God blesses construction of the Children's Village with a rainbow!
Walls going up!
A Venture Team from Real Life Church (RLC) in Valencia, California departed last week for Uganda. Among their many planned activities, the team of eight, led by Brandon Beard, Life Groups Pastor at RLC, will be participating in the construction of our Uganda Children's Village.
"Bringing people together in their neighborhood to build community, reach out to others, and serve together is the best part of my role at RLC," shared Brandon. What an exciting thing that he is taking that same passion for serving, reaching out, and building communities...all the way to Uganda!
"Venture Teams have always been a huge blessing to COTN in-country missions and activities," said Edward Olara, COTN-UG Venture Coordinator. "The excitement and joy to receive Mr. Beard's team is inexpressible here, especially among the children and staff."
Brandon's team will be the first US Venture Team to assist with with construction of the new village. "This particular first team is going to be a big blessing to the ongoing construction work of the new village," says Mr. Olara. "Their participation will be hands-on: block laying, ferrying materials, clearing of the site, etc. We are ever grateful to God for Real Life Church for standing behind this project."
