The Suubi Project will be featured in the December issue of the Living Magazine - DFW Area edition!
This is a huge blessing for us and an awesome opportunity to get the word out about what the Lord is doing through this project.
Ready or not... God is moving!
To Him be the GLORY!

48 More
We have 48 new children that need sponsors.
It takes $30 a month to sponsor one child.
That covers school fees, two meals a day and medical care.
30 bucks a month = O N E life changed.
I don't particularly like asking for help.
I'm a "get 'er done myself" kinda girl.
But this is not about me.
It's about precious children
that need provision to go to school,
so that, they have hope for the future.
So that, their lives will be changed.
They deserve a chance.
So, here I am...
asking you to pray...
asking you to share...
asking you to change a life.
All I can do is ask.
So... Will you join Suubi and change a life today?

LOOK what God has Done!
If you have just joined our journey...
let me tell you a little bit
about what the Lord is doing in Ug*nda
through this ministry.
The Suubi Project sits on a hill
bringing HOPE to the community.
These are our children's homes
where orphaned/abandoned children call home...
(This picture was taken from the road coming into the village)
This is Suubi Community Church
and Suubi Primary School.
"a light on the hill."
Our dear friend, Joseph...
is the Director of Suubi...
and the Pastor of our church.
These are the precious children
whose lives are being changed
through Suubi's sponsorship program...
and these are a few of our amazing teachers.
Someone recently asked me "why?"
Why are we doing all this?
My answer...
I am compelled by the LOVE of Jesus.
That's why.
His great love compels us...
to tell others of His love for them.
His love compels us...
to help the orphan...
to minister to the poor and needy.
As believers in Jesus Christ
we are to be His hands and feet...
we are to LOVE...
and we are called to SHOW His love.
A little love goes a long way...
Love CHANGES lives.
"Why do this?"
ALL for His GLORY...
that's why we do it.
He alone is WORTHY of praise!
His glory WILL shine on and on and on...
I'm just thankful He is allowing me
to be a part of what HE is doing!
He is SO faithful...
just look at what GREAT things He has done!!!

Testimony
Tonight at church we were given the opportunity to share our testimony about how God brought Suubi to life. We told the people how God put a strong desire on our hearts to help the children here. We told them about His great love for them and how He directed EVERY step of the process to bring Suubi to reality. We told them how God provided for every need and we praised His faithfulness!
As I shared a very diluted, shortened version of ALL that has transpired out of His great love and faithfulness, my heart was encouraged and I was overwhelmed with the goodness of our mighty God! "The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made!"
After we shared our story, Joseph began sharing his testimony and then Arnold shared his story too. What an encouragement! For me to hear the details of how God began aligning this whole project YEARS ago... wow! The details of how God brought us together and directed everything in order to fulfill His purpose is a beautiful testimony of His faithfulness. "He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. He sustains the fatherless and the widow." What a testimony of His love for His people!
After the service, we had the priviledge of handing out bibles to those in the congregation that did not have one. What JOY! It was a blessing to be able to hand these beautiful people the Word that will truly change their lives! It makes my heart so happy to know that they will be able to read about true HOPE!
And just when I thought this night could not get any better... Mukibii Nathan was standing in front of me waiting to receive a bible. It was my greatest pleasure and JOY to hand Mukibii his very first bible. His entire family has confessed Jesus as Savior! Oh how glorious! Oh how wonderful! is our Savior's love!
Where does our hope come from? Our HOPE comes from the Lord! To His name be PRAISE!

JOY
There are hardly words to describe this incredible moment!
The moment we arrived at Suubi; JOY was present!
The reception we were given was a moment
I will never forget.
The children lined the road up to the church,
singing and dancing, to welcome us.
It was INCREDIBLE.
To see this project come to life...
To see the children whose lives are changed...
To hear testimonies of salvation...
stories of lives touched by this project...
I am filled with JOY!!!
I am so utterly grateful that
God has allowed Gary and I
to be a part of what He is doing here.
How I praise His holy name
and the GREAT things He has done!
Thank YOU (each one of you!)
for sponsoring a child...
for donating money and time and talent...
for supporting Suubi...
for advocating for the needy and the orphan!
YOU have made a difference in the lives of these children...
You have given HOPE and changed lives!
"Your LOVE has given me great joy
and encouragement!" Phil 7
and OH! the joy that fills this place!

Village Children
The need seems overwhelming in the village surrounding Suubi... Until I break it down in smaller portions.
When I realize that with a little help... a LOT can be accomplished. And with that thought... HOPE rises up.
We have 40 children in the village that NEED sponsorship. They need to go to school. They need to eat.
We have calculated that for $30 a month... one child's life can be improved... their future changed.
That amount will provide two meals a day, school fees, and medical care. 30 bucks = changed life.
Can you spare $30 a month?
Think about it... What do you spend $30 a month on that you could go without in order to provide for one child?
$30... means ONE life is changed.
The truth is that Jesus didn't ask us to care for the poor, the orphan and the widow... He demanded it.
As Christians... it is our God-given DUTY to care for the less fortunate.
Most of the village children have never been to school. Most are living with widowed mom's or grandmothers. They are ALL poor... they all need our help.
Won't you join us?
You CAN make a difference. But... will you?
