The Come Let's Dance Leadership Team for fall 09!

A week of prayer, meetings, and play along the Nile was exactly what this core team needed to be refreshed and gain renewed vision for projects as well as their individual and collective roles within Come, Let’s Dance. Hours were spent unpacking the last four months of volunteers and growing projects; evaluating successes and failures; envisioning the future.

I continue to be amazed at the maturity and perseverance among this young group of leaders. Plus the vision forward for Come, Let's Dance which focuses on our goal of empowering young Ugandan leaders and loving deeply those in our community, is ever-resonating with my passions and hopes. During this week I was able to hear more specifically where each project is at currently: The Farm, Micro-loans to small businesses in Katanga slum, the Kids House & furthering education options for the children, Family Empowerment program, and Thread of Life sewing shop. Lots of good stuff ahead, so thankful to be here & involved with it all!
