fed five thousand.


God gave me a heart for victory primary school. week after week, i noticed the kids always wearing the same outfits. dirty, and destroyed.  I inquired and soon found out their entire wardrobe, was what they were wearing. 
i undoubtably decided i was going to give most of my clothes away to some of the children, then God spoke.  i was consumed with the thought of an idea of reaching back home to hold a small QUICK clothing drive to provide some of the kids with more clothes. 
i reached out and action took place faster than anticipated.  people overwhelmingly provided t-shirts and underwear for these children (most don't have any underwear). 
when the box arrived to fedex kampala, i was awestruck. 
lots of clothes. lots of clothes. thank you all so much for your generosity.  i am truly grateful.
we took a count of all of the pieces of clothing and underwear.  honestly i was a little worried that we would come short for the last class.
we prayed over the clothes that there would be enough, that God would provide and distribute accordingly if we did not have enough clothes. our trust was completely in Him. 
although, a little of me knew He would provide for every child.
and i remember looking at the last three little piles we had for 2 classrooms. i remember praying, five loaves for five-thousand, this is nothing for you, please provide. 
we ended up having extra.  john 6:12-13

praise You Jesus, im literally smiling right now because I am still in awe of His glory.
i swear on the whole world, when we would step into each classroom (keep in mind they had no idea what was coming) you would had thought it was christmas morning, their smiling faces... and at that moment, i know this sounds corny, but i know God was smiling too. 

 sorting the clothes.
 distributing to the first class.
 they kept saying, 'teacher, teacher look what i got!'
