A picture worth a thousand words...

ROSEMARY BEFORE GFR

ROSEMARY THREE MONTHS AFTER GFR

I just wanted to share this wonderful testimony of what a difference sponsorship makes.  

Thanks David Sussler and Tina Martini!  You are transforming the world one family at a time!

Water from the sky!

Tonight my two youngest children (Mike 12 and Hope 10) are playing in the falling snow.  It is a beautiful night to do it.  It is not too cold and the snow is wet enough to make snow balls.  I enjoy hearing them laughing through the window pane.  Snow is an amazing sight.

I had an unexpected thought about it.  This is water from heaven!  What if it snowed in Uganda? Then no women or children would have to fetch it from miles away in a muddy pond!  

That would be a miracle... cold water from the sky.  

Speaking of water, GFR has completed the first community project in Uganda.  It is a water well! I am not surprised it was our first.  Clean water is the first essential thing every person needs to live.  I love it when we can help in this way!  In the town of Kamwenge there are near a thousand living close-by.  But there are thousands that will come for miles to pump at this well too.  

Thanks to those of you who privately funded this water well.  These families in Africa have a great Christmas gift, one they will never forget!
