Mukama baluungi! God is good! Time seems to be going by so fast and things here feel more normal every day. We have been getting involved over the past few weeks at the Crisis Pregnancy Center in Jinja, where they are starting a new children's ministry program. They handed out the first booklet in a set of twelve Bible studies at several schools in the area and the kids read them, fill out a quiz at the back, memorize a verse, and bring the completed booklet back to the Center on their own initiative. Then we look over the booklet with them, asking them some questions one on one about what they have learned and listening their verse. The Bible studies cover topics such as who God is, who we are, and who Jesus, each lesson building off the one before it and laying out the simple gospel message. There are now over 90 kids involved and that number is steadily growing. It has been such a blessing to spend time with the kids and see the excitement some of them have to learn about God and know Him personally.

        Today one of the boys in the program, Julias, completed the last booklet in the set and turned it in, along with a letter. He wrote about how he had at first had many questions about Jesus but they are now answered and he has died and rose again with Christ, born again as a new person through the power of God. Julias has a huge smile that spreads across his whole face. The joy of the Lord is so evident and I am excited to see how he continues to grow!

"Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders."

-Henry David Thoreau

We covet your prayers! Please pray for the children involved in this program, that there would be seeds planted and brought to fruition in God's perfect timing.
