He's Gone Back

Andrew is back in Uganda!  For those of you who don't know, he has taken a job with Earth Wise Ferries Ltd. as the Managing Director for their East African operations. He was home for Dad's funeral and a whirlwind visit.  Now he has gone back.  He really has a heart for Africa and this project specifically. We learned a lot talking with him about it during this visit. 

Earth Wise has launched their first ferry on Lake Victoria.  Here is a picture of the ferry when the first lady visited.  Can you see Andrew?

The first lady of Uganda, Janet Kataaha Museveni visited Earth Wise's first ferry the Amani.  Amani has different meanings depending on what language you use, but the source of inspiration for this name comes from two langauges.  In Swahili, Amani means “peace”, and in Hebrew Amani means “my faith”; either way, she is well named for her purpose on Lake Victoria.

Congratulations to the team!

  Do you see a man who excels in his work?
      He will stand before kings;
      He will not stand before unknown men.

Proverbs 22:29

What a wonderful person Andrew is! Even as a child he seemed to see beyond, at what could be. Those few years of sailing have led to a really big boat and even bigger project! Love that guy! Enjoyed hearing about the candy and seeing him at age 6 sitting in that big chair! How proud of the man he has become! xo S

What a wonderful picture and interesting position. May the Lord bless Andrew with wisdom in all his dealings.

Jaimie thought it was really fun to see the "little boy" photo. :)

Jane shared with me the link to your blog. How fun to read the updates on your family, especially Andrew. He sure is far from home! I bet you miss him an awful lot! And what darling grandchildren!
