Hi Friends!

Our team of women will be traveling to Bethany Village, a rural community outside of Kampala, Uganda, on the banks of Lake Victoria. This community is made up of a primary school, a large farm, and orphanage homes caring for over 130 children. Bethany Village is a rural community with a strong vision to teach people and communities to become self sustaining, in a nation where jobs are scarce. Bethany is a part of African Renewal Ministries, a long time partner of A Jesus Church and Hear the Cry.

We will be working alongside the house moms and students of Bethany in their sewing training room and helping with jewelry making - by bringing supplies, purchasing additional machines and enhancing their skills, techniques and teaching methods. We will support their continued journey to develop skills that will equip young people, as they leave Bethany Village.

We will also spend time with these house moms and their families, who are each raising 15 children and running households by laughing, praying, encouraging and exercise! Health, fitness and other valuable life skills, will be great fun to share with these amazingly joyful people!

My personal hope is to be able to sit down with these house moms (and anyone else I can wrangle!) to listen to their stories and record them for future storytelling. Taking the time to live life alongside them for the short amount of time we are there and talk about how Jesus has absolutely changed our lives. I hope to build community and encourage/build up my lady teammates as we travel to and spend time in Uganda.

This trip absolutely changed my life last year.I'd love to tell you about all that has happened in the last year, so contact me! I have no idea what God has in store for this year and this trip and this team, but I am hopeful and expectant for Him to do amazing things.

If you have made it through reading all of this, thank you. I would LOVE your support in the form of prayer. We need prayer before we are there, as we travel, and as we get back. If you are able, I would love to ask for you to partner with me in ministry through financial giving. There's no way I could have done missions the last 7 years without the support of loved ones. Your donation is also tax deductible! 

If you have any questions/concerns/etc PLEASE don't hesitate to reach out to me. I would love to talk to you about why I am going/what we will be doing/etc. You can email me at courtney.stewart@ajesuschurch.org.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
