II Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is
sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will
boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest
on me.
This past month has been a
real learning month for us. We have
definitely seen God’s Power in our weakness displayed as we continue in this
support raising process. It is a
process, a learning process. God has
been teaching us to depend on Him and not on our own strengths. It has been one
of the most difficult and challenging experiences, yet it has also had so many
rewards and blessings. We have seen God
work in the hearts of people we didn’t expect or imagine, and been rejected by
some we thought would be a help and encouragement.
The many joys we have
experienced this past month far outweigh the discouragements. We have been able to build
relationships. Some old relationships
have been renewed, some new ones have been established, and some close relationships
have grown deeper. We have been able to
share God with some for the first time; and we have learned how important the ‘Ministry
of Giving’ is for us and for the giver.
God has given us the opportunity and pleasure to pray with, and for, our
partners in Christ. We have been able to
share prayer concerns with each other and lift our burdens and blessings to Him
in prayer. We have seen the power of
corporate prayer and what God can do in and through His people.
As most of you know, we were
planning, and hoping, to leave for Uganda mid February, but we are still here. We are learning that we can plan, work, and do
all that we can to raise support, but everything is in God’s timing and in His
control. We have visited many churches
and friends and put many miles on our little car while raising support.
We have reached
62% of our monthly budget. We continue
to seek God’s guidance as we reach out to people and churches for the
remainder. We are looking at securing our flights for April 3, but still this
depends on if we are closer to 100%.
If you have
made a pledge already, but have not sent it in, please do so. And, Thank You to all of you who have
committed to serve in this way, and for being a part of this Ministry Team with
us!
If God is
leading you to help, please visit our Donate Page for how to support us. Please feel free to contact us anytime. We would love to hear from you and share or
pray with you.
We are
excited to get to Uganda and work with our Team!
Since the start of this year 94 Women are now in the Women’s Bible
Study! Many have received Bibles in
their own language. The men’s Bible
study has grown to about 40 and St Paul’s Primary School’s enrollment is
busting at the seams with over 300 students.
Hearing all the good things happening and knowing our Team is waiting
for our help makes our hearts ache more, but we know God’s timing is perfect
and we will get there in His time.
A.W.Tozer “God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible. What a pity we plan only the things we can do ourselves.”
