Ps Wilson with the Solich Family
I met with Ps Wilson from Uganda again tonight. It was a lovely time of sharing stories and hearing what God is up to in Uganda.
During our discussions, I made the decision to definitely go to Uganda in November and I believe Andrew will be coming with me as well. We have much to offer and much to learn, so I believe the exchange of cultures will be significant and beneficial.
We talked about what Pastor Wilson is doing in Uganda with the women and the children. He has a school of 43 children, mostly orphans or from poor families. He explained the culture there and what we could expect from people. We also talked about the micro business he has set up with the women, teaching them how to sew so that they can make money for their families.
As he spoke of the women and the sewing business, I immediately felt that I need to take sewing machines with me. Many of the machines used are the old foot pedal operated machines. They reminded me of my grandmother who hated her new electric machine in comparison. I couldn’t help wondering what a few new machines could do for families, as the old saying goes, “Give a man a fish and he will be back tomorrow for another but teach a man how to fish and he will have fish for life.”
I am excited that God would choose me for this mission. I believe that we all have a purpose in life and mine has always been to serve God and humanity through the giftings that he has given me. I cannot wait to work with the singers and musicians. That will be my very great pleasure as I already know that these people can sing!
This will be my Woman of Spirit Personal Challenge Quest for 2009 through Women Can International Inc. I’m so excited as when I created the program for Women Can International Inc it was exactly with this in mind!
This video broke my heart and has fueled my passion to give of my talents to help the children and the mothers of Uganda:
