Foreign Staff Retreat in Jinja
Dinner time
May 6th-9th was New Hope's 3rd annual foreign staff retreat, but our first. It was held in beautiful Jinja on Lake Victoria at the source of the Nile river. It was a joy for us to better get to know and fellowship with the whole team of foreign staff both old and new, which includes Christ followers from the U.S. and the U.K. who all have hearts to see the fatherless come to know our Father and experience His fatherhood. It was refreshing to have facilitators George and Donna, former missionaries in Venezuela for many years who now have a ministry of encouraging other missionaries around the world.
On May 23 we picked up my cousin Lydia from Kampala. Lydia was with the Anderson University team working with the Stevenson's in their childcare ministries and will be with us at New Hope helping in a variety of ministry aspects through mid July.
