Our friend, Nora


Nora comes to visit us about once a week & asks us for food and prayer. She is a widow who lives alone and struggles to make ends meet. She has many health problems, but much of that is due to dehydration and lack of good nutrition which we're trying to help her with. Nora is a believer but struggles to depend on God. She is often anxious about her health & her future. Please pray for her with us!

Happy 2nd birthday, Jude!

Judah got some pretty special gifts from his friends - a bowl of eggs & fresh veggies, another gift of eggs, a pineapple, 2 dinner plates & 2 chocolate bars. He loved each one!

Solar oven

Nate & his good friend, Christopher, recently built a solar oven together & are now in the process of perfecting it. We are hopeful that Christopher can start building & selling them to help support himself.

Wonderful fresh produce!

Most of this is from our garden

Celebrating 1 year in Uganda



Nate & the boys are standing about 10 feet in front of the cottage we stayed in. We enjoyed watching rafters on the Nile River.
What a wonderful vacation!

Sunday morning (Oct. 28th) in Bulumaki


The service took place at the home of some new church members. The shrines (small thatch roof huts) in the background belong to the unsaved grandfather of the family. Traditionally the people believe that demons live in those shrines & they bring gifts of food to them every day. It was a blessing for Nate to preach on Ephesians 6 in that setting.

The pastors were thrilled with this generous gift of fresh produce from local church members (Luke 10:7)
