Fred, David, William and all those involved in the Jalle project want to express their gratefulness to everyone who has donated clothes and cash for the children of Jalle. We are absolutely AMAZED by your response to the team’s request. There is no doubt that Grace Chapel is filled with God’s people, that is, those who not only see and hear the need of the suffering but who respond by giving sacrificially.
As Team # 2 prepares to leave on Monday for Sudan, we will not only be resupplying Team # 1 with a large supply of Sweet Sue Chicken, MREs, Gatorade, clothes/shoes and SOFT tp, but we will also be taking 4 large, crammed-to-the-brim duffle bags of clothes. These bags represent about 800 shirts, shorts, dresses and underwear you have donated for the children of Jalle. We also plan to purchase a large number of mosquito nets when we arrive in Kampala to take to Jalle to help reduce the risk of children contracting malaria. Again, all of this is possible due to your compassionate hearts and generosity toward a people you have never even met! This is truly what it means to be Jesus to the poor and suffering.
We will be bringing home many photos to post when we return on March 19th so stay tuned!
Please also keep both teams in your prayers.
Gratefully,
Rick
