There are quite a number of things going on our lives as a family and I will try to share some highlights. Frist and foremost, we are thankful to God for the gift life, we are all alive and doing well. Our school going kids are in school they all did well on their exams last term, and they back to school for this new term that has just started. Joe is also doing well and he will be one year this month on the 22, we are praising the Lord for his life and for allowing us be a part of what He is doing in his life.

The biggest highlight is, Claire is going back to schools as this will be beneficial to our family and the ministry God has called us to.   We ask for your prayers as this is going to be a little costly [and we do not have a source of income for this yet, but trusting to provide] and this will come with a lot of changes in family. 

ESUUBI COMMUNITY CHURCH.

As Esuubi community church, we send you greetings. We are thankful for the Lord has been so good to us.   As we updated in the last newsletter that we were to do our ever first believer’s baptism, we thank the Lord that it went so well, 17 people from our church were able to openly proclaim that they are thankful to the Lord has saved them and therefore to proclaim their  faith in Him publicly and they got baptized  [immersed in much water] .

In our connect, train and send strategy to make disciples for  Christ in our community. we have been training 12 leaders from our church. We are using a discipleship material [Design for discipleship] from the Navigators which we asked permission to translate in the  local language [Luganda]. 

We are so far at lesson six [we do a lesson a week].   This study has allowed and teaching many believers in our church to search the scriptures on their own as they have to answer questions in the work book after studying a given bible passage or verse.  Their theology is also getting better.

In our connect strategy, where we connect with unbelievers to bring the gospel in their neighborhood, we will be starting small groups that will meet in a home [two groups; each in a different community corners [for the start] will be inviting non-believers, and share a cup of coffee, and share biblical truth with the intention of building relationships to share the gospel. We have created the materials for using in these groups; starting from creation working up towards  fall in Genesis 3 and then after the fall we will introduce the gospel as it will be relevant  to the context. Some of the leaders from our discipleship class will be co-heading the connect group as a way of introducing them to the send section. Remember our strategy is to connect, train and send.

FOUNTAIN OF LIFE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL.

We are thankful to God for having successfully completed our first term. In Uganda the school has year three terms and three breaks. Last term we had 70 kids in our school in five sections [kindergartens to primary two].    As a way of using the school as a tool to make disciples for Christ,  we, always have chapel every Wednesday, this year from primary one and two we are doing the gospel of John. At the  end of last term we had 20 kids who had trusted Christ for the  salvation of their souls. We praise the Lord for these souls whom He has graced to cross from death to life [John 5:24].

Thank you all who supported us [with prayers and finances], both local and international friends.

We are praying that these young people will continue to desire growing in the way of the Lord. A big number of them fellowship with our church.

Three weeks ago, we started our second term, we are praying that God will provide for us with funds and other needed resources again this term and praying for more gospel centered and mission minded teachers to join us as we are short of teachers.

 MEDICAL MISSIONS.

Our medical continue to be busy as always, in this second quarter we have mostly with patients at our home clinic, we haven’t been able to do any mobile clinics since Kenny has been teaching English at the school. In this past quarter we had a serious emergency as one of the kids from the community who also comes to our school swallowed a coin and we had to rush him to the national referral hospital in Kampala, thank God we have some connections there that helped.

But also very thankful for a friend who came along and paid for the necessary bills.

Our garden.

We are privileged to have a bountiful harvest of maize this season.

This will save us on some of food expenses for the school.

In the other news.

We are thrilled and thankful to God for an answered prayer.

God has opened a door through a dear brother that connected us to his home in Alabama. God has provided an opportunity to Partner with his home church as a way of furthering the gospel.

There is so much that the Lord will do through this partnership. We will keep you posted in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you all for praying!
