At the beginning of the year, as Mike and I prayed, the Lord impressed upon us that this would be a year of building the foundational pieces of our ministry.   As we enter into the second month of the year, I find this to be very true.   The Lord has had us evaluating our role in benevolence and our roles as ministers.   Carol and I moved to the Island opening a new place of ministry to us.   We are more clearly seeing who the Lord is molding through us and those that God is using to walk beside us.  The Lord used our housing turmoil to continue to flush pockets of flesh out of my soul.

As we look forward to the spring, I have been invited to attend the graduation activities of our Bible college in Uganda.  This group of 37 are the first graduates of the first Bible college in their region of Uganda.

Simplicity Solutions is also slowly taking shape, but sales are coming slow.  The Lord is once again showing me that He alone is the Lord of the harvest.
