We were excited to deliver blessing bags to several sponsored kids at Fountain of Hope School. We also were amazed at the progress and growth at the school! Our dear friend, Robert Siyto, was gone but we had a special visit with Sarah, his wife.
These are the kids we connected with to give blessings bags:
Justin and Megan Souter's sponsor child, Geoffrey.
Jodi, Brenda and Karen with Michelle Hiett's sponsor child, Kevin.
Brenda with her sponsor child, Teopista.
This is one of Robin Souter's sponsor children, Emmanuel. His brothers were home sick with malaria.
David and Sarah Waisana joined us for dinner and shared about their ministry. They also blessed us thru their music and dance. Brenda even got to join in by playing the drums for them!....watch out Errol, your job on worship team may be in jeopardy!:) Our Sunday School class raised some money and our team added to it and blessed David and Sarah with funds it purchase land for their church. To say they were excited was an understatement! We then were able to help them FaceTime with Deena Craighead who has a special place in her heart for them and who spearheaded the fundraising project.
Today(Friday) the men went to NGM Farms to work on the water well. We will post about that later. The women joined Lyzette and her team at the Jinja Main Hospital maternity ward for Charity Day where we blessed each new mother with a gift. This is our team of ladies which include Rebecca and Morgan, house guests of Paul and Pam, Brenda, Zyna, Jodi, Lyzette, and Karen. Esther joined us at the hospital. Zyna and Esther are on Lyzette's staff.
These new mothers are the two cases Lyzette was called to the hospital for. They are both just children themselves, ages 14 & 15, both having been raped. Their stories broke our hearts. Words fail to convey what we are feeling.
Jodi and Karen showing off the cleaned and freshly dressed little baby that Karen had helped with.
This new mother accepted the Lord as her Savior while Esther and Brenda were talking with her and bringing her a gift. We prayed with her and left her a Bible since she has a friend who could translate for her.
While we had some time we wanted to share and update you on today's activities. We will share more when we can.

Thank you for keeping us at home informed. Praise God for a new child in his kingdom! Loving the pictures and stories of some of my old friends and seeing the sponsor children being blessed. Brings tears of joy and a yearning to get back there again soon. Good bless you as you walk in His path of reaching others with the gospel of Christ!
