Care & Compassion
One of the most impactful activities for the team has been Care & Compassion. Five or six team members load up a van taxi with food, mattresses and clothing. They spend the day visiting with the poorest families in the area, praying with them, helping with chores and bringing gifts. It's the closest most of us will get to how many of the people of Mpigi really live.
Today I'm posting a photo essay from one of the first days out on Care & Compassion. Team member Pia Anturri contributed some of the photos.

We pray that the Holy Spirit will enable you to pass on His love to these dear people...and that He will hold your hearts as you see so much need.
Much love to Jonathan from Mom, Dad, and Sara at Green Bay.
Trevor - You have an incredible talent for capturing moments with authenticity. Thank you for allowing us to share in the journey.
To my brother and Lindsay - we are thinking of you and praying for you. It is a blessing to see your faces as you give.
Hi everyone - especially Brandon & Lindsay, Nigel & Yvonne! I'd also like to thank you Trevor for this blog - I look at it when I wake up, during the day, and before shutting down the laptop!
Thanks for the glimpse of the delivery of the clothes bags! Could we see more of them?
We too are praying for all of you,
Deb Drewlo

Hi everyone,
Thanks for being Jesus' hands and feet. I know he is smiling. I am praying for you.
In response to Tracey's comment, yeah the bubbles were pretty funny but we were agreeing that we've got it pretty good here. That said, I think Tracey IS Wonderwoman. I haven't seen her fly yet but she might just be too fast for the human eye.
