Bombings in Uganda

As some of you may have heard in the news, there have been reports of bombings in Kampala, Uganda.  All of the Love for the Sake of Love team members are safe.  Andrew, Ben, and Erin are many miles away on the coast of Kenya.  Our fourth team member in Africa, Katrina Harris, who is working with the Watoto Baby Home is living in Kampala right now and was very close to the bombings.  Six of Katrina's friends from Alabama were at one of the places where the bombings occurred.  Although everyone around them was seriously injured or dead, they all walked away untouched.  Praise God!  They are still coping with a lot of the horrible stuff they saw.  Please pray for these six missionaries as well as the rest of Katrina's team in Kampala.  I just got an e-mail from Katrina saying that there are rumors going around that there was another blast about an hour ago.  Most of the Watoto's volunteers are safe back in the apartments or are on their way back now.
