Lydia’s New House

LYDIA NEEDS A HOUSE! Many of you prayed for the little boy, Grace, when the wall of his house collapsed on him during heavy rains a few months ago. Grace is much better, thanks to your kindness and prayers! Our builder said Lydia’s house is too poorly built to repair, so we are laying a foundation for a strong, new, little house for Lydia’s family. Just $1,300 will build her new house, including a cement floor. The old house will become her kitchen room. Construction has begun!

Will you partner with us to provide safe shelter for Lydia’s family?

The foundation and walls: ~$800

The metal roof and trusses: ~$250

Cement floor: ~$250

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1)

Meet Betty

This week, while talking to Pastor Julius, he began to tell me the story of Betty. A few months back, Betty broke her femur. In addition to this, she also has a very large, horrible tumor on her breast. Due to lack of financial funds, both the broken femur and her tumor have been left untouched by medical hands. She and her family are starving. The Binji had set aside some fund for medical needs and when I learned of the story, I contacted Musumba and asked for his thoughts. He quickly bought the family some food to at least help with their dietary needs.

I made a short video for Betty, telling her I was praying for her and we were going to see what the Father does on her behalf. Musumba reported to me later : “When Betty watched your video, she cried a lot and asked, ‘Who am I to be loved by an American?” I told her to thank Yahweh for the people He is connecting her with.” Typically, these people in the more rural villages in Uganda are thought to be worthless and of no concern. For them to be seem by others, to be told that the Father hears them, that they are valued, important,]and loved by Him- this is what gives them the hope to continue. Yahweh has blessed me with the opportunity to see these people and to show His compassion towards them and my goal is to spread that awareness to you all as well.

Praise Report!

PRAISE REPORT!!!!
I have been looking into ministries that might help us get wheelchairs for two disabled young men in Kaliro village. Samuel (Pastor James’ son) is about 22 yrs. old, and Abasa (Abandoned Zam’s son) is about 11 yrs. old. Today, I was contacted by a representative from Joni & Friends ministry. It looks like our prayers are being answered! Hallelujah!
We’ve still got to travel across Uganda to get them, but it’s looking doable, once we get the money for fuel for the trip.
THANK YOU, FATHER!
