Pastor Patrick was Kathy's interpreter in the eye clinic for all four of our medical mission trips to Uganda. About a year and a half ago he sensed God's call to the ministry and was commissioned by his home church, Dove Church in Wakiso (where all the medical clinics have been conducted) to start a work in Namayumba. He is a very humble and personable man and so far has led the church to 60 members.
He and his wife, Annette, have chosen to continue to live in Wakiso, mainly due to the availability of a good school for their four children. It has been good that they haven't had to relocate, however transportation is a problem. Patrick has an income of $100 a month (not bad, I'm told, for a remote area) plus odd jobs he is able to pickup along the way.
He is spending $6.00 to $9.00 a week on a motorcycle taxi to get to and from his church field. It is about 45 minutes away from his home and he is going there two or three times a week. That is a big percentage of his income. We have talked to several people here who have suggested the best long-term solution is for him to have a motorcycle to ride to and from his church field. We are told a good, new motorcycle can be purchased $1200-1300. We have already started a motorcycle fund and have collected $500.
Please take a minute to seek God's leadership as to how much you should contribute toward this worthy cause. We have no way of knowing who and how many may come to Christ as a result of Patrick being able to afford to spend more time on the church field.
If you would like to contribute, you can give the money to our daughter Frances or mail it to our home, 1420 Adams Road, Strawberry Plains, TN 37871. She will deposit it to our account and we will then pull it out of the ATM here on the other side of the world....amazing. Please let us know what you are sending and make sure we have your email address so we can keep you posted on the progress.
If you have any questions, email me or comment on this post and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thank you very much for your support of this very worthy cause,
