Merry Christmas to all of our friends around the world!
Our children's home in Uganda is celebrating their first Christmas. They have grown to seven in number now. They received some Christmas gifts that we were able to come up with. It is really some basic items like underclothes that they desperately needed and just a few personal items, and they were able to get a dress as well. They went to church this morning to celebrate Christmas together. We also have a boy that is waiting desperately to join us when we have a boys home available. He is able to spend some time with the girls for fellowship during the day right now. We have been giving some assistance to him in the meantime because he is in such a desperate situation. When we spoke with our Program Director this morning, he told us; "The children seem to be gaining some weight and are looking good." He also told us how the children are most grateful for everything the ministry has been able to do for them thus far. Right now they are in temporary quarters that are serving the purpose for housing and they have food, and we Praise the Lord for that.
The Lord Will Provide! We believe this more and more everyday. How we have been able to have enough money to send to help these children in Uganda month after month is beyond me! We did just have an occurrence of a dangerous situation, which reminds of us of the reality of the situation the country of Uganda is in. Our Program Director was robbed at gun point along with fellow passengers in a taxi. They were stripped of their clothing and their possessions. He had just picked up funding for several of our projects. This included funding for the girls home, the crusade for 42 youth members of YCMC, and Pastors Gerald & Betty's children's home. This amounted to $400.00 US dollars. So when we say the Lord will Provide, we know what He has to do; in this case it needs to be provided twice!
We need to pray for the bandits and love them as we are told to do in Matthew 5:43-48. 43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies[b] and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
It is not always easy to have faith, but it is in times like this that we are put to the test. Do we really believe or is it just some nice words? We believe He Will Provide!
May God place His blessings on us all on this special day, and let us remember to give Him thanks and praise!

I thank you for reading my life story part 1. Here come a new part. Firstly, i would like to thank Mr. Jim and his wife Robby for what they have done for my life, they have really done a wonderful job. Secondly i would like to thank the family which donated a Door to Door bike which have helped us in our mission. Really i thank every one. My second part is compared of many things.- How we started- What we use- Challenges we have passed through- The kind of people we have metand many more. Last time i stoped when i had told you about the burning desire i had.By that time school time was approching and i used to take my studies from St. John's Kabuwooke S.S.S. This school was is a catholic church based school. What do you think here?A priest Head master! what can i say the Adminstartion with only Priests, a nun in the burser's offices, a brother who is the director of studies!. Do you see that things couldn't be easy for some one who is saying " am a born again". In fact a first i feared to tell my friends tathat i had accepted Jesus as my savior. I feared the adminstration very muchhhhhhhhhhhh.I said Lord according to the Bible, challenges are blessings from God. Now this was a blessing. I gained comfidence form no where. What i remember one night i had some thing telling me that you don't have time, go and see the adminstration. That morning i had to go. As usual, the Head master's office was ful time quite. At first i feared. I knocked."come in"i had that voice. I had never seen the Head master smileing. Praise the Lord. The HM said my son what do you what? with a smile. It was a miracle. Sir you know democracy i one of the aims of our school, and in fact here show balance in many things. Sir i accepted Jesus as my savior.So what he asked? Sir here we have many Born Agains and i was proposing that let us also have a chance. What chance? he asked. am saying we want to praise as we born agains. The HM said ok i will see what we can do.It was a monday remember. On thursday he called me and told me the good news."KASOZI NO PROBLEM ARRANGE YOUR SERVICES ON SUNDAY AFTER THE CATHOLIC SERVICE" it was a miracle!. I started looking for Born agains in our school. It was not an easy work because some one could not tell you thet he/she was a Bornagain. They were also fearing the adminstration. The Lord made my work for searching Born Agains easier. In only one week i managed to get 12 members.PRAISE THE LORD. He moved like that looking for more and more.The term had to end and i had to come back home. I had to tell the story to Jim and my friends.B.J and J.N they also agreed to do the same in their schools. They had started a door to door mission and they had got 17 youth. It was not a bad starting. We usually moved long distances like 7km on foot. We had to tell Jim about this. Jim and his wife came to meet us and we took a short video coverage. We were asking if any one helped us to atleast one Bike so that we would use it in our door to door mission. Jin and his wife came to see us in the next week. We talked about many things. They told us about a certain family."There is a family which donated a bike" wow it was very an belivable. on the nettime.But i would like to take this oppotunity to thank the family which donated a bike.May the Lord bless all of you.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
If you looked at our web site recently you would have noticed that it says under construction! You know what that means, we are preparing for our new direction, by updating the information about our Ministry. We are working on all the sections and pages so as to best represent what we do.
In the midst of all this we have already begun our new work in Uganda. We have started a children's home with six girls. There are many children that want to come, in fact we hear of more and more everyday, but we can only take in what we can handle. We are in the need of more sponsors to help finance this project. You may have heard that Jireh Ministries in Uganda is no longer eligible to receive our support. This is sad to say but was a necessary step for us to take. It is good that we found the problems and have taken action to stop it. We know that this is why the Lord sent us to Uganda for six months. We know that the funds we provided from our supporters fed many children and paid teacher's and staff.
Most of our sponsors have been notified with the opportunity to continue on to help these children at a new facility. Many have agreed to continue to support the children.
We have many children that are wanting to leave Jireh Children's Center in Uganda because of the many problems they face there. We pray that the Lord continues to provide for our Ministry so that we can take care of all that He wants us to do. Our first home is a small facility for girls only. We have many boys that also need a place to live and are waiting for a home. These children are comprised mostly of orphans and /or in a desperate situation. Since we uncovered the problems with the children's center in Uganda, rumors have already begun in Uganda. This type of thing is something that we knew would be forthcoming because this is a common way that some people behave over there. It was never our intention to receive any children from JICC but it seems the Lord has other plans for us. As you may read throughout our blog, we have a few areas of ministries that we support. It seems taking care of children (orphans) is top on the list with God! So here we are Lord!
We don't want to disclose all of the things that they were doing over there. For one thing it is very hard for most people to believe, especially the ones that have met the leaders of JICC. How could this possibly be, with people that you love and trust and pray with? Yes it was very hard for us as well.
The situation is best summarized in Romans 16: 17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving the Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. 20 the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
We are planning family group homes where the children will live as a family, where they can pray, work and play together. They will learn responsibilities and they will receive training in life skills. The children will be enrolled in school for a good education. Our sponsors will have an opportunity to write to several children within a family and will be known as Auntie and Uncle to the children. The sponsors will have access to a web site to keep up with the children's schooling, medical, and spiritual growth.
We have a missionary coming with us to stay for a year beginning in February. The Lord has big plans for us and these children! Praise God! Please pray for us.
