DRIVE WAY

We thank God for Schoolies team...

Schoolies team came in big mud with huge rain as unusual systems. God spoke to uncle Johann about drive ways. we thank God working through the team of Schoolies and Johann, as it was like a dream come true for  us. We did not need to live life parking our van every day at Suubi house when it rains. Thank God.

The entrance to Village of Hope looks great with a nice crossing over the drain - teh Schoolies worked very hard to make this happen - Praise God!

We thank God for his faithfulness .we are looking forward to raising them within 2 to 3 months then sell them. After that we want to buy layers for eggs and more broilers to increase our farm income.

Its some hard job to do but we thank God who has helped us to have the birds after a long time of waiting .Everyone at the village especially the children are extremely  happy and working very hard to see their growth. We thank God for this addition .

We thank God again for the providion of the funds for this project through the Schoolies team - Praise God!

 MOTHER'S WORKSHOP

We left the village at 2pm and went to town  

with the mothers for a parenting workshop.

Theme of workshop : PARENTING IN GOD’S WAY: our speaker  introduced and explained the word parent as pa-rent = as we all know what God says about children as his gifts. So "par" - means  authority given to you as care taker, "renting" -  parents are just given responsibility of passing on care from God

It was really good for mothers to have workshop and to understand how God valves children as His heir so parent are in position of being accountable to God for raising ,shaping and preparing them for a life of service to God and humanity. This point raised questions from our mothers to understand more and the speaker was good enough to explain more with guidance of the bible references.

Biblical principle of parenting, role of parents, styles of parenting  Knowing your child, mothers couldn’t speak any more because they discovered that they had not known their children at all. After they raised a question to the teacher if he was willing to have another session with them and make follow up with them on weekly basis and have some one on one with each mother at least once a month.  The facilitators were Mr.and mrs Fred Mukasa, leaders of family ministry [ywam] and every home for Christ in Uganda.

OUR SHELTER

Some meetings will be held in our new shelter besides the rock at village. And its now a beauty salon for the girls.The teams will also be having their Rolexes and breakfast in there, especially quite time, prayers for individuals and some small groups. etc

Comfy Chairs

Joy mounted  up in our kids when saw chairs on the  van today. Everyone was struggling to be the first to sit.

Thanks to the Schoolies, for helping each of our houses to become more comfortable and home...  it’s a blessing .
