Strengthen her with hope, envigorate her with revelation of Your love. Protect her household from the evil one and use each individual to speak life and truth and grace to one another, bringing honor to You. Provide for each of their needs and bring healing. I pray today for lifted burdens in Jesus' name. Bring helpers to strengthen Katie in her ministry to You. And I pray in agreement with Katie, that You would raise up workers for the harvest. In Jesus' name I pray with faith and expectation, according to Your Word.Lolly Caruanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544925837445850268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-70240777964760712152010-04-18T09:46:27.712-07:002010-04-18T09:46:27.712-07:00praying for youpraying for youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-38622619996512351142010-04-18T08:59:27.406-07:002010-04-18T08:59:27.406-07:00i have just found your blog today & have spent...i have just found your blog today & have spent an hour ( while i'm at work...smile) reading about jsajsa grace & hope ...i am blown away.<br />i'm certain you don't want any praise for yourself but i am so amazed to see the hand of god on your life & therefore on all these girls...wow....<br />i just wanted you to know that my family of 6 ( i have four daughters ) will be praying for you & yours here in atlanta<br />xopaigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470201808290045840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-90962287716160672652010-04-17T19:53:27.777-07:002010-04-17T19:53:27.777-07:00Katie...thank you for blogging your Journey!!! Th...Katie...thank you for blogging your Journey!!! Thank you for being real and honest and open in your blogs...thank you for sharing your heart! Through you a seed has been planted on my heart...in my SOUL...I am forever changed for having read through your journey. I pray for you and your family...and ALL of Uganda..and for Amazima. I would like to come with my husband next year for two weeks...it would be an amazing blessing for God to orchestrate us into the Journey that is Katie Davis. I have been up very late every night...talking to God..asking WHAT can I do. Katie what you are doing is what God placed on my heart years ago. And now I have a 3yr old, 5 yr old, 7 yr old and 3 step sons (7, 13 and 16)...I CRIED and lay in bed restless..feeling like I MISSED my call. I resented my every day ordinary American life (since starting to read your blog)...got frustrated when my daughter threw a fit over the color of her shirt, or my son over the length of his pants, or my youngest throwing his nightly fit over what I made for dinner. Inside my heart is screaming...we HAVE clothes..we HAVE food...alot of food..and yet we are unhappy and cranky. After several days of reading your blog..I decided to have my 7 year old daughter read it...you have placed a seed in her too. She is changing...she is looking at money differently. We now have a "Lunchbox" on the counter that says "God's Lunchbox" and anyone can choose to put their change there..or their dollars..and when it is full we are sending it to Amazima. Out of the blue my daughter Hailey asked me .."Mommy..can I write a letter to Helen?"..and I said..Sweety who's Helen...and she gave me a silly look and said..It's KATIE'S DAUGHTER..and I think she's about my age.." Then we went to your blog and pulled up the pics..and sure enough there is precious little Helen :) Is there a way that Hailey could write to your girls? I will help her...so that ALL of the girls get a letter :) Hailey's favorite Blog is the "soup one"..."because Katie made her soup and let her sleep in her bed all night" It's amazing to me that everything that was in the Soup blog...how you talked about the dentist leaving..and letting u use his toold..and then you had to try to steralize them and pull that little girls tooth out...and give her medicine...THE BIGGEST thing that stands out to Hailey is how you LOVED on her..and made her soup..and let her sleep with you all night long :) Gosh I feel as if my thoughts are bouncing around..and I've pretty much written a blog..on your blog :) So for tonight I will wrap it up! We are praying..and we love you all!! If there's a way to write to all the girls that would be awesome!<br />Could you guys pray for our family, that we would recognize our UNnecessary things...dowsize our spending and bills to what we NEED..and not what we want. And what things we can sell to help your hands and feet to reach even more!

A friend passed your blog along to me, and I'm not even sure how he came across it! <br /><br />I just returned from a two-week trip to Costa Rica and will be moving there in a couple of months to work with Young Life, a Christian youth outreach organization. I won't be working with the poor, but rather bringing the truth of Christ to the (often very wealthy) international community. It's not what I ever imagined doing, I wanted to be doing something more like what God has led you to do in Africa, but God has led me to this ministry, in this place, and it's still incredibly daunting!<br /><br />I've been trying to process this recent trip and my impending move and I've felt a little lonely and underprepared for this work God is calling me to. But reading you blog has been so encouraging to me! God used your words to remind me that HE himself will be my comforter, my joy. Thanks for helping me be courageous...for reminding me that God has called us to be AVAILABLE, whether we feel equipped or not and that He will do the equipping. Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable. Your blog has blessed me more than you can imagine!Ali Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925548585141226159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-15688341050474519592010-04-09T11:58:37.531-07:002010-04-09T11:58:37.531-07:00katie. a friend led me to your blog and i wanted ...katie. a friend led me to your blog and i wanted to let you know that i have been challenged by your faithfulness to your calling.

I'm not sure if you will see this comment or not, but I wanted to see if you have heard of this moringa tree? It is supposed to be a powerful healing plant and I thought of you. It might be useful over there instead of prescriptions, if it will work. <br />Be encouraged about finding a spouse because there are guys out there that would like to find a women like you, myself included.<br />Also thanks for sharing the Radical series from Brook Hills, it has encouraged me to do some things.

I cannot even begin to IMAGINE what it would be like to be in such a situation. losing your family, having a BABY, and having to run away. I can't even begin to tell you how much I hurt for Hope.<br />Please, if you ever read this comment and get the chance, tell her that I'm praying for her.

I have spent the last five hours reading every post, engrossed in every detail of your story. With a broken heart and an uplifted spirit, I sit, with my head spinning. I'm in awe that you, the same age as I, have such an awesome testimony. I will be praying for you as your journey enfolds, and as God uses each new person who enters your life to show you something new. He is ever faithful, which, I have read, is plainly evident in your life.<br /><br />Love, Blessings, Prayers and Grace to you Katie, a servant of the King.<br /><br />DaveanaDaveanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101330975829168592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-38545603282313158422010-03-30T14:44:40.014-07:002010-03-30T14:44:40.014-07:00Thank youThank youMr Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898216116010442643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-17235877442742892192010-03-30T10:45:01.867-07:002010-03-30T10:45:01.867-07:00What a hearbreaking story.

I don't want to share anything personal online, but I will tell you that I'm in middle school. <br />I just wanted to let you know that it has truly been a blessing to be able to read your blog. Every time I read it my heart is filled with love and compassion for these Ugandans you write about. I have been to Swaziland myself, and while reading all of your stories, I want to visit Africa again so badly! Oh, and I also go to David Platt's church, which you have mentioned in an earlier post; I LOVE my church(:<br />Anyway, thank you for taking the time to keep others posted. I pray for your wisdom, your family, and the people God chooses to cross your path daily. <br />God bless!<br />Psalm 63:1-8<br />1 John 2:15-17Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-30479429778506020972010-03-28T03:52:47.251-07:002010-03-28T03:52:47.251-07:00I will be praying for Hope and her son and lots of...I will be praying for Hope and her son and lots of nights I stop at my little prayer kneeler (foraged from my mom's basement) and pray for safety over your home...both spiritual and physical safety for you and your girls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
