I got your book from a friend with whom I work. She knows I minister in Uganda for the month of January every year. I will be in Uganda and traveling to Kapchorwa from Kampala and I always have lunch in Jinja on my way. I would love to take you to lunch when I am there and hear all about your story! I am working with the Sabiny people in Eastern Uganda to help them find a way of life without Female Genital Mutilation (God is doing amazing things with these dear folks!) I will be traveling through Jinja on January 6th. Is there any way we could get together?<br />I love your story!<br /><br />my Skype name is pattiricotta<br />email address is <br />pattiricotta@gmail.com<br />I hope to hear from you!<br />God bless the work of your...heart!<br /><br />Patti Ricotta Patti Ricottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14658224375245408510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-35195072515311163172012-11-09T19:18:08.835-08:002012-11-09T19:18:08.835-08:00I have been gone for a while and haven't got t...I have been gone for a while and haven't got to read much lately.

Some of the people dearest to me span oceans and languages, but we have Him in common...and that's enough. <br /><br />I remember a very similar story to what you shared when my pembantu (house helper, but more importantly, friend) in Indonesia and I just couldn't communicate what we wanted, and not even the Indonesian/English dictionary was helping! We finally just laughed and laughed...and laughed some more. And then we hugged...it was the first time she hugged me. Oh, how He can build a friendship despite obstacles! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your heart and for what you allow Him to do through you. Be blessed today!Melhttp://barefootmel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-2088470556784827332012-10-16T00:13:03.417-07:002012-10-16T00:13:03.417-07:00You are so amazing Katie!

What a mighty God we serve that He would use us to minister to those He loves so very much!<br /><br />Your phrase, "Love has won" has played over and over in my head for the last month as it is used in a song by Natalie Grant called "Alive." Her song states "Look what Mercy's overcome. Death has lost and Love has won." Those words have carried me as we are mouring the loss of a precious 14 year old boy in our youth group. My husband and I were his small group leaders.<br /><br />We are currently feeling the Lord's call to GO, and are praying earnestly that He would show us where He would have us serve Him. Your book has given me so much courage, and I hope to one day experience the faith that you demonstrate every day. In my flesh, I struggle with the idea of moving us and our 1 year old daughter to an unknown place, and possibly a dangerous place at that, but I read of God's provision in your life and know that He has carried us this far and will not let us fall from His hand.<br /><br />Thank you for being bold enough to allow us into your life and into your heart. You are such an encouragement and inspiration to many. I pray that you feel the arms of Jesus embrace you today, and that He empowers you to teach without fear and to love this people passionately with complete abandon.<br /><br />Love from Louisiana!<br />Your sister in Christ,<br />MandyThe Guntershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10195745793596139849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695840511970883220.post-18784663931270020342012-10-15T12:58:57.451-07:002012-10-15T12:58:57.451-07:00Katie,

It has truly inspired me, pushed me, and challenged me, and cheered me on in my relationship with God. As a teenager living in America, it is so incredibly easy to fall prey to unthankfullness, and conformity...but even now, I know that God has a higher call on my life, and I am learning more of who He is through the people in my life, and the situations he has been putting me in....I am keeping my eyes open. Thank you, again. I feel like, through your book, you are speaking to me :) God has changed my life and perspective...I will not forget you, your girls, and the beautiful people of this world!Katenoreply@blogger.com
