"...then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord . When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial forever." Joshua 4:7 It would not be right for me to leave for Uganda without thanking everyone at Three Angels for the life-change that my experience with them has wrought in me. I could not have planned this past year in my own heart, nor could I have picked more loving, passionate and devoted people to live pieces of it with. When I say that my involvement with angel house has changed my life, what I really mean is that it has changed my heart, because I have a love for the orphaned and oppressed that I never had before. What I mean is that it has changed my mind, I think about those suffering in other places, and I pray for them. My eyes are opened to their suffering. What I mean is that it has changed my direction. I have changed my major, transferred colleges, and set my face toward different life goals than I had before. I want to be involved in these kinds of ministries. I mean that it has changed my soul - my hunger for Christ, for an understanding of His love and sovereignty and His dealings with me has grown. My understanding of who He is and how He directs my life in tangeable ways has become different. My prayers to Him, and my praise of Him has changed. My time with you is a memorial forever for the things He has done, and will do, in my life. Thank you.
