Africa 9-10-20

 Greetings from Lugazi, Uganda.  We have been watching and praying for you as we see the devastating fires all over California.

We are safe and healthy here.  The rainy season is causing a lot of flooding and has ruined some of our crops but we praise the Lord for what we have.  Our houses and schools are safe from the flooding.

I have been working on the school and the school curriculum on Christian Character.  I am almost finished with that.  The building is coming along slowly.  We have the building frame and the latrine done.  The playground  is cleared and we will be planting grass and putting in some rock walkways.



WE have the front done and are working on forming the veranda.  Still a lot of work to do.  We have found someone to make the desks for 50,000 UGX.  that is a really good price but we need twice as many because of spacing due to the covid restrictions.  We are planning to put in rain gutters so we can collect the rain water in a tank and be able to have our own water source so we won't have pay for the water.  Right now we are looking at an enrollment of 100-125 and hopefully we will be able to expand.  We will start with nursery through P3 and go from there.

The ministry Project was cancelled for October but they have permission to hold it in January 2021.  Anyone interested in serving in Mbale Uganda let me know and I can connect you.  If you would like to stay over and work with us for awhile I can coordinate that too.  Any time you would like to come qnd visit or work the door is open.

We praise God for all that He is doing even though we can't go out we are still busy meeting needs and sharing the gospel here in Lugazi.  Pray for us as we pray for you.

Greetings from Uganda! Everyone is safe and almost well.  We have had a few cases of malaria and the flu but that is common here so although I hate to see anyone sick, they are being taken care of and they are healing.  Kevin, our head teacher and her baby have been sick, but I have not been able to see them for she has been in Adjumani with here family.  Jesca's mom is also in Adjumani and has been very sick but she is getting better although she is very weak. Common things we deal with here in Africa. We are still unable to travel and although we are in what they call lock down, we have the freedom to walk anywhere.  The children play outside and I go to town and get what I want.  Most businesses are open in Lugazi although we still have a 7pm curfew.  Everything looks normal except there is no transportation.  The buses and the taxis aren't running and I am able to get across the highway without having to dodge taxis and lorrys.  ...

Good morning, We are all doing well, but we are still in lock-down.  We were hoping to get some relief and get back to normal but we have a couple of new cases and so I don't know what Pres. Museveni will say tomorrow at his weekly national address.  There was rumor that travel would be opening at half capacity.  We have had 88 cases, 0 deaths, 58 recoveries and most of the last positive cases have been international truckers (18 cases) Now the next problem is the flooding that has raised the level of Lake Victoria 13.12 meters.  The flooding in Kisumu, Kenya has caused the Lake to rise and 7000 people have been displaced since February. The rains that are so much there have caused problems here in Uganda and also in Tanzania.  One of the hardest places hit is Mwanza, Tanzania where I worked in 2009.  The flooding is effecting all the Islands on Lake Victoria and as far down river as Nakasongala and Lake Kyoga.  I have worked with many of...
