We are very blessed to be here at Miracle Center Church in Maninga Village.  The people are wonderful and the pastor has blessed us with fish, chicken and other foods.  I taught twice yesterday and we showed the Nativity film Monday night and the Jesus film last night.

I will teach again tomorrow and then on Thursday we will go to another village

Prayer proclamation for the islands:

Let the false prophets of the islands be blinded and silenced by the decree of the Lord, let Your mighty power deliver them in Your salvation, in Jesus name.

Let all those enslaved by witchcraft be loosed on the islands in Jesus’ name.

Let Sandy, Patrick, Pius, Mary, Grace and Ken preach Your Word with the fire of the Holy Spirit; heal the sick and cast out demons, in the name of Jesus.

Good morning prayer team,

It’s Saturday morning here in Iganga, Uganda.  Thank you for praying.  The Lord blessed me with good connections, good seating, pleasant people to sit by and all my luggage arrived with me.  Thank you, Jesus.  Peter was waiting for me and I slept very well the first night at the Entebbe Flight Hotel.  Yesterday after exchanging money and getting my mobile internet activated in Kampala, we drove to Hope Orphanage in Iganga.

I was welcomed by my Uganda family:  Kenneth, Phil, Moses, Matoo, Esther and several dozen children that live here at the orphanage.  About two hours after arriving, the electricity went off until about 10 p.m.  I was glad I’d unpacked some of my items, so when it got dark, I could find my flashlight.  I enjoyed my first meals of Ugandan food.  Matooke and a coke for lunch.  We had supper of rice and eggplant by flashlight.  The food really is delicious.

My body clock isn’t reset yet so after a three hour nap, I was awake most of the night.  My prayer request is for my body to adjust and sleep all night tonight.

Today I’ll be unpacking and organizing things to start going to churches. Peter will be arranging my schedule and Phil will help service my generator.

The weather here is like spring cool at night and warm in the day.  It is much cooler than San Antonio!  You just thought I was suffering!  Ha!

Thank you again for being on my prayer team

Greetings to my team,

God is good all the time and all the time God is good!

I leave for Uganda on Wednesday, July 7 and will return on Sept. 3. I appreciate so much your prayers and financial support. My biggest praise report is that I have enough money to buy 6 cows for Joy Orphanage on Sigulu Island. Thank you, Jesus, for all those who contributed monies to help these orphans.

Also, others have contributed monies for the purchase of Bibles for the pastors. Thank you so much. The Word of God is desperately needed. In addition, I’ve been blessed with 10 proclaimers (mp3 players with the New Testament in Lugandan) to give to churches, schools, and/or orphanages. Some lady friends have made about 600 salvation bead bracelets that I can give to new believers. Hallelujah! God has blessed me with these resources to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Uganda.

Thank you for your prayer support. Here are some specific prayer requests:

• Holy Spirit to prepare the hearts of those who will hear the Gospel
• Holy Spirit’s guidance in all I do and say.
• Protection for my home and property while I’m gone.
• Health and safety for me and my Ugandan teams
• Health and safety of my family while I’m gone.
• Make all flights and connections
• All luggage to arrive with me without anything missing.

Someone asked me last week what my most urgent need was and I replied, “Prayer.”
I appreciate your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit when He prompts you to pray for me.
The time in Uganda is 8 hours ahead of Texas, so if the Lord wakes you at night to pray for me, it’s during the day for me.

May the Lord bless you and reward you for being part of taking the Great Commission to Uganda.

If you want to be taken off my email list, please tell me and I will do so.

In His Service,
Sandy

I praise God for all He has done and all He will do through you, my partners, and me this summer as I spend July 7-Sept. 3 in Uganda. There is also a possibility that I will travel into Kenya. I’ll teach at a pastor’s conference in Uganda. As I travel to the villages, I’ll continue to teach, show the Jesus film and give Bibles to pastors. The need for the Word of God is great, so I’ll continue giving the Books of Hope and Proclaimers to churches, schools and orphanages.

This summer the Lord has impressed upon me to assist Joy Orphanage on Sigulu Island with some milk cows. In the past your support has enabled me to help with food, school uniforms and school supplies for these children. Patrick, the head of my island team, is the founder of the orphanage. There are 75 children that are full orphans (both parents are dead) and 30 children that are half orphans (one parent is dead). Patrick took in these children and started a school for them. He must feed, clothe and educate over 100 kids plus his own 6 children. I’ve worked with Patrick for many years and he is an awesome man of God with a heart for the children and the lost. After much discussion, we decided that the best way to help the children is through the purchase of some milk cows. The children can drink the milk and the excess can be sold in Patrick’s store so he can buy other things the children need. Since Patrick owns grazing acreage on the island and the lake provides the water, the cows seem like the best animal. If you would like to partner with me in this project the cost of a mature milk cow is $250 and our goal is to purchase 4-6 cows.

I appreciate you so much. Thank you for partnering with me through your friendship, love, prayers and resources. When you stand before His throne, you will receive rewards for the advancement of His Kingdom in Uganda through our team work.
In His Service,
Sandy

Hello team,

Thank you for your prayers. I arrived safely at my home in San Antonio last night. Although there was a 2.5 hour delay in leaving Uganda, I was able to make all my connecting flights.
I had nice aisle seats and pleasant people sitting next to me. The time between flights was 3 hours, which was great. All my luggage arrived with me. Thank you for your prayers.

You, the prayer/financial support team together with the Ugandan teams accomplished the following through the power of the Holy Spirit.

26 village churches visited
3000+ taught
7000+ viewed Jesus film
1500+ indicated they received Christ
5013 Books of Hope given
256 Bibles given
600 salvation bead bracelets given
6 New Testament Proclaimers given (audio Bible)
150 pastors taught in a two day conference

Thank you for partnering with me. May the Lord bless you abundantly.

I will be going with a team to Argentina March 19-28. I would appreciate your prayer coverage for this mission trip. I appreciate your prayers and understand that you made need a rest from praying for another mission trip so soon. So, if you would like me to remove you from the email list, please let me know.

I would like to pray for you and your family, so email me your prayer requests. Even if you don’t have a prayer request, I would enjoy hearing from you.

Thank you again.

In His Service,
Sandy

Faithful ones,

Yesterday we went to our last church. Pastor David started Grace Church less than two years ago and there were at least 100 people present for church. They were so happy to receive Bibles, Books of Hope and the Proclaimer. We weren’t able to show the film but when they get a permanent structure, I plan to return. If anyone wants to build a church in Uganda, let me know.

Today I’ve been cleaning things, organizing what I will leave behind and packing my suitcases.
In the morning Peter will drive me to the airport.

Please pray for travel safety and favor. Here are the particulars.

leave Entebbe at 10:50 p.m. Tuesday night (1:50 p.m. US time)
arrive Amsterdam 5:30 a.m. Wednesday morning (Tues. 8:30 p.m. US time)
leave Amsterdam at 10:40 a.m. Wednesday morning (1:40 a.m. US time)
arrive Atlanta at 2:55 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, (US time)
leave Atlanta at 5:45 p.m.
arrive San Antonio at 7:36 p.m. Wednesday evening

Thank you for praying. It has been an awesome 7 weeks. After I get home, I’ll send a summary report.

May the Lord bless you abundantly for your faithfulness to pray. May God get all the glory and honor and praise for what He has done through us.

In His Service,
Sandy
