Cluck, cluck

The chick chicks have all been selected by their own communities- they're currently busy making their hen hutches for the 10 birds they'll soon receive after Friday's training. This training that Rachel, Valentina and I have will focus how to care for hens and how to keep records. On 19th May, one of the chicks became a hen, we've had one egg a day ever since- and Eve is only 3 1/2 months old! All of the women selected are widows, except one, and each has 7+ kids and care for orphans, too. We are all very excited about how having fresh eggs daily will really help out their health. Pray that all goes well with the training and distribution this Friday.

 

Our survey trip to Kaabong (northern Karamoja) was great, all signs are directing us to Lotim (hairy mountain)- Tom will share more on this. Thanks for your prayers, Miriam is doing much better. Pray for Ryan as he soon heads to USA for furlough

Here and there

So KKAB, the team of 4, is scouting out Kaabong district this week. Tom, Ryan and Miriam arrived today –stopping en route to Matany Hospital to diagnose Miriam with brucellosis, or Malta fever – ouch. Pray for her as she endures treatment for the next 6 weeks, and praise God that she didn’t have meningitis. I’m still down country nursing tennis elbow, probably from digging our 1meter deep trenches for our foundation last September. I remained in Kampala over my birthday to see a Danish physiotherapist – immediately after the Italian orthopod recommended surgery!

I’ll fly up to Kaabong on MAF on Wednesday and we will continue to search out where we will settle in after our learning phase in South Karamoja. Kasile, Karenga are subcounties that we are feeling called to. Pray for KKAB unity as we continue to grow and stretch as a team. It seems that God’s slowing us down, seemingly frustrating us with building and language to allow time and opportunities to continually shape and mould us together to be one as He is one.

A day

 Hey everyone, last week I got this idea of spending a day in the life of a shepherd boy.
