Arise Africa Weekend

This past weekend at Journey was Arise Africa weekend.  We were honored to have Godfrey and Joy Wanamitsa were to make it from Uganda.  Godfrey is the director of Arise Africa International and we will be working with him and his team in July. Godfrey is a humble,God loving man and it was a joy to listen to him talk about all that they are doing in Uganda.  This weekend we were trying to raise $50,000 for the second phase of the orphanage at Bukaleba that will house 240 orphans.  I am anxious to see how much we were able to raise for Godfrey. The total will be announced at the Easter service.  Can't wait to see what God will provide for his ministry.


We learned a Ugandan Worship song.  It was amazing to see our worship band along with Godfrey and Joy. Here is a video of Smooth and Rick Via singing it with the kids at the orphanage. The words are:

Yesu Ni Wangu Wauzima Wamilele
Wauzima Wamilele

Jesus is mine forever
