Thank you to all who gave and prayed for
Uganda!
On Saturday Nov. 10, we
passed out 80+ goats bought through the Youth “30 Hour Famine”. Goats everywhere!!! 2 truckloads!
The widows were dancing and jumping with joy as they received their
goats. As we drove from church to church, we experienced the joy of presenting
the gift to others. We named it the
Blessed Goat Gospel Ministry. We were as blessed as they were! (We had decided to give 2 goats to each
church, one for the Pastor & his family and one for a widow or orphan in
the church. The Pastors had exploded
with applause when Hugh announced that they would each receive one.)
We also gave Bibles to all
the Pastors - Study Bibles for the Zonal & Discipleship leaders and English
or Ateso Bibles for those who didn’t speak English. (Youth VBS). The Pastors
applauded when I held up a gallon zip-lock bag I had brought for each one to
put their new Bible in so they would not get wet in the rain. I’ve never had such applause and excitement
over zip-lock bags! Maybe I could win a
prize for the most unique use of zip-lock bags.
Pastor Agnatius is so
thankful for the screens on the Dorms, saying the number of malaria cases has
really dropped with the addition of the screens. (VBS & FBC gifts). We took pictures of as many of the FBC
sponsored kids as we could get together.
It was exam time for some and others had finished the school year.
