Road Warriors Reach Brussels

We've made it out of Africa! Fourteen hard but great days on the ground in Uganda came to an end last night when our BrusselsAir flight taxied and departed Entebbe only moments before midnight on Sunday night. We all agreed that we looked as if we had been rode hard and put up wet to borrow an equine saying. 

The last few days in Uganda literally flew by before we knew it. It took us the better part of three days to get the last 16 or so kids on our list! Our final total was 270 kids in over 100 schools! Angie and Danielle were troopers! I'm so proud of them and all they were able to do. I was able to preach and teach nearly every night as well as each Sunday. I may share a message Sunday with you that I preached at EPC Kiwatule on our last Sunday together. It was a moving gathering that I can't wait to share more with you about. 

We have arrived in Brussels on her national independence day. All kinds of festivities are planned. We were able to have a preview this morning when the national cathedral held a special Mass for visiting dignitaries and EU members. They all turned out in their finest regalia. We are expecting fireworks outside of the kings castle later on tonight. Until then - some rest! Thanks again for your continued prayers. We will be back in the states on Thursday afternoon.
