This is what JOY looks like! Us, entering the School of Hope compound in Namagera, Uganda this past spring.

It's really quite simple, this communing with Jesus. It is simply about making room in your day for the God who is everything. Who loves you more than life itself.

I used to think life consisted of my To Do list. Now I realize it has to do with what I do in the margins of my day. Do I spend those margins listening to the Holy Spirit? Do I spend them in His Word? Do I soak in His presence and worship Him? Or do I spend them worried, anxious, fearful?

Be still, dear friends. KNOW He is God. And all these things will be added unto you.

What God can do through one broken heart...

It started with a baby. As all good things do. But this baby was dying. She was just a puff of air in her mother's arms and when we met her, we thought she was a newborn. In truth? She was 18 months old. One and a half years old, wrapped up in a blanket in her mother's arms. She'd been fed weak tea since she was born because her mama had nothing else to give. "Don't cry," this mama told us. "God is still alive."

And this is the faith that sustains us, compels us, keeps us going, month after month - fasting and praying and believing for mothers all around the world who have nothing but weak tea to feed their children.

Won't you believe with us, friends?

Here's a sneak peek into one of our classrooms in Burundi (visited by Lulu's Emily T. Wierenga this spring) where our precious mamas are learning how to make soap!!!

Today we met over Zoom to discuss problems that have arisen. With Burundi being the #1 poorest country in the world, it doesn't have easy access to natural resources, like the oil necessary to complete the soap-making process! It is so incredibly challenging for these women to care for their children and yet, they do it with great joy.

Please pray they can find a solution for the lack of oil, sell their soap and support their families...
