Next Generation Ministry - RICHARD

Our time overseas has reminded us how small we really are 
and How big God must Be... 
There are multiple people groups, languages,and barriers 
that are greater than the resources we possess.
Yet one of the greatest investments we can make (beyond our 
Jerusalem, Judea, Samara, & to the Ends of the Earth),
Is to find local, or national ministers who have a passion to 
reach the next generation for Christ - and who are being
trained in the word, accumulating life experiences, and have 
the advantage of culture on their side.
Tumwizere Richard is just such a man.
Anna & I have been supporting him in a number of ways
(having spent some time with him in Masaka in 2k16)

                                      Richard & Andrew                                Phil & Entebbe

He has had the privilege to travel all over Uganda and beyond,
(serving as a sent missionary from Uganda
 to the surrounding nations of East Africa)...
Sometimes his needs have been simple such as;
a backpack & water bottle w/filter,
so that he can hike back into remote bush villages.
Sometimes his needs have been scholarship/tuition/or missionary support.
As he finishes up his formal education in the next couple years,
we are raising funds to supply a laptop equipped with enough
memory/data/ram (processing) so current ministry will not be hindered
and new endeavors may be multiplied.

Richard, a native Ugandan, who is mentoring coordinator 
for 2 Timothy ministries (on wheels Boda-Boda scooters)
works with the local churches, 
coordinates regional youth ministries & outreaches beyond borders.
We were privileged to work alongside him at the youth conference last January.  Because we have kept in close contact with him and try to assist him when able, we are aware of his current need of a laptop.  So we are extending the invitation to those that wish to partner with us to raise an additional $550 to bless him with a new one - hopefully by this summer when Anna and the Team make a trip over with SOHI.

thanks for considering the investment.
