In less than 2 weeks, all nine of us Fulks will step onto an airplane
on our way back to Uganda. The 18th of September will mark the end of
our time here in the states. It has been very healing and refreshing for
us all however we are ready to return. Your prayers have been a
constant encouragement to us during our time here. As we struggle to fit
our lives into 18 pieces of luggage we are reminded that all these
things are nothing compared to our heavenly home and we look forward to
building up a kingdom in Uganda were moths and rust can not destroy
(Matt. 6:19-21). In many ways, things here in America are finished for
us. We are saying "bye for now" to friends and family, though "for now"
will be 3-4 years for many of you. That is unless you would come to
Uganda for your vacation or short-term mission trip while we are there.
Our financial support has been increasing, but we still need monthly
commitments to meet our budgeted needs in Uganda. We are also asking
that you would commit to praying for a specific individual of our family
and of course for the Karamojong. If you could support us in both or
either of these ways, please visit our website at
http://followingjesustouganda.com/PartneringWithUs.html
to fill out your information and make your commitment known to us.
Financial and prayer donations of any quantity really do aid us in our
work, so please don't think any kind of commitment is insignificant.
It is exciting for us to be sharing in this ministry with you. We are
more aware this time than every before how much you are a part of our
lives. Please pray with us and for us as we travel for 2 days to get
there and settle in with the family. We will get communication with you
back up and running when we can and will write our next newsletter from
the great continent of Africa.
God bless you all richly,
Cody
I also wanted to get the word out about these great journals and the women behind them!!
Our friends, the Williams, that are serving in Kacheri, among the Karamojong have an amazing project to help extremely vulnerable women. The women make homemade paper, and then journals. This project has provided 8 women incomes, and the best part is that Kristi has been discipling them with some great fruit. You should check out their website (It is pretty awesome! http://www.theakiruproject.com) and then buy a journal on esty! I have seen these up close and personal and have even seen them in the making. (Even helped myself once) They are beautifully made and would make a wonderful present for any occasion.
