Home, Music, Ministry and More

Becky loves sewing, and after taking some tailoring lessons in Soroti, she is now sharing her skills with friends in Gulu.
Sarah desires to learn how to play guitar and follow in her father's musical footsteps.
Moses hopes to mentor a few more musicians at church.
As the trip around the world continues for these Roots to Fruits students, they were invited to our house one day to experience life in India.  They watched Intro to India videos while sipping spiced chai and eating samosas and chevda.
Every child gets a country stamp in their passport!
Sarah performed an Indian dance.  :)
The kids learned a lot during their short flight to Asia.
I hope I caught most of the facts from the lesson. :)
On a side note, I can't believe that the kids are afraid to play with this beautiful creation.
God delights in everything He has made!
Our tiny church put together a great Christmas service.  The Sunday school and the choir did a great musical re-enactment.
And their was audience participation too.  University Community Church is our new home church family and we feel at like a part of the family here.
Becky working on some home studies... trying to keep up during the 2 year school lock down.
In December, thankfully, I was able to get my legal visa renewed for another 3 years.
It's always a stress to make it happen, but the Lord works it out every time!!
Moses preached in Soroti
For Worship Sunday
One of Moses' life themes is worship, so it was a blessing seeing him put his gifts and passions to use once again.
Some of you may know Vanessa, in the middle, my sweet neighbour that I lived with for 8 years while in Soroti.  Becky and Sarah love visiting with her too.
We completed another module of Timothy Leadership Training.  This last workshop was on "Biblical Preaching" and now within the next 3 months, we have to preach at least 5 sermons using this awesome tool for sermon preparation and preaching.  Pray for the 28 preachers and church leaders who attended this module, that they will apply all they have learned here.
On December 18th, Moses gave away his sister Norah.  A proud moment!
Here I am with my sister-in-law - Victoria, and my mother-in-law - Toto Oliver.
Sarah sang a solo at the wedding reception.
Moses and I at the end of the celebration.
We went back to Gulu for a quiet Christmas.
The two of us were home alone, and we decided to finish Christmas day with a pork roast in our backyard.
God sent rains, which was a nice respite to a dry season.
As you can tell, we finished the year in style!!
