Ugandaway

PLEASE be in prayer for a young missionary, Lindsay Laliberte, getting ready to leave for Uganda, Africa. She is in our missional community and my family will miss her terribly!

This is what Lindsay is going to do:

"Beginning in March, 2010, my dear friend Carly Batten and I will be living and working alongside each other in a school/orphanage called Victor’s Junior Christian School in Mukono, Uganda. Our primary goal there will be to develop and run a discipleship program for 60 to 100 Ugandan girls who are transitioning from mid school to high school. I will to serve help them reach their fullest God given potential by being a friend, coach and maybe the only caring adult in their lives and to help them develop spiritually, socially, and succeed academically as they make their lives a testament to the power of Christ’s love. I will also be using my various gifts, skills, and abilities to demonstrate Christ’s love for the 1,000 students at the school who have never known such love. As someone whose life has been transformed by the love of Christ, I believe our bringing Christ’s love into Victor’s school will have a lasting and transforming effect on the lives of both the children and staff members there. It is my hope that God will multiply the fruit of our labor by using the lives we touch to transform Uganda and further his kingdom.

In addition to these primary goals, Carly and I will be serving as liaisons between True Vine Ministry (the Ugandan church which runs Victor’s Junior Christian School) and Children’s Heritage Foundation (the American ministry that partners with True Vine Ministry) as well as assisting with administration and evaluation of the Uganda child sponsorship program."
