More news from Kodike

Image
  Fred (MAF's Flight Follower) and his wife Jocelyn made another trip by car to Kodike to deliver more food stuffs and clothing.  Below are some photos that Fred took of his time there. Fred, and others, will be travelling up this weekend again to minister to the people of this area.  Please pray for them as they do this that many will be encouraged, needs will be met and that God will protect this team in their service to the people of Kodike.       The roads were passable but not without difficulty.  Fred said that if they had come a day earlier it would have been a challenge to get the 1708kg of seeds up to Kodike.       Bags of maize, flour, beans, sorghum offloaded and waiting for distribution     Jocelyn (Fred's wife) helping with the distribution of the food supplies and Fred helping also (sitting on the seat in the picture below)     Above and below people...

Prayer Chains

MAF Uganda has been busy putting the prayer chains together that have been sent over from the UK.  These are strips of paper that people have written prayers on for MAF and for two other organisations that operate in Uganda. Last Friday we had a fellowship day where all the staff, National and International, got together for a time of worship and teaching led by Tony Horsfall (MAF's Pastoral Care Worker, who works for Charis Training in the UK).  During that time we also put the prayer chains together.  As we did we read some of the prayers that people had written.  Thanks to all of you who contributed to this and for your prayers...they work!! Our Information Co-ordinator, Jill Vine, explains it well in the following.... o       We’ve kick started the “Paper Plane Chain” venture with the National Staff helping to assemble and read the encouraging messages sent to the program…the office is now looking very festive.  T...

  A few weeks ago Simon was asked to make a coffin for a baby girl who died, Selah Shalom McPhee.  Simon has made many things with wood but this was a first and not an easy one. With permission from the parents I have included a photo of the coffin.  Please pray for the McPhee family as they go through the grieving process of losing their baby girl.  They have posted on their facebook page some photos of the moments of when they buried baby Selah.  It sure brings tears to your eyes.  You can see the photos on Facebook at Dave and Janna McPhee.  I am sure this will encourage you to pray for this family as they work through their journey of grief. Whilst Simon was making the coffin Zara came in to have a look.  In a matter of fact voice she asked if Simon would make one for her if she died as a child. Simon told her he would but prayed he would never have to.  I was glad I didn't have to answer her.
