For the past 28 days I've been serving here at <a href="http://www.thegemfoundation.com/">The Gem Foundation.</a> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Gem Foundation was founded by Emma (read the amazing story <a href="http://www.thegemfoundation.com/about.php">here</a> of how it all began), and exists to take in children with special needs that other orphanages do not have the resources to take care of. Emma's has a huge heart for these children and it's awesome to see! Macey, who like Emma, has moved here indefinitely from America, to work for The Gem Foundation. Currently there are no children in the home, yet, but it could be any day now. They are just waiting on their final approval from the government. The Ugandan staff members are hired, the home is ready, and they even have some children in mind to transfer here as soon as possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So as you can imagine we've been doing a lot of praying, waiting, getting last minute things together, and attending meetings. But we didn't forget to have fun!</div>

The "teacher" inside of me always loves to visit schools here. I love to see how the classrooms differ from America and I'm always amazed that the children here learn 2 languages (English and Lugandan). Of course, when we arrived at the school it was a sight the children didn't want to miss. They were peeking out the windows of their classrooms, until it was break time and they all came running up to us to greet us.</div>

20 boys raised their hands to receive Christ after our testimonies and bible story! Wow!<br />

It was amazing to see them all be able to be a kid again. For those 5 hours they didn't have to worry about being hungry, being vulnerable, where to sleep safety, or how to survive.<br />

They really enjoyed everything we did and we saw so many smiles. It was a privilege to see so much joy in them. <span style="text-align: center;">They were amazing kids! So sweet and loving. I can't even imagine being in their shoes and living on the streets at night especially. Having no where to call home and no one to care for you. It was heartbreaking to think about. But today they were brought hope. Today they laughed. Today they were loved. The ministry that runs this program does such a great job! All their staff really love the children and are great christian leaders for them. What a great experience! </span>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13757656602852760492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928755647777365583.post-22852974025701657822014-06-17T05:02:00.003-04:002014-06-22T05:25:09.397-04:00Teaching School at API<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back on May 28th while the Go Team was still here we had the amazing privilege to teach the boys at <a href="http://aperfectinjustice.blogspot.com/">A Perfect Injustice</a>. These are boys who once lived on the streets of Kampala. Now they belong to a family, receive an education, and are shown the love of Jesus. They now have a hope and a future, and most importantly have the opportunity to be a part of God's family. It was amazing to go to the village where the boys live! It is a beautiful place with huge gardens, amazing homes, fun playgrounds, and beautiful views. The boys are home-schooled right on campus. The boys are all on different levels, some have never been to school, some have only been a few years when they arrive. So, in order to avoid embarrassment and shame from the other children in public schools the boys are taught everything here. There are also a few girls from the community that are enrolled in the school, because their families are not able to afford school fees. </div>

Our team of 8 divided up into pairs and taught the children different subjects. This was actually considered a fun day for the children and the teachers were able to get a much needed break. We taught health/anatomy, agriculture, art/geography, and dance! The children were so excited to have us come teach them and they were so eager to learn. They were all so smart and worked hard. </div>

Theresa and I taught art/geography, where we drew a map of the world. It was so interesting seeing what each grade level knew about the world. We were impressed with their knowledge! I feel like some of them knew more than me! </div>

After a few hours of teaching it was time for fun! Theresa, who is a Zumba teacher in America, taught us different dances from around the world. The kids were so thrilled to learn these dances. I'm pretty sure dancing is any Ugandan's favorite thing to do! Of course, they wanted to teach us their local dances at the end.</div>

I've been in the capital city of Kampala for 24 days now. Kampala has a population of about 1.209 million people. It's the largest city in Uganda. Many people come to the city to work during the week and go back to their village on the weekends. So as you can imagine it's a very busy place and there is rarely a quite moment. At every hour of the day and night there seems to be something going on. From all night prayer meetings/worship services to weddings that last for several days to the sound of constant traffic. No matter where you go you will probably be stuck in a traffic jam for some period of time, so if you need to be somewhere at a curtain time leave early. Although, everything runs on African time anyway, so more than likely you'll still be early. Kampala is an exciting place and there is a lot of variety when it comes to stores and restaurants, which is great when you are spending a lot of time here. Here are some pictures from around Kampala: </div>

This orphanage was started by Pastor John. It's not just an orphanage though, the model he makes is an orphanage attached to a church. This model is exactly how it's supposed to be according to James 1:27. The church would be the people in the village and they would support the orphans in the home and the caregivers for the children would be the widows in the church. Pastor John has built many models like this in so many villages around the Kampala area. I was so impressed with this model. I have not seen many like this before! I am sure God will bless them abundantly because of the way they are doing it.<br />

We came today to set up the bedrooms in the home, so they could take in children in 2 weeks. International Voice of the Orphan supplied 11 bunk beds, bedding, nets, supplies for the kitchen, and chairs for the church. It was such an honor to help set everything up, carry in the beds, make them and pray over the children and staff that will be living here.<br />

There was a small village school right beside the church/orphanage and the children were curious about what we were doing. So we took a break and went over to greet them. The children have not seen many white people so they were really excited. They loved getting their picture taken with us and seeing it on our camera screens. They thought it was the coolest thing ever.<br />

There were a few children who didn't have the money to go to school and had no food for lunch who came up to us while we were eating lunch. We gave them our leftover sandwiches, and they loved them! They may have been a little confused as to what a peanut butter and jelly sandwich was, but they ate them anyway. Who knows when they had eaten last. The big smiles on their faces showed their thankfulness.<br />

