The Girls get a new Aunty!

On a snowy, cold and slightly nerve-wracking morning just after Christmas, the wonderful Sarah put the final things into her suitcases, not quite believing that everything she was going to use for the next 12 months (at least) was tightly packed into the two bags in front of her.

Sarah was about to start a journey she'd started planning only a few months earlier - prompted by prayer, prophesy and a deep conviction of God's call on her life, she'd given up her job as a Physio, said her goodbyes to her family and friends, packed up her flat, undergone cross-cultural mission training, had many planning sessions with us, and booked her flights - she was ready to become the Girls Home Aunty.

Touching down in Uganda in time for a New Years Eve she never experienced before (all night prayer meeting anyone?!) Sarah has flung herself/been flung headlong into serving the poor of Nyendo. She's our Girls Home Aunty, responsible for the White Eagle Girls, our deputy-Manager, responsible with Emily and Julius for the smooth running of the project and is involved in our Hospital Ministry and Youth Club. She got a pretty enthusiastic welcome from the staff and White Eagles too!

You'll be hearing plenty more about Sarah on this blog...! For now, we wish her all the best and we're so excited about what God is going to do in her life, and in others' lives through her. Amiina!
