UGANDA UPDATE March 2004 - HOIMA

Thank you so much to all of you who supported us in prayer during our recent visit to Uganda!

We are back but there are many things for which we would value your continuing prayers.

There are many photos included in this page. For ease a thumbnail has been inserted in the main page but please click onto this to see a larger copy of the photograph in a new window.

Our final destination was Matuga, just north of Kampala.This is the fifth year that the team has visited Matuga.

In the first year, the Revival Life orphanage,school and clinic was just a vision in the mind of Pastor Ivan, replacing a hilly rubbish tip. Each year we see new buildings opened.

There is still a need for more development, for a better water supply for the pupils.....   Click here to view a larger copy of the photograph

and secure funding for the rent paid for a decrepit building where the clinic is housed.
 

 

The team is already being asked to return to Uganda next year, to the three areas visited and to another, Nakaseke, where they have worked before. Please pray for wisdom for the team leader, John Letch, as he discusses possibilities.
     
Lastly, please continue to pray for Sheila, who remains critically ill in Johannesburg and whose condition is giving more grounds for concern. Family members are flying back out there as a matter of urgency. Please remember John, her husband, her children Liz and Tim and her sister Enid. Sheila is a much loved team member. She is our musician, who accompanies us on the keyboard at crusades, and is a generous lady, with a great heart for the children.
     

This family shown with her, who have 9 children and another due soon, have been supported by her for the last year.

Update 19.04.04. Sadly Sheila went to be with the Lord this morning. We thank God for her life and her witness, for her passion for Africa and her generosity. Please pray for the family as they arrange for her body to be flown home
