The last two days have been rough.
Yesterday I had to make a tough call and cut our Uganda team in half for the upcoming trip in February.
I’m not too big on backtracking or giving bad news to some great people.
In the end, however, we are committed to being responsible and strategic in our involvement in Uganda. The team needed to be trimmed down so that the trip can be more focused and because of some safety and logistical concerns.
I learned a bunch of things in the process… one of which is the caliber of people who where scheduled to go on this trip. Every single one was mature and gracious.
Hopefully in the future we won’t have to backtrack and change plans on people… I don’t like how it feels.
when will you announce whos going?
Ken–as much as I would love to go, it is awesome to know that you are listening to the Lord and recomendations on what to do in Uganda. I would much rather wait for another trip then go on one that maybe isn’t the best timing for me, our Church and most importantly, Uganda. God is in control and it wouldn’t be ok for us to be upset about not going. It just isn’t about us.
There is a lot going on in the world and we just have to pray. So to wrap up my thoughts, as an original team member, my new ‘job’ is to be a prayer warrior for the folks that will be going, the village of Bukwa and the project surrounding FGM….
It’s all good.
