course other challenges have and will continue to arise as we adjust to meet
them. But all and all, the term was a success in many, many ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Our program is designed for each
village to contribute in key areas. One being building the necessary
structures, another being feeding the pupils and the educators.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 11.0pt;">This also had a challenging beginning. The
concept is new: this is not a government hand-out; and where alcoholism and
poverty is prevalent, the issue makes for hungry children trying to learn and educators trying to teach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 11.0pt;">To
remedy the problem, our Educators called village members together to address
the issue. Their solution is that all contributions and commitments toward
meals be supplied one-week BEFORE Term 2 begins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

huge challenge is absenteeism, due largely to illness among the children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Educators report 2-4 pupils per day are ill.
That is a staggering, yet not unusual, number in a place where malnutrition and
malaria exist on a large scale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please
join us in prayer for this. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Educators
reported that in Latodore, suspicion and mistrust from the village is another challenge.
Educators report that as they stood their ground, continuing the work God has
called them to do, pupils began to come. At term end, Educators happily report
that relationships are now much improved and villagers are beginning to
understand the importance of school as they see the progress their children are
making in a short period of time.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "american typewriter"; font-size: 11pt;">We
couldn’t do this without those of you who have come alongside in support. Thank you – lives, whole
communities, are being changed. Let it spread throughout all of Uganda, S. Sudan and all of Africa.</span></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Just to update you ... I am still here in the good ol' U.S.of A. I continue to care for my dear 89 year old mother here in
Ashland, but am still very much involved in the
ministries God has called me to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Before I update you on that, did you know that t</span>his amazing women I am caring for has lovingly raised 10 children; and she now has 65 grandchildren <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(including great and great-great). </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And though this time is challenging beyond
measure, I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve my beautiful mom. She
has always been there for her children, and this is my time to give back
to her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is being piloted at several Ugandan schools: three Watoto Schools, Oasis of
Hope in Kampala and Gulu, Restoration Gateway in Karuma, and Abaana’s Hope in
Gulu. Keith and Lisa<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>recently visited
the Watoto schools and found the teachers faithfully using the

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">We look with anticipation to the changes that will
take place as the children of Uganda develop a Biblical worldview through this
curriculum and the work of the Holy Spirit; and, as we train and disciple teachers in the way God is leading. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Thankfully, I am able to commit 10-20 hours
per week to curriculum work.)<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You may recall some time back my involvement in a ministry to a little remote village called Latodore. For a few years, we would travel there for 2-3 days each week to build relationships and teach the Word. This was a place where most had NEVER heard about Jesus. Our dear Kenyan friends Fred and Susan have continued the work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This past weekend, we got to re-visit this village very dear to my heart and to reconnect with some dear people. It was such a sweet time of fellowship, worship, prayer, and refreshment. We stayed up past midnight sharing struggles and praying for one another. Then, joyfully exhausted, shared a hut with 5 dear women and a cute little boy named Paul.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, our team of 5, plus a few we gathered along the way, traveled back to Kitgum to meet up with our Acholi family from S. Sudan. I rent a small cubicle on Lucy's compound which serves as our family home. Anyone passing through Kitgum now has a place to feel comfortable and fellowship with whomever might be around at the time. There were 17 1/2 of us <i>(counting Lucy's family and baby Teresa)</i>. </div>

Growing up in a family of 12 happy people makes me so enjoy a houseful! Not that there aren't challenges to 'personal space' at times, but mostly, my heart is overflowing to be with these people whom I have grown to love and respect so much over the years. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We did lots of praying, worshiping, sharing, and laughing together. We shared some struggles, some victories, and some future plans, and it was heaven on earth to me. God worked in all of our lives in so many ways. All I can say in response is THANK YOU JESUS for allowing me to be a part of this!</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">
A prayer of many years </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
has finally been answered. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
God's ways</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
are so awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
He gives us a vision,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
makes it our passion,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
fulfills our passion,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>(which was actually</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>His idea all along)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
then totally blesses us</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
for doing what WE</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
passionately want to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
It's a win-win situation. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
What an amazing deal!</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
What could be better?</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
So, several years back,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
He put a desire</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
in my heart to</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
encourage and disciple</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
the women</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
of Kitgum and S. Sudan.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
But,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
"especially those of the</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
household of faith."</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
It became apparent that</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
the wives of these</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
men in full-time ministry,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
were also serving tirelessly</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
at home</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
with a huge load,</div>

