Progress

Hi friends,

In the last post you read about a 7 month old baby boy named Katoyia who was in very BAD condition. Renee had done all she could to save this severely malnourished child but he was (and is) completely in the Lord's hands. We were updated the other day that he is doing much better and his twin brother is fine as well! Please go to Renee's Blog HERE and read more details. You will also see some of the other sick children that are currently living with her to receive care. Please be in fervent prayer for these kids and Renee. She doesn't usually have much help in the day time and never has help at night... alone with 7 babies!

Renee is coming to America sometime in November and we want YOU to take advantage of the opportunity to meet her, hear her story, and help in whatever ways you want to! We will be holding a fundraiser in Chattanooga, TN on Saturday November 20th. The details are in the works, but please go ahead and mark your calendar for that evening and SPREAD THE WORD that Renee will be there to share what's going on in Uganda and how you can get involved! As soon as more details are worked out, you will be the first ones to know! We desperately hope that you will commit to being there to hear what Father has been doing and what He is continuing to do for His children in Uganda!

I know it has been a few months now, but we want to say THANK YOU again for your love. We will be forever grateful and humbled by your prayer and support we received while we were at work in Uganda. We felt great comfort knowing that so many of you were thinking about us and talking to the Lord on our behalf while we were gone! God willing, we will be journeying back again from May to June next year. We will be taking a few more "hands and feet" with us this time and looking forward to lots of work in His name! RIght now we are planning, researching, and praying for projects we can take on while we are there and we hope you will join us in praying about these things. In Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10, Paul (inspired by God) tells us exactly what we were created for: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for GOOD WORKS, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." So, currently we are praying and asking God which good works He created for us to do in Uganda in May and June of 2011. We beg that you, as a part of The Body, would take part in praying with us.

Please spread the word about this blog if you feel compelled ; ) Everyone wants to be a part of something, so why not Uganda and it's hungry children?

We love you... yes, you. Grace to you and peace.
