Father's House

Thank you for all your prayers, we have reached Uganda safe. However it was a long journey for us but because of God's favour we made it. Unfortunately we failed to get my dependant pass in Kenya, by the time we were leaving it was not ready yet. We are still waiting but trusting God that all will work out very soon.

Now we are visiting our family in Father's House. The kids are very happy to have us around.  They keep asking how long we will be around, they wish we could stay much longer. Unfortunately we are here just for 3 days but it is always a pleasure to be there and  hang around.

On Thursday morning me and Henry are moving to west Uganda where we will be ministering over there for some time.
Thank you for your prayers and your support.
May God bless you abundantly.

I will not leave you, will not abandon you...

There are times in our lives where we go through very difficult situations and only thing we got at that time it's God who is always on our side.

He says in Hebrew 13;6

“I will not leave you, I will never abandon you...

Do not be afraid, I will help you”

But how easy is to say: God is with me, He will take care of the things, however it's much harder to believe in our hearts . What we do it's worrying about so many staff. I have learnt that this will not help us with anything, we are worrying for nothing.

Not long ago, I was scared we did not have enough money for food. All what we got was little, so we had to plan really well our budget. From this money we still were buying tickets to come to Uganda, paying my visa etc.

One morning God gave me the scripture from Matthew 6;25-33

“Do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn't life worth more than food? And isn't the body worth more than clothes? Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in bams; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds?(...)Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires, and He will provide all these other things.”

The same day Henry came back home and shared with me the story:

When He was running on the beach, one of the tourist came over to him and placed 10£ in to his hands. He did not say much apart “go and buy food”. Amazing! God has used this very man to open my eyes that He really really cares. We do not know who was this man, why He chosen Henry however God knows all that.

I tell you my friend God knows your struggles and He does care about you as much He does about me. When He says He will take care of it, He will. I was overwhelmed by this what had happened to us. God showed us that He is on our side and no matter what we go through He is still there. Let's this worries to go away and let God do His work.

Happy New Year

We trust God that you had nice, joyful time during last Christmas season.

Joy and peace to you this new year! May God convert all your conflicts to comforts, your pains to gains, your minimums to maximums, your scars to stars, your losses to profits, your tears to smiles, your sorrows to pleasures, your bad wishers to well wishers, your debts to credits, and all your dreams to realities. Glad things and wonderful year.

PEA

Polish Educational Association (PEA) is a NGO in Poland. The vision and mission is helping orphans and Christian education. This is the organization which we will be voluntarily working with. As PEA we are in 21 days of prayer and fasting, you are free to join us in this time of prayer. We are asking God to revel to us the place in East Africa where to build the Christian School. Thank you for standing with us, God bless you.

Kyenjonjo, Uganda

Just after these unforgettable moments, we were on our journey to western part of Uganda. It was like 30 hours journey. Mirka's legs were swollen for some few days, but that did not stop her from doing what had made her to go there.

During those 2weeks of staying in Uganda, we helped preparing Christmas parties for the kids. Lot's of Christmas gifts and food were given to over 500 children. Thanks to all who sent us funds to buy sodas and chickens for those kids. The kids were happy and very grateful, praying that God will bless the hands that provided.

Travelling in Africa

The children stay in different homes/areas and we were to travel to these places. Some places are deep in the village, where there is no proper road network. We had to use public means of transport like 14seats minibuses (taxi, matatu) and motorcycle (boda boda). 

The shocking part is that the 14seats minibuses are over loaded to 20 or even more people. Sometimes people carry also the chickens in this buses. It looks funny and kind of interesting for those who come for a short terms missions, voluntary works. They get to know Africans style of travel. However it is very hectic and annoying to do it for a long period of time. We didn't have a choice, as we don't have a private means. It was no easy specially for Mirka. She could be so discourage by the way people travel in that part of Uganda. Please pray for us that God will give us the car to help us to reach to those children's homes.

Also during our time there we met the leaders we are going to work with soon. They were happy to receive us and we were pleased with their hospitality.

In Kenya

Thanks and praise be to our loving God who successfully enable us to register our marriage in Kenya. Finally it is done. Now we are hoping to get Mirka's dependant pass before we move to Uganda.

As we already mentioned before we were meeting Henry's family on 3^rd of December 2011. We were invited to the village where Henry grew up from. It was a big nice surprise for both of us, as we didn't know anything about party which was taking place there. 

The whole village gathered in Henry's family and all of them they welcomed us with the traditional dances, welcome cake and lot's of food. During that function were introduction of different families. Here in Africa they value so much extend-family.It was a good experience for Mirka to learn more about the culture here.
