First Post

Welcome to the Phillips family blog…we are glad you stopped by to read about our family’s journey to Uganda. (In case you did not know, we are permanently moving to Uganda by mid November. Yikes!) Of course there is a back-story as how this all came to fruition. We hope to write snippets in the weeks to come to fill you in on all the details. For now, know this…the six of us are knee deep in transitioning out of our life here in beautiful Austin, Texas and readying ourselves for the life God now has for us in blessed Africa. As you can imagine, this is one God AWEsome, yet nail biting time. I am just saying….and so if you could be praying for three things we would greatly appreciate it:

The first is sell our home anyone want a great, spacious East Austin home for only 170,000?

To help find the next pastor of The Well- God has been supplying some great candidates.

Building our fund raising team- to move and live in Africa is costly and we need a group of people around us who want to invest in what God is doing in Uganda. (If you are interested in us sharing our story or simply want to donate a one-time gift or give monthly to help sustain us, please contact us. Or simply go to the front of this blog and click donate.

In closing this first entry, one thing to know up front is this, what you will find here will be raw, real, hopefully informative, full of dot dot dots, incomplete thoughts and a wide range of musings from everyone in our family. We desire this blog to be a place where we will be free to share what God is doing in our lives, both the good and the hard. Already we are able to attest our journey has been full of both.  Yet praising God for who He is in the midst of it all.
