Northern Uganda 2009



Dear Friends,
We feel compelled to send to you these images which we have received very recently from our AAI Pastors in Uganda. As many of you know our Pastors regularly travel up North and of recent weeks and months have been digging a well. Recently there was a hold up because of a rock which was in the way of the then 50 foot deep well, it was blocking the way and most of the men working on the well had left. The engineer alone was there when Pr D arrived. They the set out to find more workers and the engineer knew of a man in a village some distance away.
They travelled there only to find families in that village were suffering from drought, hunger, sickness and sores. One family were sitting, five children not in school, all with sores, weak, hopeless and alone without help. Ps D ministered to them, provided some food stuffs and some finance to get the children in to school again. The mother recommitted her life to the Lord and the Father, who had been drinking local brew was invited to go work with them on the well!!
They also went to a nearby IDP, (Internally Displaced Persons camp) to visit health Centres as we are trying to ascertain what is happening there, (up North) since we found out the terrible state of the Main Referral Hospital in the capital City of Kampala. The situation was even worse in the IDP camp health centres. Please read Ps D's report and do whatever the Lord puts on your hearts. We feel we must respond to this door of opportunity God has give to us. The need is great but look what God did with a few loaves and fishes!!! Please pray that the suffering in Northern Uganda may receive help through the power of the Gospel and the response of God's Kingdom people.

God Bless you all. John & Jean Leak.
