This is our SUUBI neighbor... Nathan.
I call him by his African name... Mukiibi.
From the very beginning of this project he has helped us in one way or another.
He has always been willing to lend a hand and work hard...
even before we started giving him
a small amount of money.
He simply loves SUUBI.
And I have grown to love him.
Nathan is not a believer...
and that weighs on my heart.
My prayer is that he will come to know Jesus as Savior... soon.
Nathan and I do not communicate very well... yet!
He is determined to learn some english
and I am working on my luganda...
and some day we will have great conversations.
For now... we just laugh a lot!
We took the opportunity to serve Nathan and his family...
by purchasing some lumber and metal sheets
so that he could put a roof on his house.
"Sharing the love of Jesus in a practical way"!
His family had been without a roof for quite some time.
He was very happy with the gift!
So happy... and blessed... that when he finished the work
he wrote this message on the front of his house...
"In God... All things are possible".
Can I get an AMEN?!!
Friends, never under estimate the power
of loving your neighbor.
"This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else." 2 Cor 9:12-13
Thanks be to God!
Glory to Him ALONE!
Please pray with me...
for our neighbor... my friend...
Pray that Nathan will come to know
Jesus as Lord, and Savior...
for there is no greater JOY!
"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers,
intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone...
This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
who wants all men to be saved
and to come to a knowledge of the truth."
1 Timothy 2:1,3
