Progress in Kenya and Plans for Texas
Nick sent me these couple of pictures from Kenya this morning. A couple of posts ago I mentioned the head of the Anglican church had been apologizing for the treatment of the AIDS community there. Nick and Dr. Oronje attended one of these meetings, which attracted large crowds and Dr. Oronje and some others from the Silas Christian Foundation sang in the choir. Nick said the speech was excellent, and there is some positive movement from churches in the area in responding to the crisis. It's wonderful to hear this news.
Also, a kind partner of Lahash recently donated the money needed to purchase the car that will be used as an ambulance in the Silas and Munyaka slums! That purchase should be made within the next couple of days!
Bono's Speech
For those of you who haven't watched Bono's speech in video format, YouTube.com has a posting of the video clip.
March for the Children of Uganda - April 29
The situation of the Invisible Children is being revealed to the Portland community. Erik Wecks of Imago Dei is spurring on a goal of 1000 members of Imago Dei to join in the march locally. It is going to be a powerful opportunity to tell the press and the nation about the hellish war of Northern Uganda. I'm hoping to lend my voice to the movement. InvisibleChildren.com
Save Darfur March - April 30
As the world wakes up after the global night commute for the children of Uganda, the Save Darfur coalition is organizing a march on Washington to raise awareness of the issue. SaveDarfur.org
Another Annual Trip to Texas
The staff at Camp Eagle in Texas have asked me to work on their summer program and integrate the projects and people of Lahash into the weekly presentation! This will be an exciting opportunity to speak to a couple thousand kids in Texas and their youth leaders. I'll be flying down sometime in April for a couple weeks - and hope to network with the Lahash friends in that area as well.
Prayer Requests
* Please pray for the deteriorating security condition in Southern Sudan
* Elizabeth (from the Renew Program) asks for prayer as her father undergoes surgery
* The formation of the board and process of incorporation happening for Lahash this week
* We need prayer to connect with a volunteer coordinator for the United States contacts
