Returning to Uganda & Kenya October 28

Many things are happening and we are ready to return to begin AWANA in Rukunjiri Uganda, meet with Engineering Ministeries International regarding site plans for more homes for orphans, a church and possible renovation of an existing school. We continue to pray that God will bring some people to join us on this trip. In Uganda Mark will be teaching a group of men the class "Doing Business God's Way" then travel to Kenya to continue working with the "Iron Men" in Kisusmu who are completing their business plans.

Several groups of people are developing to support the different aspects of the ministry. Some business ladies representing the board of Houses of Hope will be visiting after we leave in November to research construction needs for more homes for the children, possibly assistance to orphans in Northern Uganda and a major project with a church in Wakiso. Also we have connected them to Debbie Farah at Bajalia Trading Company to explore more opportunities in the crafts ministry for women and children in Africa, India and Guatemala.

Some other friends are supporting the pastors with laptops they are collecting to send back to Uganda and Kenya on the next trip. In Belton Texas, God is connecting us with more nurses who are interested in helping the children and we are scheduled to meet them the end of September before we leave on the next trip. Two of them are nurses and one has a husband in the construction industry interested in the clinic to be built in June 2006. There is a short term trip to Uganda scheduled for June 9-23, 2007. $3,100 per person inclusive of all fees except passport, visas and immunizations. More details to follow on the trip with pictures of the clinic building site and staff.
