I shared with some of our walkers the prayer that’s been on my heart since last Saturday.  It’s Philippians 1:6:

He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.

The message version ending says, “and bring it to a flourishing finish”.  So that’s what I’m praying.  That God will bring things to a flourishing finish.

*That we would finish the 30,000 steps project and accomplish our financial goals
*That we would finish the orphanage in our week in Uganda
*That God would finish His work in team members lives individually on our team

Anyway, here was the update from giving:

*After week 1 we had raised $8,000
*After week 2 we had raised $18,000

I just got an update today and we’re at $27,000!!!  Praise God for all those who have teamed with us to build this orphanage.  What an amazing confidence booster for our trip - that God is providing, that people are responding, and that our hard work is seeing dividends for these children.
