Wakiso Church Building In Process

Many times we don't have any idea what God has in mind. We sit next to people on airplanes and sometimes don't even want to talk...we would rather sleep. However, God sometimes has other things in mind. That is what happened with the conversation between Margaret and Samson. Both wanted to sleep from London to Entebbe but God had other plans and continues to open more doors. Samson's brother is a pastor for Central Baptist Church Wakiso, Uganda and has begun a building program to move the church facility from under dangerous power lines to another location. They have secured the land and needed help with plans and construction. Margaret recently sent an e-mail to people she thought might be interested in a construction trip only to find out that God had other plans and timing! The next day a friend said count us in to help for $1,000.

So on our recent trip Samson and Margaret delivered the funds, shared their airplane story with the congregation and before departing to return to the U.S. a retaining wall had been built and construction was on its way.

Many other doors are opening since the church has taken over a nearby school. We are excited to see how God may be providing a place for orphans to attend school, another house for orphans on the church grounds, and also serve the orphans at Rafiki the Bible Study Fellowship village for orphans nearby. Susan the pastor's wife is active in BSF and teaches a Sunday School class for some of the children from Rafiki. Imagine that, especially since Margaret attends BSF both in Dallas while in the U.S. and Kampala when she is in Uganda!
