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.
