Cast Your Bread On The Waters

“Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again”.  Ecclesiastes 11:1

It began a couple of months ago with a request from KBC (Kampala Baptist) for adults to mentor university women associated with KBC.  Since the church is walking distance from the largest university in Uganda, students make up a significant part of the congregation and KBC has a great heart to reach and nurture youth.  There never seem to be enough African adults to help with the huge numbers of children and youth, so Ruth and I agreed to build relationships and encourage two young women (being university students, English is not as much of a barrier).  Ruth was assigned Flavia.

After helping her to attend a Youth Camp, we invited her to our home a couple of times and introduced her to the game, Skipbo which she absolutely loved.  One day a couple of weeks ago after a game of Skipbo (also with our friend Beth), she and Ruth began to talk about the ministry that we are involved in here. As Ruth showed Flavia the Values Curriculum, she showed special interest in the Class Activity Sheets.  You guessed it, Flavia volunteered to draft the work sheets.  She has submitted these and we are pleased with what we see.   

Yesterday Flavia texted Ruth asking if we had more work for her to do.  Ruth has gladly e-mailed her the Secondary Lessons for Flavia to come up with the interactive activities and puzzles that correlate with the Truth Lessons.  As we reached out to bless Flavia, she has proved an answer to prayer in helping us the huge task of developing the Activity Class Sheets.  Praise God!
