Education continues in the classroom at
Canaan Farm with my students progressing in their Workbooks-on to the
next level-exciting! I helped lead a Bible study with 20 women/2 men.
The topic was prayer and you could feel God's presence as His Word
was read in Acholi & Swahili & English. Then outside there
was more dancing, singing & drums after a village meeting at the
Farm that announced H2O Life was helping them buy an acre to farm &
drip irrigation for vegetable income generation project. H20 gifted
them half of the irrigation drip lines and is starting a samll micro
finance project with this as they have had business training and
they will be paying back the second half of the drip line costs with
a loan they will pay back with profits at 3 years or sooner. We are
excited as this empowers them and gives responsibility and endless
possibilities to bring their families out of poverty once succesful.
We awoke at 4:30 this morn &
cruised (rather bounced on rough roads) to Kitgum to look at a potential well site. We were in the
heart of land devastated by the LRA war & Kony. We toured Kitgum
Infant Care Center & met with the Director of a 100-child Tender
Trust orphanage. I am overwhelmed by the kindness, hospitality, &
joy of the people I have encountered. Redemption grows delicately
toward the surface through soil of tragedy to see hope blossom..So
grateful for all of you. Heather R
