KATIE IS HOME !!!!!
CLICK HERE ... You have got to go read Katie's first post from Uganda ... My heart just burst w/ love for her, for what she is doing, for her kids, and the way God is using her ... She TRULY GETS IT ... She is doing, acting, and loving on these children who had no hope ... She brought them the hope of Christ and now they in turn are loving others and showing people in Uganda hope and Christ ...I am overwhelmed w/ how truly RICH they are ... I look around at my world at times and the things I stress over, let consume my mind, or even worry about and it makes me ashamed ... I am wanting in 2009 to stay in the moment w/ the Lord and to make a difference in His name ... I want to love deeper, be burdned for those who are hurting, take action on weekly basis to give someone hope, and to help my children see why God has us here !!!!
Katie, you are beyond dear to me ... You are part of my heart ... I am adopting you as my little sister ... I will walk w/ you as long as you journey and then some ... You have changed my life and I "LUFFA" you so so so much !!!!
If anyone has questions on how to help Katie's ministry please feel free to email me s.oatsvall@comcast.net ... As a volunteer, boardmember, and supporter of Amazima I would be honored to help you HELP THE KIDS OF UGANDA ... Ex. would be to sponsor a child for $300.00 a year, buy a chicken for a family so they can have protein in their diet $10.00/$25.00, purchase paper necklace supplies to help a woman support her family by making jewelry $10.00, purchase a pillow for a child in the program and more ... At Christmas this year Amazima gave each child their very own blanket !!!! I wish I could have seen their faces as they received this gift ...
Please everyone who reads my blog pray for Amazima Ministry, Pray for Katie, Pray for her girls, and pray for the 202 children in her care ... PRAYER MAKES A DIFFERNCE ...
Love to you all ...
Side Note: Lola Belle has captured many hearts and it is understandable ... She has a spirit about her that draws you in ... She may get her new home this coming week ... Please pray for all of us involved ...

Gosh Gwen what a blessing this beautiful girl is to this world. Tell her thank you from us for doing what she does. I love to see the work that our Father does in young men and women. It is amazing to me.
Love, Kristy
praying for you, your friend and all involved
What an unbelievable blessing you have been to Katie and this ministry. You and Suzanne get it as well. Way to go for jumping on board as you have and sowing into someone elses needs as you still wait for your precious two from ET. The Lord used you mightily and you will be blessed as well. Her post is amazing.
hey!
i've been following katie's blog for a while, and found your site after reading her last post... i have been praying for these precious children, but i was actually wondering if there was anyway i could get a list of the names of these 202 (yay!!) kiddos (or at least some of them?) so i can be praying for them by name. i TOTALLY understand if that can't be done...if it's not something YOU personally have the ability to do or if it's not a smart idea for safety reasons or whatever. :) but i just thought it was worth asking! thanks!:)

Will be thinking of everyone involved this week with precious Lola...I am so glad that I got to hold her - what an amazing role you play in these little ones lifes!
Love ya bunches! Looking for my endorsement to be signed by the Commanding Officer this week...they are saying I should be home by the end of March!!!!!
I am good at raising supplies, so let me know what I can do if you all decide to do something like that.
What a great post Gwen..I was completely drawn in by your statement ..of wanting to be burdened by those hurting...I feel those words and I'm living them, although, many don't get it for what it truely is...but with continued repetition of that in our lives...people do change :) YOU, are on a roll!!
Just let me know. I'm doing the Starfish supply raiser again in February and would love to do something for your group in early March.
yeah!!! so glad Katie is back home with her children!!! so great!! I'm going to read her blog now!! ARE you bringing LB by in the AM?? hope so, kj
Praying for Katie and her ministry.
