Hello Everyone,
Reaching Beyond Words Uganda would like to share recent activities here at the mission house as well as current events for us in Uganda. We really want to thank God that we at that mission house are all doing well and for Reagan to be able to complete his national examinations. The children right now are busy with their studies, since this is a promotional term – the time when children will be promoted to the next class. The tension is very high as they prepare for their end-of-year promotional examinations. Please keep them in your prayers.
Here in Uganda right now, we are facing some major challenges concerning increases in the price of everything – food, fuel, etc. This is due to a combination of both global and local problems happening at the same time. The Middle East conflict has contributed a lot to the increase in fuel prices because shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was disrupted, leading to longer routes, fewer ships, and higher freight and insurance costs, and since Uganda imports all its fuel in dollars, a weaker Ugandan shilling makes it even more expensive. As of late the bad weather – delayed short rains and a lot of sunshine – has also affected people’s crops, hence less harvest, causing reduced supply of maize, beans, cassava, for example which are staples for us, leading to prices going up. We would ask you to pray with us as we have faced some financial challenges. Despite all this, we remain trusting in God, and we are so grateful for your continued love and support. You are making a real difference in the lives of these children. God bless you abundantly. (Thank you so much) We so appreciate you for always standing with the program in your faithful prayers and support. May God bless you and reward all your sacrifice.
