apwoyo

apwoyo (pronounced aph-o-yo) means thank you in the traditional language of the Acholi people in Gulu. and it's all that feels appropriate tonight. i just returned from our "send off", and my heart is full of gratitude for the friends and family that filled up that room. there's no way we could have gotten to today without you all, and there's no way we will continue on without you.

so thank you.

thank you for giving.

thank you for praying.

thank you for journeying with us.

i'm so humbled and honored to be a part of this team and this community.

apwoyo, marisa