precious children,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
and no break or rest.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
So, Lucy and I</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
began praying for a way</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
to strengthen and encourage</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
not just the Pastors,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
but their wives as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
And thus the idea</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
for this retreat was born.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Once the plan</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
began to form,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
we took action.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
God provided and led us,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
and our first</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Quarterly Retreat was held</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
last week <i>(March 13-14)</i>.</div>

So many wonderful things happening that I didn't have time to share them all with you.<br />
<br />
A few weeks back we joined a team in Latodore Village in the bush of NE Uganda. I have many happy memories ministering to this isolated people group. It was a huge blessing to return and reconnect. Fred and Susan have taken the baton this past year and now lead a small group of followers there. Pics next time.<br />

This past week I again traveled back to Kitgum, where my heart is, to continue language learning, and whatever else the Lord leads us to do. Everyday I spent there was so full of joy. My dear friends, more like family, came from S. Sudan for a visit. We at long last had some time to catch up on things and plan for future ministry. In October we will travel to Pajok and Obbo S. Sudan for a week of ministry. The funnest part is that Lucy and I plan to take the pastor's wives away for a mini-retreat! (Probably the only one they've had ... ever). These amazing ladies have 7 children of their own, plus all the others they care for and minister to. We pray God use us to bless and encourage them as they continuously and selflessly serve everyone around them.<br />

Praying over the future site for our --</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rather God's Educator Development Program.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this site, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
those with a servant's heart for Jesus and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
children will be trained as 'missionaries'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to their own people</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as they give village children a Christ-centered,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
child-centered education in remote</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
areas of Northern Uganda and S. Sudan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are working like crazy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on curriculum and training materials.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We plan to begin in March ... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is fast approaching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please PRAY with us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The program has the potential</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to reach hundreds,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even thousands of children and their families!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some who have never heard of Him before.</div>

<span style="color: #351c75;">I'd love to email you my semi-monthly newsletter if you like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Just let me know your email address and I'm on it.</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #674ea7;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"></span><br />
<div align="center" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">2014
started with yet another set of changes</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> in my life and my home. </span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">as they await their move to the USA to join their adopted family.</span></div>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"></span><br />
<div align="center" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">That
commitment has recently ended and I am now full-time in Gulu </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">with Our Call

a new season of my life begins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Leaving
behind those loved ones</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> that I have been discipling and ministering to for
years; </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">and moving into what God has placed before me.</span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I
love being a part of a team again on a daily basis </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">and I can see that my years
in Kitgum </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">have been foundational in where He is leading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The many relationships and amazing godly
friends </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He’s blessed me with are there, </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">that He sent His son to earth </span><span style="color: blue;">so they could know Him. </span></div>

Women-Leaders Retreat yesterday.<br /><br />Five of our amazing ladies who have been in training came to seek God's direction.<br /><br />It was a precious time; we are in awe of the team God has put together.<br /><br />I'd like to share this quote from 98 years ago to show you our desire:</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: red;"><strong><em>"Christ's
call is to feed the hungry, not the full; to save the lost, not the
stiff-necked; not to call the scoffers, but sinners to repentance; not to build
and furnish comfortable churches, chapels and cathedrals at home in which to
rock Christian professors to sleep by means of clever essays, stereotyped
prayers and artistic musical performances, but to raise living churches of
souls among the destitute. To capture men from the devil’s clutches and snatch
them from the very jaws of hell; to enlist and train them for Jesus and make
them into an almighty army of God. But this can only be accomplished by a
red-hot, unconventional, unfettered Holy Ghost religion, where neither church
nor state, neither man nor traditions are worshiped or preached, but only
Christ and Him crucified. <o:p></o:p></em></strong></span></span></div>
