Brown team 2 Heads to Amazing Grace

Caleb, John, Ashley, and Liz have arrived safely at the Amazing Grace orphanage. The photo above is when the team piled in the van for the early morning departure (4 AM!). They spent several days in Kampala purchasing materials for the time in Southern Sudan. Edwin Angote wrote:

"The economy in Southern Sudan is under-developed, everything comes in from Uganda and that's why most of the building materials are bought here in Kampala because of the high prices in Sudan."

The visitors from the U.S. also spent time getting to know the 15 orphans in Susan's home. They purchased a tub of ice cream for the kids a few days ago which was enjoyed immensely! Little Catherine Juan is see below dipping out some of the chocolate.

They were also able to purchase a used motorcyle for the work in Southern Sudan, and Caleb has been setting up a couple computers that were donated from his old workplace.

Please pray for this team as they head up into Sudan. Pray that they will be healthy and safe, and that they will be an encouragement for the Sudanese and Ugandan children they will be visiting.

Thanks to all of you supporters of this team. Susan is so encouraged by the team's presence. She wrote yesterday:

"I have peace since those of Edwin and Caleb came by because they are shouldering the work and I have enough time for laughing and singing Arabic Gospel songs. Ashley and those who came with her are wonderful people as well."
