New Life

Some of the most vulnerable people in this world are kids and we are all indirectly called to love and care for them, they have the decisions to the future within them.
(Loving kids is my hobby..... other than watching Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies)

Hi friends, I would like to take off some time to confuse you with my life here in Uganda, in ministry with Uniquely Woven, and at home every month.

This month I set off to Suubi with my best friend Katelyn(forever) to officiate a childrens' soccer gala. All went well, we got to witness the kids display their skill while playing to better themselves as they take the trophy.

I have managed to make a whole bunch of new friends who work with Katelyn at Raising Up Hope.

Hanging out with Katelyn a lot of the time on weekends, building the cross cultural relationship, creating a whole new level of understanding even with the hard buttons being pushed from the different corners of influence.

One day, we were heading to town when a boda (a motorcycle taxi) in front of our boda just suddenly stopped to offload a passenger and we just bumped into him, then the boda behind us bumped into us, throwing our boda driver off and keeping Katelyn midair because her leg was between the two bodas. God saved the day, we were all alright.

Most Ugandan men keep irritating me with their comments when we walk through crowded places, comments like; "How much can I give you for that white girl?"

It has taken me 21 years to get to know that I actually need a fan in my bedroom. Thank God for influence.

We have a consistent turn up of about 25 to 30 mamas for Jangu Omulise. We are so opportuned to witness two off those mamas receive salvation, thank God for our weekly speakers at this awesome bible study that I fluke in. Seriously, at this moment I can answer 25% of the questions these mamas ask about their pregnancy. I am looking forward to opening up another venue for Jangu Omulise; Bible Study for the pregnant and new mothers, it has seen to the birth of over 10 babies in Namuwongo, babies borne to mothers filled with hope and trust to God, their renewed faith to him. In the same programme of Jangu Omulise, we focus on visiting the mamas that come to Jangu Omulise, bringing our love to the babies, praying with the mamas, handing out bibles and giving out mama kits (a package full of small important items usually required by the hospital where the mamas would deliver from, or also usable in case of an emergency delivery).

Uniquely Woven Ministry continues to focus on taking care of women who would be living in some of the most dark and dangerous places around Uganda, where childbirth is not a time to celebrate. Many of them would not have the supplies, support, or resources needed to have their child. They would live in fear, oppression, and hopelessness, based on losing their husband to AIDs, other diseases, alcohol and polygamy. With a maternal death rate as high as 1 in 11, these mamas could feel as if childbirth is a death sentence.The goal of Uniquely Woven is to give them supplies and support, but more importantly, give them a hope for their future as well as their baby. Keep Uniquely Woven in your daily prayers or you can support now by visiting the website. www.uniquelywoven.org to find out more.

Lastly, I will be getting baptised next Sunday the 9th of November, 2014 at Watoto Church West in Kyengera, I find it a unique symbol of open declaration that I choose to obey Jesus Christ for the rest of my life no matter what. Baptism is a whole command of its own given by God through John the Baptist, the biblical book of Acts, Matthew and many other references. Jesus himself was baptised to complete the process of doing all that God requires. Please pray for me as I wait to be baptised, I have heard this is one of the many times that the devil tries to attack His servants, and I have had many trials since I made this decision. One last scary occasion was today; the taxi in front of my boda broke suddenly, so we bumped into it, and the car behind us knocked us almost crushing us between, but thank God we are alright.
Thank you for your commited support and prayer.
God Bless You
