Uganda has been an amazing experience for H.E.AL. Ministries. We have developed strong relationships with the Canaan Children's Home. Last night, as we listened to Pastor Isaac's testimony, I knew that we must come back. We will send more teams to assists this area. Pastor Isaac has a vision for orphan teams and women's ministry teams in the villages.

Today, our team spoke to the school. As we shared the three points that the Head of School asked us to share, God confirmed that we are where we are supposed to be. We shared about God, the importance of education and dreaming of careers. The majority of the children are from single mom homes. The majority of the children are so poor that they cannot afford shoes or even school uniforms that are required. Our prayer is that we left them with the realization that they can be anyone they want to be through Christ. It doesn't matter what their situation or family life is like. God is Father to the Fatherless.

I was so pleased as I looked around and took pictures. I was pleased because everyone was smiling and laughing and playing games. All twelve team members have been just that. They have been team members here to make a difference. Once again, God showed me a day of His glory through the lens of a camera: laughter at school, children eating and dancing and playing and learning and enjoying life. This is why I was pleased as I looked through the lens.
