Members of the team launched an awareness and fundraising campaign called "Gifts for Gulu." That campaign raised over $200,000 in financial support to build a community shelter for the children who were victims of the civil war in northern Uganda.  The team is returning to Gulu for a ground breaking ceremony to dedicate the land for the center and to minister to the children in that community.

Eagles team member Sam Casey has requested that people support the team in prayer at 9 PM each night. The group will be in Africa for approximately 10 days and will return February 3rd.
