God's Working in Kuffu!

 You see how many children are in this village school -278- now and counting!
 There are so many that I teach Babies to P-1 in the first 1hr.15min and another group P-2 and up the next hour!
 This school has been awesome to teach at the Headmistress(Sylvia) and her staff are just awesome!
 We are seeing the Muslim children that are attending this school come to know Jesus Christ!
 This is a baby class teacher.
 This gentleman is named David and teaches many subjects in the higher grades and is my interperter on Thursdays when I am teaching and is on fire for Jesus.
 The day arrived and the older group received their bible they were amazed that someone would give them a bible!
 Now this older group of kids over 100 are reading thru the book of John with me each week.
Each week when the older group comes to Chapel along with their Bible Story for the week we will be playing Bible Trivia from the Chapter in John that I have assigned them to read and they can win sweeties(small candies) for getting the answers correct because they have been hiding God's Word in their hearts. Wow what a privilege to see God working. I drive about one hour and fifteen minutes from my church to reach this village. Two thirds of the road is paved but then I enter the dirt part and wow it's amazing how God is using all that driving experience of ten years on a school bus here in Uganda. When it has rained the night before the mud is like driving on ice.  Don't worry I'm never alone Jesus is always with me and the Pastor that started the school sends his wife with me each week to work on all the reports while I teach Chapel!

To God be the Glory Great Things He has and is doing!

Yeah the 2012 Team arrived(My pastor in the middle-Andrew)
 Wonderful to see old friends!

Witnessing Family Style

 Donnie ready to role and tell people about Jesus.
 These three are ready to see the village.
Of course it's Adolf  only heaven could keep him away!
 It's a family affair----coming to Uganda!
 Get the show on the road.
 Here's the bus and no Helen's not driving!
My pastor Andrew we are saying good-bye to the team they are going to the village to share Jesus!
 We started with Creation/Adam&Eve Fall and now God's provision the Birth of Jesus!
 They wanted to take a picture as I was leaving.
 We are now covering Jesus Death on the Cross for us.
 Now the Law-10 Commandants and how Jesus saves us by Grace!
 Great Day to give a high five for what Jesus has done for us!
 It's a great Day to praise the Lord!

Put God 1st(craft time) they love it!
 They got to use sissors-glue-crayons!

 They had a blast doing this craft.

As you can see they are having a blast with learning God's Word and also doing crafts. We had 270 children in two shifts this last week, maybe 20 of them had held a pair of sissors before in their life so they are learning many new things. Of course the craft is always about God so it can hang in their huts because thats how they live this is a village school. Many live in grass roof mud dwellings! This week I will be giving the older 90 children bibles and they are going to start reading the book of John and play Bible Trivia about this book and win sweeties(small candies) for answering questions from the book of John.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
