Joy of a Wedding! Thrilled to be Teaching!!

2011-02-11T08:22:00.000-08:00

We had the privilege of attending the wedding of a young couple in the preaching point of Lukaya. What a joy to see them giving their future lives to the Lord and each other. Despite the normal delays everything ran rather smoothly. The couple was of Rwandan descent thus the culture dictated different policies for the bride and groom. I went to pick the bride and her entourage from her family home. Upon arriving and waiting there began a heated conversation between some of the bride's family. Unknown to Mr. Sebyoto ,the leader of the Lukaya ministry, Rwandan culture dictates that the bride must see the groom before leaving the house. I was thinking, "What a way to start a marriage with the bride refusing to leave her home." Everything ended with smiles when the groom arrived to see his bride.

My heart warms to hear our 40 students at Grace Christian School in Masaka quoting their Bible verses memorized for Bible class. I get the honor of teaching Bible class for the entire student body every morning Monday through Friday. They all are learning so quickly. Luke Hermann, a young man from the Kansas City area, has been visiting and helping in our ministry. The children enjoyed hearing his testimony and lesson in Bible class Friday.

Getting Back into the Swing of Things

We had a good first service at Masaka Independent Baptist Church. Ellora and Elysse were sick with the flu so Kristy had to stay home with them, which brought severe dis-appointment from the church members. A few days later the orphan girls were able to hold Ellora for the first time. To see the smiles on their faces was priceless. Praise the Lord all but 3 of the orphans have made it back from the Holiday break. They are excited about starting school again on January 31st. We are excited too, but there is a lot of work to be done by teachers and administration before school begins in both Masaka and Kyotera.

Closing Ceremony for Grace Christian School

Praise the Lord that the 3rd year of our orphan-school has successfully come to a close. The guardians who came to watch their children perform exuded thanks to the teachers and staff for how much development was exhibited. The orphans with mixed emotions will now take a short Christmas holiday with their guardians and return to Grace Christian School the beginning of 2011. Please pray for all the orphans as temptation will be great upon arriving home for this short break.

We are revamping the blog site to keep our supporters and newcomers updated on the current events in our GRACE project. God is opening the door for an exciting future as we go back to Uganda to begin our next term in January of 2011.

This week the Christian School in Kyotera has broken ground on its new school building. Praise the Lord this will facilitate the education for 84 orphans and 166 village children.

God has given my wife and me such a great vision for the people of Masaka and Rakai Districts in Uganda, East Africa. Over the last 5 years God has opened doors in the area of school and orphan work that we never dreamed possible. These open doors are now and will be a tremendous catalyst to boost the starting of Bible-based churches across Uganda and around the world. In this section of our website I will be keeping you posted on needed funding for projects and also how God answers the needs for the projects. May the Lord bless you.

1. Well for the property in Mbira - $5000 - Answered on 2/18/2010
-This well will provide a much-needed resource for the functioning of an Orphan village and church plant in Mbira. The closest water is a kilometer away from the property.

2. Tires for Current Transport Vehicle - $500

3. Computers for Grace Christian School - $5000

4. Truck for Transporting - $7000 (Praise the Lord $4000 has been given)
- God has provided us with large amounts of farm land to grow food for our orphan villages. The cost of transporting needing supplies and the harvested food is very high. A truck with hydrolic bed would be a very beneficial asset to these ministries.
