I trust you have been able to unwind from the long trip, spent unhurried time with family and friends, and told stories of God's grace, goodness, and activity in the little village of Kiburara.... What a mission we had! As I have reflected back on the time in Uganda, I can't stop thanking God for His grace and mercy upon us. Isn't God good??
On behalf of Doug and the whole office team here at Covenant Mercies, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to you all for stepping out in faith with us to serve the community of Kiburara. Your humble attitudes, servant spirit, compassionate care, enthusiasm, joy, and professionalism spoke volumes to the people of Kiburara of your love for and faith in the Lord we serve. I'm sure many years from now there will be individuals in this community that will still be reminiscing about the life changing experience they had because of their encounter with this team! So thank you for allowing the Lord to use you in this way for His glory.
Let me encourage all of us to pray for Pastor Moses and the church in Kiburara. It is unmistakable (as you can all testify) that God is positioning this church for greater influence in that part of the country. What a priviledge to be part of God's activity in this remote part of the world! Thank you for encouraging the congregation in their walk with the Lord on that memorable Sunday morning, and for your support as they begin on building a permanent church structure. We will endeavor to keep you posted on any new developments. And for those of you who are keeping your bags unpacked, you can be sure we will be doing this again soon:-)
Once again, please accept our thanks to you all for being part of this mission, and for your desire to serve the people of Uganda. You are a great team..., and will be in my prayers often.
" God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them." Hebrews 6v10

"On the one hand, we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life's roadside, but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring." MLK
