March News Letter

Dear Family and Friends,

Here we are with more exciting news. Just two weeks after we sent you our February news letter we met with our mission’s director, an overseeing elder, and the missions committee from our church, and were approved for a two year term to begin in July at the start of our training. With our ever changing journey of faith, we have once again been reminded that it is not for us to plan our way, but to trust and act in obedience. Proverbs 19:21 says, “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
With this new development we now need to begin support raising efforts beyond what has already been given toward our four month training at New Hope Uganda’s Institute of Childcare and Family. We are believing God for prayer partners, the necessary funds for start up costs and monthly support to be raised prior to our departure. We have currently raised 30% of our monthly support. Many of you had committed to financially support us on a monthly basis and have asked about continuing your monthly pledge. We are praying that God will lead you to partner with us once again, and are we are praying that He would bring new individuals to join us in the ministry to the orphan children of Uganda.
It was a blessing to spend an evening last week with team members Syd and Andrea Sparks, getting to know each other better and casting vision for the camp that New Hope has asked us to help develop. We anticipate that God will do much more than we can imagine as his plans unfold for that aspect of the ministry. Please pray for Syd and Andrea as they are raising support as well. Pray that God will clearly lead Ugandan individuals to join our team. Pray for us as we travel over these next few months to visit churches in our area.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this letter, and if you have any questions, please let us know. Take care, and we hope to hear from you soon!

Blessings,

Caleb and Alair
