Hello to Family and Friends,
I am sorry to say that my internship has been postponed. However, I hope to complete my internship next Spring. Thank you for those that have already supported me financially. I truly appreciate that. More importantly, thank you all of your prayers. They are still much needed. I will continue to update on what God is doing in my life during the summer. I also to continue to walk the journey with the relationships that I have already made. And I am looking forward to building new relationships and walking this journey together also. Take care and thank you for all of you support.
-In Christ Alone,
Chandler Sharpe

Attention to All!
Dear Family and Friends,
I hope this letter finds you and your family doing well. I am also doing well. I am in my senior year at Liberty University and will be graduating this December. One of the requirements before I graduate is to complete an eight week long internship. As many of you know God has given me a passion for the people of Africa. He has graciously given me the opportunity to return to Uganda this summer to fulfill my internship requirement. I will be departing on June 15 and will be returning August 12.
I will be living and working in a town called Arua which is located in Northern Uganda. Arua is home to the Lugbara people, who are an unreached people group. While there, I will be working alongside career missionaries helping with True Love Waits and English story groups with the secondary students, as Lugbara story groups within the community. The goal of each ministry is to build relationships with the people in order to share the message of hope and salvation.
I am writing to invite you to be part of the ministry that God is doing in Arua and the ministry that I will be part of. One way that you can actively take part in these ministries is through prayer. Please pray that God will prepare me physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally for the journey ahead. Also be praying for the missionaries who are already in Arua. Pray that the eyes of the Lugbara people would be opened and their hearts softened for the gospel. Another way that you can be involved in what God is doing, is through supporting me financially. I am in the need of $4,000. This money will be used for travel expenses, food, housing, immunizations, and visa fees. I know this might seem like a huge amount, but God is teaching me that He is big enough to provide for the needs of His children.
Thank you for your prayers and support. I look forward to updating you and keeping you informed about my life and ministry through my blog. Please let me know what you are doing and how I can be praying for you as we travel this road together.
In Christ Alone,
Chandler Sharpe
