Tiny two-branch coffee trees line a small section of land
near the only water source in Barrio. Using the proposal writing skills learned
in our first workshop together, Pastor Patrick was able to partner with the
Ugandan government to plant and grow coffee trees. Once those trees get to a
specific size, the government will purchase them from him and renew the
contract.
Sometimes it takes a while – Uganda is still running on its
own time – but I love seeing the fruit so generously poured out over the people
who take seriously the teaching received by Surprised by Hope and their
responsibility in the “Divine-human cooperation” equation.
