Thanks & Praise from Dentist in Mawanga

Praise be to God [for ROWAN],
I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for ever existing in your life and the way he uses you.
Through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ i would like to send my sincere appreciation towards the assistance you sent to me through Pastor Paul.

I bought the Dental tools and am glad that I have started working today.
I ended up with three patients. I pray that God will open a way for my salary.
Due to exitment I feel now I don't know the way I can express my sincere appreciation to you mum but above all I pray that God may bless you abundantly
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you [ROWAN] for reaching me in time of need.

1st Xmas at ROWAN office in Uganda

The Christmas Party was a great event, the first one at the newly built ROWAN office in Mawanga, Uganda. Pastor Paul Nyende, with the help of Eddy Batwaula (our sponsored law student who was home during his school break), was able to give a great feast and gifts of foods were distributed to the widows, widowers and orphans. Jesus has loved his people through many sacrificial gifts. Here is a note of thanks, from Pastor Paul.

Hello friends, Jambo.

Again thank you so much for your support.
From your brother, Pastor Paul.

Let's Finish the R.O.W.A.N. Office!

A team of 19 from Acton Faith Bible Church ventured out to Mawanga, Uganda July 10-22nd. By the end of the week they completed the first few stages in building an office for the R.O.W.A.N. ministry. The functions of this office include:

1. Hold prayer meetings, Bible studies, and literacy programs
2. Sell goods/products for income
3. Keep records of each individual member
4. Keep supplies for gardening, sports, education, etc.
5. Gives the orphans and widows a presence in the community

So far we have built the walls, roof, installed doors and windows. But we still have to install:

hard core, concrete, lake sand, plastering sand, cement, remaining bricks, labor, paints, transport and glass

If we don't finish this building project soon, the work that has been accomplished will go to waste as the rats, insects and weather will destroy it.

Together, we must raise $2,000 to complete it- let's do this!
