updates

​So many wonderful things have been happening the past couple months. I hope you will read about it and enjoy the photos.
I’m happy to announce we have filed for NGO status in Uganda. We have about ten families God had put in my life this trip and in order to serve them we needed to apply as a Non Governmental Organization.
I have four wonderful Ugandan staff that I’m working with and training to run things when I’m in the US.
We have paid for tuition for two students to go to school and are supplementing other families to make sure their children are in school. Thank you so much to those who contributed to their educations.
We have started a weekly mentoring program where we are teaching skills to improve their income. We’ve been teaching sewing skills. Yesterday we had someone come to teach us how to make liquid soap for the ladies to sell. Each lady contributed money for the supplies and left with six liters of soap to sell this week.
We are listening through the New Testament weekly and teaching them how to hear from God as they hear the Bible in the local language. The discussion is so good as we hear what God is showing individual ladies.
We have started a savings program. This week (the first week) they brought money for saving and for emergencies. They are so dedicated to moving out of poverty.
When I get back to the US with full access to FB I’ll update you all in the amazing transformations happening in their lives here. Even physical appearances are changing; gaining weight, smiles on their faces, their ability to pay school fees, etc. God is so good and wants these families to thrive.
It’s been exciting to see the different skills coming forth from them. They are each uniquely designed by God with different strengths and gifts and watching Him restoring hope and helping them grow is the best thing in life.
Pray that God will continue to open doors for them as we continue to work together to bring sustainability. Pray that God would bless every part of their lives every moment of every day. He loves us so much and wants each one of us to become all he created us to be.
