Welcome Timothy

Yesterday the three of us went out to go and see a new neighborhood.

We walked around and where scouting to see if it might be a place we would like to live.

It was quite and very good for us to get out as a family.

Sarah started to get tired as well as Jethro.

So I sent them on a Boda (motorcycle taxi), to go take a nap at home.

Later I found out that Jethro was so tired that he fell asleep on the Boda.

After they left I decided to head to Wandegeya where a few street kids hang out.

Before I got there I found a boy laying on the side walk on his side.

I could tell he was a street kid from his old dirty tattered clothes, no shoes, and the fact that he was only 13ish and sleeping on the sidewalk.

I stopped to give him some of my juice I had and to see if I knew him.

As he sat up I could see a road rash looking wound on his face. 

He was very disorientated and was not talking at all.

We walked together to go to the clinic to take care of his wound.

By the time we got to the clinic I could tell something was wrong with his head.

Amy the nurse looked at him and we spent some time with him to see what might be wrong.

She started to think that he might have epilepsy. He acted very much like that but no seizures.

None of the boys or uncles knew who this kid was, this is very uncommon.

Just as I  left he ended up having a seizure. 

This boy has to be scared lost and needs so much help. We do not know his name, where he is from, or if he had any family. There are so many unknowns. We are calling him Timothy for now.

So pray for this boy today. Keep is name on your mind you can do so much through prayer.

So Timothy you are my very special "Welcome Wednesday"

Welcome to my life Timothy.

On our way out the door

Are bags are packed we have said most

of our good byes, not much left till we move to Uganda.

We have answered the call to be full

time missionaries in Uganda.

We will be moving there full time at the end of the year.

We will be working with street kids, former prostitutes and the needy in Kampala, spreading the word of Christ. 

There are so many needs and we want to do what we can. 

Our hearts have been broken and our eyes have been opened.

 We can not walk away from what God has called us to.

The streets we are returning to

Kids we hope to build a school for

We are close to leaving and far from having all of

our finances taken care of. 

We are in a big need of sponsors to partner 

with us both in prayer and financially.

We do not have an organization or church supporting us, 

so we have to raise all of our money ourselves.

How can you help?

We are praying for monthly sponsors that 

will pledge to sponsor us monthly. 

If that is not for you, then a one time donation is also appreciated. We know that God is calling us to Uganda and that he is going to put  our need on to the hearts of those he wants to sponsor us. 

There is never a story of God not being able to do his work because of finances. He just needs warm, willing bodies to say I will go. 

There is no donation too small or too big.

Donating is very easy, 

just click the donate button on the right side of the blog.

If you have questions or want to donate via check, E-mail us at journeyfortheorphan@gmail.com. 

PLEASE feel free to get a hold of us with any questions, comments or if you just want to know more about 

what we are doing to spread the love of Christ 

to the needy in Uganda.

 We would love to get to know who is partnering with us.
