Greetings from Oklahoma! We have enjoyed our time at home with our family, church family and
friends so much this winter with the exception of the cold weather. God has called us
back to Uganda and we are ready to begin this new chapter in our lives. We plan
to leave March 27th and return October 27th. Then if we are still needed we
plan to return to Uganda January 15th, 2015 for several more months.
The verse God gave us
is Revelation 3:8: “I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open
door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have
kept My word and have not denied My name.”
We will be staying in
a furnished guest quarters adjoining “The Path”, a restaurant in Lira which the
expatriates enjoy. We will not have to set up a home like we did last time, so
we can jump right in and begin helping at the orphanage Calo Me Lare
(pronounced chau-low may laaaah-re) sponsored by Project Hope Worldwide. Our primary ministry will be mentoring at the church & orphanage.
This photo was taken
at the annual dinner/auction called Kwero, where funds are raised for Project
Hope Worldwide. We are excited that all the proceeds will help orphans around
the world. In addition to the funds raised, 27 people became new sponsors for orphans
in Uganda and in other countries. If you are interested in sponsoring a child
go to www.projecthopeworldwide.org.
We appreciate all the
prayer support and encouragement we have received from everyone as we prepare
to leave. One of the most encouraging things Jesus said to Peter was found in Luke 22:32: "But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen the brothers." God bless you all for praying that our faith will remain strong and that God will use us to strengthen the faith of our brothers and sisters in Uganda. Be assured that we will be praying for you too.
Blessings,
Dennis &
Margie
