It’s been a few days since you’ve heard
from us… so much has been going on. We’ve been working hard at the Village
finishing off many jobs and repairing all houses, as well as laying the
drainage, sewer and water supply system for the left side of the village.
On Monday we were able to help with a home
visiting ministry run by a great couple we have contact with in Jinja. They are
living and working in a community, helping to develop the community by small
enterprises, women’s groups, and a home visiting ministry. We split into 2 groups and were able to go in
to the homes of people to encourage and pray with them, as well as give them
gifts of soap and sugar. The excitement
and appreciation was very apparent! That
evening devotions with the kids at the village was also highlight.
Luke and Elaine also joined us yesterday
and have settled quickly into our team and it’s great to have them. Luke has quickly found his place back behind
the camera. Can’t wait to see the
results.
Today, we were able to visit the men’s and
women’s prison. The guys went to the
men’s prison and the ladies to the women’s.
Us men were able to share a message with the prisoners and then pray for
them. Very touching! The ladies all had to preach a short message…
we discovered a few dormant gifts!!
This afternoon and evening we spent time
with the students at Hope Community High School. A volleyball challenge first, where we
won one and lost the other. We
discovered competitiveness on both sides!!! This evening we joined in devotions and dancing with the
students. Awesome!! 
Today we also were able to purchase a new
Boda Boda (small motorbike taxi) that will be given to a family in need to
enable them to earn an income. Quite
different than riding a motor bike in Australia!!The challenges of getting the container released, and other things keep us busy too, and we would love you to keep praying for us. Pray that we stay healthy, as we get more tired as well. We’re enjoying a great place to stay and great food, which we’re so thankful for, and those that thought they might lose weight have been sadly mistaken.
Till the next update….
