Hope Children’s Home is finally complete! The children have all moved into their new home. They each have new beds, mattress and clean blankets. Our team of 11 are leaving on Saturday June 11th to head over to Kampala, Uganda. We will dedicate this home to the Lord with the Gganda District Officials attending. There will also be many other outreaches that we will be participating in with the ultimate goal of seeing many lives come into the kingdom and the love of Jesus being expressed through each member of the team.

We just received an email from Pastor Sanyu (Prossy Lunkuse -the overseer of this new home). As you can see, we still need to cover this home with prayer for the health of these kids, the ladies who are taking care of the children, as well as for the provision to continue to sustain this home with the everyday essentials:

"Praise be to the name of Jesus Christ. Thanks for fighting for us . We are so glad while awaiting for the 13th day which is drawing closer every now and then. We are in the midst of the ministry and its not an easy job. The kids are getting on well though somehow being attacked by cough, fever hence a need for the medicine and wormcid. After the kids had entered, we again got five other kids of whom three were being deserted by their father and they were about to die of hunger. I felt sympathetic to them . Another one I got him even we do not know his father or mother and the other one got saved the day you preached the gospel. She has two two children of which their father rejected them. Please I humbly request you to forgive me for having diverted from the number fifty to fifty five. Oh Lord please remember the big job your people have done and bless them, let them live longer. I really love you.
Again the nature of the work is so tiresome."

May God bless you
Pastor Prossy Lunkuse

We are glad that Pastor Sanyu took in these additional children! We originally planned to have 50 children move into this home, with the hope and belief that there would be even more kids that would move in. As you read, this has already happened. There is going to be alot of hard work involved in getting this home established, but we believe that God is going to do great things in the lives of everyone involved in this home and release a new hope for these children. We also believe that this new home will be a sign and wonder for those in the village and that God will use it to speak of His love and hope to all of those around!

More Good News

Back in March 2005 , we sent out an urgent request for help concerning a lady named Joy and her daughter. Thank you to all who responded. We are happy to report that Joy has been able to move into her own rental away from the abuse and her daughter is being taken care of by a close friend. We will find out more of the situation when we get there, but because of your contributions, we were able to help this family get out of this difficult situation!

Uganda Mission Team, June 2005

Please keep us all in your prayers! We are believing God for many salvations as we show "The Jesus Film" as well as "The Passion of the Christ". We are also believing for miracle healings of physical needs as well as wounds of the heart. We will try to send out an email while we are in Uganda with an update. Here are a few other prayer directives:

• Please pray for God to do "immeasurably more than all we can think or imagine!"
• Please pray for unity in our team, good health and safety for us all
• Please pray for God’s loving kindness and mercy to be poured out.
• Please pray that God would set up "God appointments" with people anywhere from Portland, Oregon all the way to Uganda.
• Please pray that our team will show His Love in any way He desires.
• Please pray for our luggage to arrive safely as well as for the electrical equipment to work while in Uganda
• Please pray also for protection, especially during the meetings when we will be showing the Jesus Film and Passion of the Christ. We expect many to give their lives to Jesus, and for many to be healed of infirmities and sickness!
• Please pray as well for the entire team : the pastors, choir members, support staff, drivers, and local organizers, and for Pastor Hudson and Pastor Sanyu.
• Please pray for Michael, our Ugandan driver. We are believing that God will touch his heart and he will receive Jesus!
• Please pray that the Lord will give our intercessors in Uganda (and here in the states) keen insight into the heart of God for our visit!
• And please pray that God would receive ALL the glory for everything, big or small, that happens on this trip and afterward! He alone is worthy to be praised!

  Thanks to all of you for your continued support and prayers. We appreciate everyone and can’t wait to share all the great and wonderful things He has done!
