Building, Building, Building

You may remember pictures of the Land that was purchased earlier in the year. Children were out planting and now there is a road and almost two completed homes.
The field in front of the hill has been planted with maize, beans, cassava, potatoes, banana and sugar cane. UJV has already harvested some of the maize. Children and staff have been enjoying the fruits of their labour
As you can see, construction on two homes is underway. In fact, these photo's are three weeks old and one of the buildings now has a roof on it.
I was particularly blessed by the way UJV is blessing their neighbours. This man owns the well but it took him around 97 hand over hand pulls to bring up one bucket of water. Luke helped him out by buying this equipment and it now only takes him 19 turns to bring up the water.
You also saw pictures of the school being constructed. Lighthouse Primary school is located in Kampala behind Streams of Life Church. Here are the first five classrooms finished. The children began their second term here in May. Presently, two more classrooms are being built and a resource/administrative building will soon be added. The school is opening up to the community and to date have 5 children enrolled. We want to empower UJV to love their school, their community, their city, their country and then the world.

In anticipation of the Freshfire mission team arriving, the UJV choir (see Freshfire web site to obtain a copy of their CD) is presenting in their new costumes!
God is so good. Memory (choir director) and Maria (international volunteer) have been heading up the discipleship and sports programs. It is exciting to hear of the children sharing their testimonies, and beginning to preach in a variety of local venues. The children are hungry to hear the voice of the Lord and recently several have begun speaking in tongues.
There is a break in the school term and 12 students are leaving soon to meet the Freshfire Missions team in Gulu. They will participate in the crusade and then the team and the children will come back down to spend time at the UJV and the Kampala area.
If you are interested in volunteering at the UJV in Kampala, don't hesitate to contact Jennifer at Ugandajv@live.com. Bless you!
