NEWSLETTER March 2008

Dear Brethren:

As the season change, we anticipate the budding of new life in the atmosphere around us. Bluebonnets, trees, a multiplicity of flowers and vegetation erupt through earth’s surface once again to greet the day. At every turn, we are reminded of God’s rejuvenating power.

All creation speaks of His glory and we sing hallelujah! Despite the cold, hash conditions of winter, we have for the newness of life. From the rain of His spirit upon us, we are revived. Everything that has laid dormant in us is quickened, and we bring forth more fruit.

Your gifts allow us to bring hope and the newness of life to those who might otherwise remain untouched As you sow, we water, it is God Himself who gets the increase as lives begin to bud and bring forth substance.

The pictures you see are the children in Gulu, which is in northern Uganda. The people of Gulu, have been going through a lot of trauma for the last 20 years. I think most of you have had about The Invisible Children. That story was taped in Gulu. Last year, I was privileged to visit and start a work in Gulu. Most of the people live in government camps, because of a satanic man who calls himself the Lord’s army. He is just a terrorist, creating fear in people killing and raping innocent lives. Your gifts of support help us to reach these children to have some hope. Most children have been displaced because of the war.

Our work in Gulu: Reaching out to the displaced children. We gave books, pencils, chalk to educate these kids.

In a world that hungers for the example of commitment and loyalty, we take this opportunity to thank everyone who shares in our mission. Through our work in this ministry, particularly with orphans and children living in poverty, I have realized that education is a necessity. Most of us were so privileged to have gone to school, and we want to also to make it happen to these children. Thousands of children in Uganda-let alone in this war-tone district-do not receive the education at all. We thank God this ministry stands as trees of righteousness planted by the rivers of His living water and because of you we can provide relief for others that they may bud, blossom, and bring forth much fruit.

Most of these boys were “ boy soldiers” they were adapted by the lord’s army and now they are in rehabilitation. We need to send clothes, books, games to help occupy their minds.

Recently you have been reading and hearing in the news what is happening in Kenya. Uganda is just next to Kenya, because of the past wars, there are not many industries in Uganda. So many goods we use in Uganda are imported. We have no access to the ocean for shipping. We are locked inland and all that comes into Uganda has to pass through Kenya. Because of the fighting there, it has made all the cost of goods too costly for us. We feed children on a daily basis. We need your immediate help, because of the high costs of goods. Pray for us that a miracle will happen to help us continue to feed the children without turning anybody away. We have an emergency situation and we need your help.

Easter is almost here! As we continue to marvel at the great love that God has shown to humanity, and the great work that Jesus did on earth and on the cross, let us continually give thanks to our Father for everything that He is to us! Whether in good or bad circumstances we have the security of knowing that the God who loves us as the apple of His eye knows all; He is not limited by distance and He is able to do all things!

We have a program to help women learn a skill, some have aids. So help to bring back hope for them not to think about what will happen next. There is also so much need in this.

Indeed our God is a promise keeper and He desires to bless us. Even in these precarious times of economic uncertainty, we have a place of rest in Jesus. As with the children of Israel, we know that when there is darkness in Egypt, there shall yet be light in the land of Goshen. The Bible declares in Psalm 121:8 KJV, “The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from the time forth, and even for evermore.”

We are praying for you, I pray God’s blessings be upon you now and always. Thank you for standing with us in your prayers and financial gifts.

In His Will,

Solome Musisi
