Labourers for the Harvest

Three weeks ago I joined Chris, one of our VOICE workers, for a meeting at KEST (Kampala Evangelical School of Theology). Our meeting turned out to be a bit different than we had thought and in some ways the actual meeting was not directly helpful to us.

BUT…while doing some small group work, we got to know new acquaintances and it doesn’t take long to “spot” others who may be “kindred spirits.” Two such people especially stood out to us and this past week, I met with each of them and enjoyed the opportunity to dialog further. Both have a big heart for children and youth and one especially has a potential large network.

Earlier today I met with the second one, Judith, for the third time! She’s a librarian and children’s worker who is in between jobs right now. As we chatted, Judith expressed her desire to apply as a Scripture Union volunteer for VOICE work. The plan is to do a trial period of working with VOICE to the end of January, 2017. Praise God for Judith’s availability and burden to make her life/weeks/months count. She has agreed to spearhead the mobilization/promotion for the January 14, 2017, Kampala Training featuring the Honesty Module, as well as possibly assist in other trainings.

Thanks for praying with us for laborers for the white-unto-harvest-fields here in the Ugandan schools...and please keep praying! God, the Lord of the Harvest, has unpredictable ways to connect us to those He’s chosen!
