Upcoming Trip to Gulu

Please be in prayer for us (John and Erica Rinehimer, our New Zealand friend Becky, and myself) as we travel to Gulu tomorrow morning. This will be a survey trip for us - meeting with various NGO's and assessing the needs in Gulu and what other organizations there are doing. We will meet with the Country Director of Invisible Children as well as do some play therapy with some of the children. We are super excited about this opportunity, as Gulu has been on our hearts from some time! We know that it will be a hard couple of days and I am not sure our eyes and hearts are prepared to see the effects of war and hear more in depth some of these children's stories! Please join us in praying for these days in Gulu that God would order our steps and our conversations! Also that He would move in our hearts and that we truly would never be the same from what He wants to teach us from this time in Gulu. Thank you so much for your prayers and be sure to check on Friday for an update and pictures!

P.S. Gulu is a safe place now, but we would greatly appreciate your prayers for safety and protection too!
