My Encouraging and Confirming Trip

I always enjoy visiting my brothers in East Africa. But I get to hear about these incredible stories every month, so it was a treat to have fresh eyes with me on this trip. Heaven's Family staff members David, Stephen, and Jonas came along and helped to photograph and interview some of the farmers and disciple-makers we work with. It was a joy to see their reactions. I hope this brief trip report stirs your heart in the same way it did theirs.

You Inspire Hungry Children

Gideo is 14 years old. He grew up in a family that lived in constant hunger. He has 5 siblings. His father Phillipe is a 65-year-old construction worker and his mother Betty is 50. They don't make enough money to send their kids to school and their family only eats one meal a day. That meal isn't enough to satisfy their hunger so they struggle to sleep as their empty stomachs remind them they need more food. But because of you, Gideo's life was about to change and unexpectedly impact his community.

You Made a Millionaire… in Francs

I thank God for you! I am bubbling with joy as I share a testimony of another life you have changed. Your choice to help Emmanuel develop hasn’t just changed his own life, though. It is also going to change many others.

Satisfying the Greater Hunger

Thanks to your partnership with Heaven’s Family’s Farming God’s Way Ministry, our Summit meeting brought all our East Africa FGW trainers together. Our goal was to train them in disciple-multiplication tools. I received this report from Oni in Zimbabwe:

Fruit That Will Last

Since we trained our partners in disciple multiplication tools at our team summit in Uganda in June, I have been excited to see how Griffin in Kenya has responded. Here is an excerpt from a report he sent me in September.

To God be the Glory!

This trip was easily the most complicated trip I've ever booked, with wild price swings and vanishing flights. Also, during the month leading up to this trip, my wife suffered a severe ankle sprain. Her foot continued to swell for a week. It turned out that she had a blood clot in her ankle, which meant many trips back and forth to the hospital. Then 8 days before I left, she tested positive for Covid-19. Pulling double duty at home, trying to prepare for this trip, and trying to maintain a godly attitude all while sleeping on the couch was difficult to say the least. But it was a good reminder that, as the Christian rapper Sevin says, "This faith walk ain’t no cake walk.”
