January is the month I regroup and cram in family time. We’ve been to warm climates, we’ve been to snow, we’ve gotten wild hair cuts, we’ve lost some teeth, we’ve played dress up and rocked some funny wigs, we’ve painted, done science experiments, gone swimming, and made tons of cookies. And now I’m adding a long hoped for trip to Uganda on Tuesday. 2024 has been pretty great so far. #photodump Uganda, here I come ❤️❤️ @project_orphans
Day 1 of Uganda and my life is already changed forever. A photo could never capture the incredible heart, work, and integrity that is @project_orphans. Today, I saw their new school which is almost completed, was part of a medical camp, prayed for so many people, and I got to meet John, our King of Hearts (more on that later, but if you supported that first single, you know) ❤️. I am so incredibly grateful I get to do life with @brittanyraestokes @christinayarid and @ashleymcky. pS Britt I just realized you’re giving me a mustache in the first photo 😆🤷🏼♀️

This was hands down, my favorite service project EVER!!!! We got to replace a leaking thatch roof, make the house taller, and install a metal roof. I don’t have a final photo, but this day was simply incredible. It meant so much to the family. They cried. I cried. And then my inner child, who played in the dirt way too much, got to come out and make mud pies and learn how to make a real mud hut. I finally have a skill for the apocalypse that’s more useful than encouraging others 😆🙌❤️. I hope I get to do this again. Best day ever. Thank you @project_orphans for everything you do every single day! You love SO well!!
PS @brittanyraestokes standing behind me like “this girl🤦🏼♀️” 😆😆❤️

I haven’t been posting because I’m simply overwhelmed with emotion and thoughts. I think Uganda is going to take me a long time to process. There’s just no words yet. So this won’t be eloquent, but I want to share some of these moments in hopes it touches your hearts.
This family was all sleeping on the floor (see the before photo). They were so precious. And so kind. Our group was so blessed to be able to be part of delivering and assembling beds for them. They asked for prayer and someone said, go get Jen. Apparently I’m the prayer girl here, and I’m totally loving that reputation. I love these people so much. We also got to have a big birthday celebration for the kids and after that, we got to take the young ladies at @project_orphans shopping, followed by an intimate dinner where I got to speak to several in depth and pour into them. Truly, I think they poured more into me. I’m just undone. So many more posts to come. Y’all seriously, check out @project_orphans. They’re amazing.

It takes a village to make a difference!
Having different teams come and serve alongside Project Orphans in Uganda allows us to cast a wider net and make a difference alongside the PO Ugandan staff.
Then when we leave, the Ugandan team is able to continue to provide services and programs that deepens the impact. This team is super special! It is filled with PO board members, advocates, child sponsors, donors, and staff from our partner organization @tulsagirlshomeok
We come from all different backgrounds and parts of the country — but unite with a deep passion to serve and be a voice for the orphan!
