WOW!  So much is happening, and God is so good.  We have found a new home and base for our offices, ministry activities and the bridal shop!  
The facility we had been renting from YWAM was due to be unavailable in September. Thankfully we were able to get the rental agreement extended until December, but the search began for a new facility to house our growing ministry and activities. We found a beautiful facility, truly perfect for our needs, but the price was out of reach. After much prayer and a few conversations with the owner to express the amazing things we are doing in the community, he agreed to bless us with a price reduction, bringing the rent to a level we can manage. This property will not only provide housing for me and Alyssa, but office and meeting space, a space for the bridal shop, fruit trees from which to harvest and places to plant more food. The house has basic furnishings, but we are in need of mosquito netting, pots and pans, and a tent for gathering outdoors in the courtyard. Would you consider coming alongside our ministry as part of Giving Tuesday? Thank you for all your support!

My friend Jennifer has been my donations supplier for about three years. She is on her way over today with that table full of items for our Uganda Christmas. We will let our mothers come and fill backpacks with necessities as well as some fun things for each of their children for Christmas!
Here’s where I need help. Will you be willing to donate for extra baggage fees. It’s $200 for each checked bag over our allowed bags. We will definitely have more than it limit.  
Thank you.

​This question was asked in an African country of some locals. When they described poverty, it did not reveal material lack at all. Instead the answers given indicated shame, fear, hopelessness and other human conditions, but not lack of material possessions.
Often we think it is the lack of material things. In reality, we are spiritual beings as much as we are physical beings. So poverty alleviation is about helping people to be "fully human. To live in right relationship with God, Self, Others and Creation." (CAFO)
This is our mission in Uganda. It is to restore not only my brokennesss but also help others restore their relationships, to God and others, through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is no other way.
We are doing this by teaching the Word of God and helping each person know what it means to know God and be known by him. When we realize our God-given identity, it changes us. It gives us hope and a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
I was so excited to get these videos today from Uganda. This is today, Monday, which is coming to a close in Uganda. They came and volunteered. Wow, am I blessed.
May God bring spiritual, emotional and physical healing to each one our ladies and their families, as well as our staff. God, we all need you. May you come and fill each one of up, here and in Uganda, so we can be a light to others.
