Good morning friends and family, April 2010
As I am sitting down to write the last prayer letter for our three month missions trip, I am flooded with emotions. There is still so much work that could be done and will be done before we depart from the ranch, but we want to get home to our families and friends and church.
We are sitting down with the heads of each ministry here on the ranch these next few weeks to see what their needs are that we might be able to fill if God has calls us back full time. There are many different ministries which include a primary school, a secondary school, a leadership academy, a community development, a hospitality institute, a children’s ministry, a feeding program, a ranch office, and several others I am sure. We also hope to go and see some of Uganda before we leave for America, including a visit to the zoo in Entebbe on the day of departure as a surprise for the kids.
The projects that are being completed this month include, installing toilets and a solar water heater in the new guest houses, assembling two chicken houses to be used for eggs and broiling hens, and also more solar panel work on staff housing, the conference center, the children’s office, and Maggie’s house. If there is time before we leave, there is also gutters to be replaced on the primary school so they can again utilize their rain water, and putting new glass in the windows to protect the students during strong storms. Also, since Arley helped install the new solar panels and pump by the leadership academy, their water tower has been literally overflowing so they are needing to apply a rain barrel to catch the overflow. The barrel that they have is leaking, so Arley is hoping to help with that also before we go. I have also been busy organizing store rooms and pantries for the cooking institute.
Some things to pray about for us this month
Continued health and safety and that the work we have set out to do gets completed.
Our safe travels this month and the adjustments back to the states.
Our prayer and seeking God’s will in continuing our ministry here.
That God would bless these people by our presence, as they have blessed us.
Thank you so much for your prayers before we left, while we were here in Uganda, and for continuing your prayers as we get back and continue seeking God’s direction in our lives. Our burden has become to struggle day by day next to these Ugandans, learning and enriching each others lives in hopes that they can have a better life, and an eternal life, and that God will bless your lives for being a part of His plan in our ministry.
With love and blessings,
