..Designing a World of Hope

As I'm leaving to Uganda tomorrow, I figured I'd fill y'all in with a little bit about eMi:

Engineering Ministries International (eMi) is a
non-profit Christian development organization made up of architects, engineers and design professionals who donate their skills to help children and families around the world step out of poverty and into a world of hope
.

Each year, more than 2.2 million people in developing countries die from diseases associated with lack of access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene (UN Water Policy Brief, 2005).

That is where eMi comes in. We are a Christian ministry that designs facilities that serve the poorest of the poor in developing countries. These facilities (including hospitals, orphanages, schools, clean water projects and more) directly impact communities by meeting their physical needs and communicating God's love in a very practical way.

I could continue on explaining all that they do and how they do it, but that could quite possibly become very boring. Instead, I've decided to share with you this short video that I just discovered that the eMi East Africa office has recently made about the work that they do. It is not only about the East Africa office, but about every eMi office. It's so great. Check it:

The other cool thing about that video is that we (eMi UK) will be joining up with the eMi EA team on this project trip. There will be about 4 of us from the UK office joining something like 6-8 others from the EA office (there will also be a Canadian helping from his home in Canada). I'm really looking forward to meeting all of the team in 2 days! Can't wait.

Thanks for reading. Please continue to pray for me for God's direction on my life and for the project trip coming up. Thank you!

Cheers.