Going to a church in the village is always an awesome experience! So much different than any church in America.<br />

I am with a team of 8 (from the US and The Netherlands). Our team leaders Dwight and Emma Saunders started <a href="http://internationalvoiceoftheorphan.com/">International Voice of the Orphan</a> and <a href="http://www.thegemfoundation.com/">The Gem Foundation</a>. Dwight preached an amazing message today for the church and we also did a prayer time afterwords. You could really tell the congregation were getting a lot out of the message and were so hungry for God. We had them come up for prayer at the end if they had any requests. We had so many come up to us and ask for prayer for things like provision for jobs and land, wisdom in school, a way to support their families and for sicknesses. We gladly prayed for each of their needs and asked God to bless them in mighty ways. It's so eye opening to realize how hard their lives must be as we heard some of their stories. They were very encouraged by our prayers and thanked us many times. We heard later that one man actually received Christ during the prayer time! We were all encouraged by that and decided that made the day! It wasn't us that made the impact on them, it was God working through us that changed this man's life forever! All glory goes to Him! We are so thankful to have been a part of that!<br />

Since this congregation had been so generous to our team leader Emma in the past (giving her highly praised gifts, such as a pig) and had welcomed us all so well we wanted to give back to them. So we brought gifts for the pastor and his wife and gifts for all the children. We handed out toothbrushes and lollipops to all the kids at the end. It's the simplest things that they are so thankful for! Their faces were beaming!<br />
<br />
What an amazing day in Uganda!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll be staying for the whole summer serving with 3 different organizations that work with orphans/children-at-risk in the capital city of Kampala. I do still need to rise a good amount of money before I leave. If you would, please prayerfully consider donating, I can guarantee you will not regret it! It will not only be a blessing to the people of Uganda and me, you will also be blessed through it! Your support will play a part in sending me to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the children of Uganda! </span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First off, I want thank you for your continued prayer and encouragement during this season in my life. The past 9 months (since returning home from YWAM) have not been an easy transition, to say the least, but God has taught me so much through it all. Also, He has blessed me more than I could have imagined. It has been refreshing to be home with friends and family once again. I am working as a nanny again, with the family I was with before. They now have 3 adorable little boys, and have opened their home to me. I am incredibly blessed to be a part of their life! Since I get the summers off from nannying, I plan on returning to Uganda! The plans are beginning to come together, and I couldn't be more excited! I also know some people that are interested in joining me! So, at this point I need to decide if I will be leading my own trip, or going with an organization that works in Uganda. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you could, keep me in your prayers as I plan this trip, that the details would begin to come together and all the glory would go to God! Also, I've been experiencing some pain, due to a pinched nerve in my neck, since coming home in March. At this point there hasn't been much improvement, even with regular visits to the Chiropractor. I am really hoping this won't interfere with my plans to return to Uganda, but if I'm still experiencing the same amount of pain it would be very hard to travel. So please be praying that the pain will be gone before the summer. Thank you!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So, I've been home a month now and I've been praying about what God has for me next. It's been a very stressful and challenging time, missing my friends and trying to plan my future. God has been so faithful even though I wasn't willing to truly give everything up and of course it was a struggle to just plan everything on my own and not really involve Him. But, even through all this He has given me the desires of my heart! He is an amazing Heavenly Father, by the way! Tomorrow I go back to work at a daycare that I was working at before I moved to Wisconsin. I will work there until the Fall when I will go back to nannying for the family I was with before (they had another little one, so I will be watching 3 boys now). And I will have even have next summer off, so I'm hoping to do more mission work at that time. I am so excited to be working with these people again! I am thankful I get to continue to build relationships with them and tell them about what God has done in my life in the past 7 months! I am so blessed! Thanks for all your prayers and encouragements throughout this time! </span>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13757656602852760492noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928755647777365583.post-31506085833964339472013-03-21T18:57:00.000-04:002013-03-21T18:57:07.360-04:00What now? <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For the past 6 months I have been training to do mission work with Youth With a Mission in Madison, Wisconsin. <span style="line-height: 14.166666030883789px;">I was also so blessed to be able to go love on children at risk in Uganda for 2 of those months for my outreach! It was such an amazing experience!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am heading home next week to rest, reconnect with family and friends, and pray about what God has next for me. If you can, please keep me in your prayers for that. I have several opportunities that I am considering for the future. I want to serve full-time in missions at some point, but I know I first need to be home for a season. All of the opportunities sound great, and I'd be willing to do any of them, but I want to do what is best and whatever will bring the most glory to my Creator.</span></div>

Then you just go on with your shopping as usual! It's that simple! It's only one extra step to help me out! Plus, it doesn't cost you anything extra! (Don't worry it's not going to tell me show my what you purchased or anything like that). :)</span><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Please share my blog link with your friends and family so they can participate as well!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">The </span><a href="http://sharon-sharonspage.blogspot.com/2012/04/kindle-fire-giveaway.html"><span style="color: red;">Kindle Fire Giveaway</span></a><span style="background-color: white;"> is over! The drawing is done! Altogether there were 24 entries! That's $240, and as you know my goal was $400. So, sadly there can't be a Kindle Fire given (</span><span style="background-color: white;">refer</span><span style="background-color: white;"> to rules in the original post to find out why). </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But what is being given is half of the amount raised! Which is $120! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So without further ado.... </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">here are the pictures and video of the drawing before and after: </span></span></div>
