Hello
All! We have had so much happening in the life of doma-- I wish I had a
minute for a more thorough update! Here are a few highlights of the
last couple months: Thank you for being a part of making this happen! I will be
sending out a detailed update on each of these connections this summer.
So stay tuned! But please contact me any timeif you would like more
information on how to provide for any of these connections. The need is
great! doma's vision- to intervene early, removing obstacles to peace and
joy in the lives of vulnerable children and young families-- is truly
happening because of your provision! doma is sending 3 teams this fall to various locations. Consider joining us on these amazing adventures! Trip #1: AFRICA- October 29th – November 10th WakaWaka, Uganda We will be sending a team to serve an entire village for an extended
time. The village is remote and beautiful—and the people are full of
warmth and hospitality. It’s like walking onto the set of ‘National
Geographic.’ There was an overwhelming response when we visited for one
day in March, so we would like to concentrate our efforts on this one
village for the entire trip. This team will spend time with the
orphaned children and families in the village. This would be a great
trip for medical professionals AND non-medical professionals. The
medical team will be providing direct care, as well as health education
for those who visit the clinic. There will be plenty to do for people
of any age and profession! We also hope to lay the foundation in this
village for our first prenatal care center. We will also visit an
existing clinic that is for sale and that has asked for help– to see if
this is a location that doma would like to invest in. email: amber@domaconnection.org for more information about this trip. Trip #2: UKRAINE- October 1-11 Kiev and Donetsk doma will send a team to babyhouses and orphanages in Ukraine to
determine long term partnerships. This trip is where you will be
‘forging the way’ for our doma Ukraine connection points. Dan and I
will BOTH be going on this one!!! We will have the responsibility of
distributing over 1,000 baby bouncer seats and even more clothes and
supplies to babyhouses and hospitals. Along with this aid, we will
bring the message of doma — that is, that early intervention in the
lives of orphaned and vulnerable children will lead to the prevention
of future emotional, spiritual, and physical crises in their lives.
This trip will be busy with infants, young children, and will be
focused on establishing relationships with orphanage directors and
caretakers. (I’ll even have my infant with me on this one!) email Julie@domaconnection.org for more information about this trip. Trip #3: AFRICA- end of September, flexible dates Uganda This trip is for the adventurous spirit! Led by a fun young
missionary who spends 3 months out of each year in Uganda. you will
surely have a great time while extending the love of Christ to others
in need. A local orphanage and school will host the team for several
days—and you will help with projects around the school, which may
include lifting, pouring, building, painting…and of course, getting to
know the children and youth at the school. This would also be a great
trip for young adults who are considering full time ministry to Africa.
You can even extend your trip to spend more time with a few local
missionaries in orphanages, elementary schools, or infant houses. email Julie@domaconnection.org for more information about this trip.
