God's Plans are Amazing!!!

(NOTE:  apologies for crazy formatting -- blogspot is not cooperating. LOL)

I want to tell you about some exciting and amazing things I witnessed 

this past October when I returned to Uganda to 

reconnect with my dear family and friends. 

If only words and pictures could convey the incredible things God is doing there!

Let me start with my visit to our Village Learning Centers.

(One of the most powerful ministry ‘programs’ I have ever witnessed, by the way. )

I'll let comments from the villagers speak for themselves: (translated)

These little sweeties truly LOVE school !

“My child was very stubborn. Now he comes home with Bible quotations. He can quote and understands the meaning...”

“Our child is now leading prayers at home.”

“There is a great change from parents working together.  We are learning cooperation; we come together and share ideas; we are learning conflict management and team work; … to love and work together as one ...”

“The children are challenging their parents. We also want to learn to read and write.”

“The vision to penetrate this village with the Word of God is happening through the children; 

it was difficult with the adults.” 

~Pastor Fred Lukulala

“Children are giving families enough information to have 
spiritual growth at home."

“Children are going for prayers [church services] – parents are now coming also.”

“People are now hearing from God.”

Now, if that is not enough to just totally blow your socks off, 

as it was for me, there's more ...

In the most remote village, both men and women have organized football (soccer) teams; alcohol consumption has reduced and with that, several other related issues; more parents are coming for prayer and coming to know Jesus!

Lisa, co-director of partner ministry, Our Call Missions, attended a meeting last month of the Association of Christian Schools International. Directors from all over Africa were in attendance. 

She was told that 280 schools from various African countries are requesting our curriculum. 

This is BIG guys!

(Apparently, no other curriculum like this exists.) 

When God has a plan, He doesn’t mess around!  This is way beyond our abilities, which makes it all the more incredible — to Him be ALL the glory. We want every word to be Holy Spirit inspired! That Lisa, I, and the team would have the time, energy, and presence of mind to write creatively and to hear His voice. 

“So that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us …” 

~Acts 17:27
