Uganda and Sudan
Michael Christmas and Chris Westbrook have returned from Uganda! They left just over a month ago for a two week stay at the Amazing Grace Orphanage. While they were there they helped with some teaching, and left a guitar for the kids for music lessons.

Kim Davey (a friend from Imago Dei) will be traveling to Uganda next week. She'll be living at the Amazing Grace Orphanage and St. Bartholomew's Orphanage for 3 weeks each. Kim will be teaching the kids and staff English.

And Becca and Brandi will be traveling to Gulu for the summer - they left from Seattle yesterday. Becca (another writer for Relevant's online magazine) will travel to Amazing Grace to see if she can conduct some interviews. You can follow the two ladies on their journey with the blog: Unwritten Memoir

Kenya
Please pray for the team in Kenya at the moment. They've had two sudden deaths of close members in the community. Dr. Oronje is still grieving the loss of his daughter, and Josphine (from the Renew Program) lost her nephew who she was taking care of. The team is emotionally and physically exhausted through the illnesses and funerals of the past week.

New York
Tara Suri and her class from New York will be raising funds for the children of St. Bartholomew's! You can check out Tara's website with information on the partnership with St. Bartholomew's here. Hope Initiative
