Praise and thank You LORD~living water!
    I’m very thankful for God’s Word! As I pray and read, I cannot help myself, at times, to just say, “Hallelujah! and Amen!” – like an, “eruption of the joy of the Lord” in my heart! A Pastor once said. Yet, at other times, I’m quite sad.
     Yesterday was wonderful day all around! It was a blessing see and hear a dear Pastor, brother and friend preach (via the internet) a wonderful and encouraging message. I had to search around a little and revisit the “message archives”, but I found him. I hope to listen to a couple more.
      The other day I was looking across the street - it looks like the green fields of Ireland – and in the middle of the pasture you could see this little white baby calve all curled up in the tall grass. It was so sweet! I thought about trying to sneak a picture to share, but I was quickly reminded that some of the Mama cows have HORNS! Here is one picture from this morning.
      I pray you all have an awesome day in our LORD for there is MUCH to rejoice in~Amen!

     Ocuka is now getting back to normal after the rocky episodes of the New Year. All the children are back in school and the Lord has opened so many new doors.
     Praise the Lord !!! We have now purchased a new generator!!! A great Big thanks for our sending church, First Baptist Wilmer, and Adaton Baptist church in MS and to Kathy at Palm Desert Community Presbyterian for raising the much needed funds. We bought a 16.5k CAT. Imagine, we can now use our coffee maker and iron at the same time, while the refrigerator is on!!! (Keith told me today that we might even be able to get ice in our freezer!!) What luxuries!! 

     We have been contacted by many people who are asking us to start Primary schools in other areas. That would be a long term plan, But God is able. Also I, Lisa, have started a Bible study for women in Guruguru.
But right now we want to introduce to you our new friend, Silas. About a month ago a woman came to our gate seeking help because her hut had burned down. She had a baby in her arms who was severely malnourished. As we began to inquire about the situation this is what we learned:

Silas – weighs about 6lbs
     She and her husband have three children, all of whom are malnourished. The oldest one is almost 4 years. The next one is 2 years, and the baby’s age is hard to tell because he is so small. The mother does not know how old he is. She is not producing milk. Upon further investigation we found that the husband is mentally ill and this woman is very handicapped with a birth defect and also due to childhood polio. Wow we were stunned to find out that they live not very far from our compound. But the baby was our greatest concern because he had fever and was so weak. We tried to give them formula to feed the baby but the mother kept losing the bottles and could not remember how to mix it (she could not count). So I went to the probation director in town and explained the situation. It was decided that we would take the baby temporarily, for a short time, until a decision from the Govt. could be made on how to help this family. They are now investigating. For the last several months we have had with us one of the older girls who grew up in GSF (Good Shepherd’s Fold) orphanage. She is preparing to go to the university. Her name is Alyssa. She is now caring for Silas. He only had one name, Ojok, which means in Lwo, “bad spirit’. So, we named him Silas. We are not sure how all this will work out, but we knew that we could not risk little Silas’s life as his parents are not able to care for him. The other two girls are also at risk. Please pray for this family.

       We will be coming back to the States for furlough, on April 14. We would love to visit with as many of you as possible and speak about all the opportunities for building the Kingdom of God. We need your prayers in these specific requests:

• Healing for our hearts from the crisis we recently experienced.

• Direction from the Lord regarding the family of Silas.
• Many churches and friends to partner with us in the rapidly expanding work of the Lord here in Northern Uganda.
• Funding for the next wings of the school (we have maxed out our capacity this year) and funding for the teachers houses to be built.
• The proposal that was sent to the Govt. regarding a pilot school using the new Christian curriculum!!

      We can never thank you all enough for your generous support and donations, but remember that God is using your faithfulness to build His kingdom here among these vulnerable people. Praise HIM!!!!

In Jesus’ Name,
Keith and Lisa
 

      “He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 KJV)

     And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 
     So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein [there is] life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:24-31 kjv)
     Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. (Genesis 2:1-4 kjv)
