And she's off!

My bestest friend forever and ever, miss ellie mestas, left yesterday morning for a two-week missions trip to Uganda! She has such an amazing heart for orphans and missions, and has started a ministry called Etaala International She has put together a whole team of people to go on this trip. And I know God is going to do amazing things through them these next few weeks!
Please pray for safe travel (They should be somewhere in London by now?), the airlines will be able to get all their luggage to where it needs to go, for good health and energy, and that people will be able to see God's light shining through them in all that they do and say. They are going through an organization called Safewater Nexus, an awesome ministry whose goal is to provide clean drinking water, hygiene training, better medical access and safe environments for orphans and other vulnerable groups, mainly in Uganda and Haiti.

They will be giving out much needed mosquito nets, holding hygiene clinics to train people how to clean their water jugs and prepare them for NEW CLEAN WATER!
On this particular trip, they will be dedicating a new well that will be providing clean water for hundreds of people, holding fun filled game days in orphanages, volunteering in a baby orphanage, building a structure for the local Church to meet in, and so much more.

I am so excited for everyone on this trip, and can't wait to hear all their stories when they get back. And oh LORD WILLING I will be able to join them on the next trip.
