TLC Uganda, Inc. is now an official organization. I just received the news that our paperwork was processed by the state of Florida, and we are official! 

Our home church, CrossRoad Church, has come alongside us, commissioning us again as sent missionaries and financially partnering with us. This brings us to 32% of our funding goal. We are not waiting, but charging ahead, trusting that the Lord will provide for whatever He calls us to do. If God is leading you to partner with us, please contact me for more information or visit our Contribute page.

As evidence the Lord provides, we were notified by our bank that we had unused sky miles. They extended an offer to let us apply them toward travel expenses on which we used our Visa card. My whole round trip airfare, the travel insurance, and our recent U-Haul rental were all reimbursed. That’s right. My flight to and from Africa will be free!

Further evidence of God's providence presented itself last week when our friend and mechanic, Stephan Steward, was able to resolve an automotive issue simply, though it had left me stranded on the first of our moving days.

 

We are in the midst of clearing out the big house, which is almost empty except for a few dust bunnies, painting supplies, and miscellany one might find on Facebook Marketplace. It’s been a challenge cutting our living space in half, but we have been in our condominium about a week. There are some repairs needed on the house, so we have a contractor working on the large tasks, and Cindy and I are doing our best on the little ones. I am terrible at painting and recently discovered I’m fairly horrible at tiling bathroom floors too. 

I leave for Uganda again in three days, and we haven’t listed the house yet. This leaves the super-admin-woman, Cindy, to handle that without me. At least she will have the help of our friend and realtor, Tom Moore, to get it all done right. He made buying our condo a breeze.

There is lots to do and little time in which to do it, so my writing break is over. I’ve got quarter round to tack down and dust bunnies to chase. 

Thanks for praying. The Lord Who sends is also the One Who provides. 

I had interested friends ask me to keep you updated, and I am so grateful for those of you who followed along with my journal and went, in spirit, with me to Uganda. I get texts everyday, via WhatsApp, from my new friends across the globe. I am happy to keep you informed.

Zam, Robert, and Praise

Your prayers are working. I just learned there has been rain at the RG mission compound the last several days. Nurse Patrick thanks you for your prayers, and hopes this good soaking will be just what the gardens (farms) need these last weeks before harvest in a couple weeks.

I have a new prayer concern. My friend, Zam, the sweet one who had me over on her birthday and who gave us the video matooke-making lesson, has malaria in the third trimester of pregnancy. She asks for prayers for herself, her unborn son, Noah, and her husband, Robert (my buddy) for patience while she is in the hospital.

Some of the ladies sent their beadwork home with me to sell. So If you have an interest in supporting my Ugandan friends, and their incredibly time-consuming bead-craft appeals to you, please contact me. I am willing to mail them if you are willing to support these ladies. Contributions can be made at this link. Thank you.
