Still standing against government graft that has blocked our official registration of the orphan homes and prevented us from legally taking orphans, we are very aware of the spiritual battle raging in this place.  So, while seven homes are ready to house orphans and four moms are trained to take care of them, we await God’s resolution to the graft problem with the local probation officer, thus granting us approval to take those who so desperately need help.  This has been a difficult thing to understand, but we feel very strongly that God has not just called us to care for orphans………..but to also stand for His righteousness.   Much time has been spent meeting with top district officials, and just last week our papers were submitted to the central ministry in Kampala.  Because this is part of God’s vision for northern Uganda, the victory is already His.  In a little over two years of “boots on the ground”, God has established this place as a gateway for restoration and provided all that is needed to see His kingdom advance.  To Him be all the glory!!   Please join us in thanking Him.

To those of you who have participated by coming and those of you who have so faithfully given in many, many ways, we offer our deep gratitude.  Thank you for partnering with God.   Many dear friends have specifically provided times of getaway for both of us when needed.  To those of you who are preparing to come, we say “buckle up”,  because God is moving as only He can.  To those of you who are thinking about participating, we say there is still much that God has prepared for us to do, so jump on in.   ”Don’t lose heart in doing good.”

May God’s richest blessings come to each of you.

Yours in Christ,
Tim and Janice

Greetings from Uganda! We pray all is well with each of you.

We have been drilling wells all week that your generous donations and prayers have made possible. The first borehole produced little water and was then totally spoiled when they dropped 53 meters of casing down the 89 meter borehole and could not retrieve it. The second borehole produced 2,800 liters per hour which was half of our projected needs for the life of the project. Then the third borehole was done without extra cost according to our contract if we did not get the needed 5 liters per hour from the first two drills. This third drill produced 18,000 liters per hour, but this was reduced to 10,000 liters per hour because of difficulty getting the casing in. Still with a capability of producing 12,800 liters per hour this is 2.5 times what we need as far as water. We are way blessed and we are so grateful for your part in this huge blessing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We have also been greatly blessed by having one of our workers receive a 25,000 dollar heart surgery for free to correct a critical valve stenosis. He is making an uneventful recovery.

God is sooooooooooooooooo good. Have a great day.

Love,

Janice and Tim

P.S. Please pray that we will know the
best way to store and distribute this water.

“ In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
