Bookers Without Borders

Bookers Without Borders is the website, page and blog that exists to keep our friends and family updated on 1) our preparations to become full-time missionaries to Jinja, Uganda beginning in January of 2017 2) the progress on The Amazima School where we will be serving as house parents and 3) our continuing efforts to provide clean, accessible drinking water in villages that are still wit

hout that vital resource. We have been drawn to the Ugandan people since Joe's first trip there on a short-term mission trip in 2011; since that time we have been to Uganda together three times. In October of 2014 we felt that God was calling us, along with our then 13-year-old daughter, Maggie Lynn, to relocate to Jinja as full-time missionaries. At the same time, Oasis Community, where Joe serves as an elder, committed to a well ministry, which has already funded five water projects for villages in the central region of Uganda. The people of Oasis, while small in number, are big on serving and giving and have fully embraced the truth of James 1:27, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." In January we were contacted by Amazima Ministries and asked if we would be interested in applying to become house parents at The Amazima School, scheduled to open in January of 2017. We talked and prayed about the opportunity and felt God clearly leading us down that path. After several interviews, months of praying and seeking God, waiting to see which doors He would open and which He would close, in April we were invited to partner with Amazima Ministries and will be moving to Jinja January 6, 2017.

Before students arrive, our team is preparing classrooms, organizing supplies, and praying over every desk and dorm. Everything we do, we do with hearts ready to serve, and we trust God to faithfully meet us in the details.

As we step into our tenth year serving in the Pearl of Africa—Uganda 🇺🇬, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.

The past nine years have been an incredible journey of serving the Lord here. We’ve seen His faithfulness in countless ways, and it has been a true joy and privilege to walk in the calling He placed on our lives in this nation.

We want to say thank you to every one of our financial supporters and prayer warriors. We truly could not do what God has called us to do without you. Your generosity, encouragement, and faithful prayers have carried us through these nine years, and we are deeply grateful.

As we begin this next season, we humbly ask for your continued prayers for good health, wisdom, and new opportunities to know Him and make Him known.

Thank you for standing with us, believing with us, and partnering in what God is doing here. To Him be all the glory 🙏

What an incredible weekend! It was truly a time of reflection and renewal—sharing stories of hope, redemption, and dignity restored, and connecting with our amazing nationwide ministry partners who feel more like family than anything. It was so powerful, and it was such a blessing to join with our stateside Amazima family in worshipping our Lord together. I am in awe of the work God allows us to be a part of. Grateful for this unforgettable week and excited for what’s to come! Amazima Ministries Founders Weekend conference; Scottsdale, AZ.
