God is providing!

We would like to thank all of you who have been praying for us as we prepare to head to Uganda in December. It has been a while since we have posted an update, so let's get you all caught up on how God is providing for our trip!

As of Thursday (two days ago) we have a pretty much finalized itinerary. We will be departing on December 28, 2009. We will fly from Washington to London. Originally we were going to have about 12 hours to spend in London between flights which we were very excited about! I (Rachel) have never been to London before so we were excited to have a few hours in which we could do a little sight seeing. God has changed that though and given us 25 hours in London! Our plan now it to arrive in London at 9:00 AM their time. We will get a hotel room and freshen up a bit before heading out to explore the city! After a what we are sure will be a very tiring day, we will be able to get a fairly good night's sleep before getting on the plane for Uganda the next morning around 10:00 AM.

God is also beginning to provide the funds that we need. Tomorrow evening our home church (Twin City Bible Church) will be collecting a love offering for us! We have also had some people who we have met through Mike's job who have given us some money toward the trip. Several opportunities for support through local churches in our area are also "in the works".

We praise God for his provision!
Thank you all for your continued prayers!
