News from Masulita Uganda

July 2009

Hello brethren, greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It has been long since we last communicated. The Lord has been gracious on our behalf; he has seen us through the many difficulties that have come our way.

Caring for Children -- At the close of last year, we came into contact with Compassion International, an organization that works with

churches and ministers to children -- and not only children who are in the church but also children who are outside of the church. Their main goal is to nurture the next generation into God fearing men and women. They pay school fees for those who are in need and help take care for them in their homes. Right now they are caring for 270 children from around Masulita and the neighbouring villages.

The parents who have children in this program decided to build an office from which to run the program since, as a church, we could not physically accommodate the program when it first started. Now the program in being run in the children's church building.

The parents are mixing mud (below) to make bricks. These parents are committed to doing whatever they can to see the project run smoothly in this area because they feel they are being greatly helped during this period of economic downturn.

Recently the project brought doctors to do a medical check up on all the children for whom they care, to determine their health. Only 8.5% were found to be positive with HIV. Below are some of the pictures taken from that medical process in the church building. Thank God for such generous people who are helping the needy in our area. We believe God is going to reward them fully.

Our food bank has come back to full function thanks to our friends in the United States who have sacrificed from the little they have to help us run this program. In this month we managed to go around the villages seeking out the needy and trying to help them with their basic needs. We contacted about fifteen elderly people and a few others who don’t have anyone taking care of them. Depending upon the supplies we have available, we are trying to help them with some of their basic needs like food, soap, and sugar.

Below we see the church van being filled with the things that we gave out to meet their needs for a few days.

We met some mothers in the village (below). These two women have husbands who no longer care for their families; they have left that care entirely up to their wives. We were able to give these women some provisions.

These elderly women below were found with no one to help them. The woman in the picture on the left, below, cares for her grand children full time; the children were left with her by her sons, who do not see fit to care for their own children. The woman (below, right) was found alone and when we showed her love and gave the provisions we had with us, she gave her life to Christ.

We thank God for His love and care for every one of us, as we pray for one another, encourage one another and share his love with one another and to those who are still lost. We believe one day we are going to rejoice before our God the father.

May the Lord bless you,

Pastor Robert
