HELP! I'M OVER-BLESSED!

Thank you for your prayers and fellowship in the work we are doing in 'Great Lakes Africa Mission' from 'Tavistock Community Church'. Even if you could pray only once it added to our heavenly bank account!

GIFTS - £800 has been given to help Dilly's cancer op and convalescence. Dilly can't stop saying how wonderful you are! I've heard Bishop Bosco has received $'s above his need for transport. Bless you and we praise God for folk like you. Rash, Sham and Saida had a term's school fees paid. Thank you NHCCC!

HOLIDAY APARTMENTS - The 'Sunrise Apartments' project, our investment with our OAP savings, is already ceiling high and progressing rapidly. Robert, Rwenzori Construction, has been zealously pushing the work ahead. We look forward to inviting you to stay, help in the schools, hospitals and churches, and then have an exciting time in the game parks and reserves. Some have already been and had wonderful, life-changing experiences. How about coming this August or next year? We'll arrange it at a cost to surprise you!

Pastors, leaders and missionaries enjoy meeting in our home and we anticipate great friendship to grow and continue. We work toward fellowship in unity for the Kingdom of King Jesus! Missionaries Alan and Heather Hall (left) labour sacrificially, traveling on pillion of mopeds (Boda-boda) taking teaching around the villages, encouraging pastors and people. This is quite a trial, and a little car would be such blessing to their ageing bones! £2,000 would be a real investment for you in the Kingdom then you can watch God's reward coming in!

AMBULANCES - Huge thank you to St John Ambulance Brigade for donating two ambulances. They are about to sail! We've been promised $10,000 to assist passage by container. It's in the pipeline. Please pray it comes out the pipeline soon. We shall need to supplement but you can steal our blessing by sharing in the cost. Do contact us if you can help. God is faithful to His promises. Last July we personally put many thousands to send containers. Within a month the Lord repaid! It's a privilege to invest in the Kingdom. The interest rate tops the big five! There's a 32-room building at Fort Portal waiting to become a clinic to be a base for the ambulance to function as a mobile clinic/X-ray around the villages. £5,000 pays the first 6 month's rent. All the equipment and staff are eagerly waiting and ready to do their bit…..can we help with our bit, the finance?

JARED - this grand man of faith is a problem to me. He provokes me to faith for finance. With our help he has built a home, which is now a school for 230 orphans and poor children. He feeds them, accommodates 20 homeless kids and now runs a church for the folk in the slums. The government says he must supply running water or close the school. Great distress! He needs £150 to supply water. Jared has only one hand to work with - plus ours! Call us if you can help on +1822 616625.

PRAYER - I expect to leave early February and my wife Joy to follow a bit later. Please do continue to pray for us, your prayer support is much valued:

Sundays: Wisdom and clarity to build God's people with good teaching.
Mondays: Faith and clear direction for the 'Sunrise ' building process.
Tuesdays: Love, kindness and clear direction for the staff, training for future.
Wednesdays: For our health - physical, mental, spiritual. To be inspiring for others.
Thursdays: To be wise and righteous in dealing with officials and leaders.
Fridays: Funds to come in sufficient for all the need. Many suffer, we can help.
Saturdays: Great thanksgiving for all the provision, protection and joy to serve.

We hope to be home early April with inspiring stories of how your prayers and interest have supported the work.

May God bless you and keep blessing you!

Happy faces at a birthday party at our house!
