! I guess they built it in record time!
Here is the huge win. I honestly didn't think we could raise $30,000 for the project, but thank God for people with more faith than me! As of yesterday, we've raised $44,287.41. All I can say is praise God. If I'm reading James 1:27 accurately, then this may be the most significant thing we've ever done as a church!
For pictures and a recap of the trip, check out the Uganda Blog!

Awesome!!
Oh man...that's so awesome! One of the pastors just showed the "Invisible Children" video at one of our services last week and it train-wrecked the church. Praise God for what He's doing through your church in Uganda!
Praise God for what He does with our mustard seeds!
I just returned from India and Sri Lanka, chasing lions there! I wanted you to know that your message of inspiration was shared with the National Women With a Mission in India and Sri Lanka to encourage them in their effort to reach 100,000 by 2010! If you want to follow our two week journey you can find excepts on my blog at www.belindakendall.typepad.com! Thanks for your encouragement and challenge to jump into the pit with the lion!
Mark - is the Uganda partnership something that is on-going for you guys? Are you planning on maintaining a long-term relationship with the church there?
If you are, VERY interested in talking with you.
Chris,
In my preliminary discussions with Joel, our pastor of missions, I think we'll go back and build another orphanage. I really think it'll be an ongoing relationship!
Mark
