To help us reach more people, we will be starting up a website. We are working to get as much information on it as possible. If there is something you would like to see on the website, please let us know. When it is up and running, we'll give the address here and let you know it's ready.
In the mean time, we've heard from Patrick in the Lugazi area. Ken went with him to his home village in the Masaka area (Feb'06) with some people from the youth group. They spent 5 days there, having open crusades, visiting people in their homes, conducting church services on Sunday and also had a fire to destroy witchcraft items after a family turned to God.
One thing in his letter to Ken that struck us was when he talked about it being the first time visitors had ever gone to people's homes. It seems natural for us to go to those who can't make it out to the large gatherings. It was surprising to hear it was a first for people to be ministered to that way.
That's all for now, keep an eye out for the web address

A friend of mine who is interested in going on a mission trip to Uganda recently asked me what are the needs of the people there. Wow, after stopping to think on that, I really couldn't nail down just a few answers for her because of the great need of so many things. I would like to tell you about one in particular for now.
On our last trip in March of 2007, we met with the Bishop of the cathedral we work with. He inquired about getting medical equipment in the area. Ken has been looking into a few different packages that International Aid carry. There are people in the area who have the knowledge to put the items we have found out about to great use. They would not only use the equipment to help people medically, but they would also be ministering to them with sharing the Word of God.
The cost of this equipment is $8,214, (plus shipping). A large undertaking it seems, but I know it is possible.
If you feel you could help with this, (all donations are now tax-exempt) please contact us at:

Thanks for your consideration!
