Seated on several benches outside a small church in Buwenge
town, more than 15 pastors waited for my arrival. These pastors formally
organized themselves under the name Pull the Net for the purpose of improving entrepreneurial
opportunities in their churches and communities. They invited me to meet with
them and talk about how we might work together. My sense that God has led me to
focus more on...

Pastor Fred's Stationary Shop
The whole building is painted w Airtel branding.Inside you'll find office equipment ready for use.
A stationary shop made sense for Pastor Fred and his wife,
given her desire to work and her secretarial skills. A small gift from outside and
the Surprised by Hope entrepreneurship teaching enabled them to easily identify
this as the proper financial investment. They’ve started with some bigger
equipment...
Sanctuary Children Have Moved
They’ve Moved! I couldn’t stand the idea that all these
little kiddo’s were now sheltered and loved somewhere I didn’t know. So, I made
the trip to find them happy and healthy in their new home just up the road from
the old home. So thankful for “Uncle” who loves these kids so purely. The
number of children living here continues to grow…how can you say “sorry I already
have six children with no parents,...

Hope for Orphans is building their permanent school structure using the

Stockings are for More than Feet
Stockings have always been my favorite part of Christmas and
apparently I’m not alone. My aunt and her family love stocking gifts too. But
this year they decided to sacrifice their own stockings and bless my neighbor
kiddos with “stockings” instead. For a few precious minutes I got to remember
the Christmas of my youth…you know…the grabbing, crying, and hitting.
Look at Sheffar's eyes! So big!
Oh...

Don't Fence Me In
As I recline on my living room sofa pondering the events of
the day, a pair of brown eyes shaded by a ball cap peek into my kitchen window.
Several pairs of eyes pass by that window – and my front door and every other
window on two sides of my house – every hour. Back and forth between the water
source and the construction project, they’re hauling two very heavy jerry cans
full of water each time they pass. It seems the distance and weight requires
several resting breaks for even the strongest...

Mountain of Glory Church in Ganda
The church lit up as community members had their “ah-ha”
moments during the teaching about creative and critical thinking. Laughter
filled the church as we practiced problem solving skills with an amusing
exercise. It’s not easy to get the culturally quiet, reserved crowd to make
noise unless specifically praising the Lord…but we did it.
Bishop Joseph Kilifi graduated from Bible School in a
Briefcase...
50 Christmas Dollies in Marikebuni
Take a look at the adorable kids who received dollies for Christmas. Pr Ephantus and a few adult leaders were so helpful in organizing the children to receive dollies and have their pictures taken. The children were even well behaved, no grabbing or pushing. A little more like...what's going on here. Thank you for the opportunity to love these kids on your behalf.
