Documenting our journey...

The StanClan and Kim have been planning our 2 month stay in Uganda for almost a year now. For a while now, we've known that while we're there we want to be able to share thoughts and events with all of our family and friends back home in the U.S. We also want to be able to share prayer requests with our partners. So, in an effort to make this more efficient for everyone, we created this blog.

Throughout our trip, we will post whatever comes to mind. We will do our best to identify who is typing any particular posts, so as to avoid confusion. (As I mention that, let me share that Tamra is typing this message.) :) You can follow all of us on this great adventure. Perhaps from time to time, even the kids will share some thoughts.

As God continues to guide our steps over the years to come, we'll continue to use this blog as long as it seems appropriate. While the Stanleys and Kim may not always be on mission in the same physical location, we'll always be on the same team; so it seems fitting that we can share our adventures no matter where they may lead. Also, it will be fun to forge some sort of relationships with people whom we might not otherwise meet: Kim connecting with people that we lead to this blog and us connecting with people that Kim leads here.

We leave for Uganda on June 10th, so I have no idea what you'll see on here before then. Perhaps we'll have plenty to say, or maybe it will be sparse. Either way, we'd love to have you with us on this journey, especially once we board the plane. We need plenty of prayers for support and preparation in the 59 days remaining until departure AND we'll need plenty of prayers when our feet are on the ground.
