We are pretty excited around here as we will have a special visitor at the end of this month! Since Olive will be speaking at a nearby church in the morning, Compassion thought it would be great if she could visit our church also. We will be putting together a special Sunday evening service so Olive can share with us what it was like growing up as a Compassion sponsored child in Uganda.
Yesterday, I ran by the library to pick up a book that was on hold and thought I should pick up a book on Uganda also.
I had forgotten that Katie Davis (author of the book, Kisses from Katie) was currently living in Uganda ministering to young orphaned girls. I am looking forward to learning more about Uganda over the next few weeks and learning more about this young lady who has left her comfortable life to follow what she believes is God's plan for her.
I just worked with Olive! I volunteered at a Compassion event at a woman's conference. She spoke and then sat at the table with me to help find children sponsors. She was a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteWe are really looking forward to Olive's visit. What fun that she worked at the table with you!
