We have MUCH to be thankful for and in awe of as we look back at all that the LORD did through us in 2013. We wanted to share some of these things with you so that we can worship Him together! “Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.” Psalm 29:2
These last 2 weeks we have been grieving the loss of a co-worker, former pastor, and more importantly friend. A loss that took us by surprise at one of the hardest times of year. We have also been going to Christmas parties and family gatherings. Each filled with loved ones, food and gifts.
Will you partner with us to be Christ to the Kibuku community? We are going to help Ebenezer provide a worship service and dinner for their community. Here is the plan… George and Sylvia will begin inviting the Kibuku community to this special Christmas church service and FREE lunch.
Servant Leadership is a phrase that may be used inaccurately in Western culture today. It is often used to describe individuals that aren’t worthy of the title of Servant Leader like Jesus. But today I want to share a story with you about my friend, George.
The trip last week was not only meaningful for Hope Grafted In, but for me personally it was BIG. It had been 2 years since that first trip to Uganda and Kenya changed everything for me. This trip was the first time that I was able to visit 2 of our partner ministries in person. After working with them for many months, being with them was so meaningful. Recognizing the real relationship that we have together and how God has ordained our partnerships helped to refocus me both personally and in ministry.
WOW! That’s really all that comes to mind every time I stop and think about our trip. No amount of effort on our part could have ever orchestrated the experience that we had. We arranged for a driver, made guesthouse reservations, planned our meals, and coordinated with ministries. And even though those details went incredibly smooth, they seem so insignificant compared to everything else.
We are heading to Kenya! We would love to have you join us in visiting Haven of Hope. General Trip Purpose: Our main purpose behind the trip is to connect sponsors with their children. To provide an opportunity for them to deepen their relationship with the child and the home they live in and to further their knowledge and awareness so they can continue to speak up on their behalf.

When ministries we partner with take BIG steps of faith, we get so excited! Partly because watching God move in our friends is super fun, and partly because getting the chance to be in on God-things and partner with these friends in Christ is a COMPLETE honor. YOU can be a part of feeling that pride and honor too!
We are a short 6 weeks away from our first trip as a ministry! It is a very exciting time of finalizing details and preparing our team. We will be serving at 4 ministries when we go. Our two partners, Sangaalo Babies and Ebenezer Chidren’s Ministry will be where we spend a majority of our time.
