August 10,2013 is a day of remembrance. Thirteen years ago today, on August 10, 2013, we dedicated our first structure on the Reaching Africa’s Unreached (RAU) campus. The NGO purchased the original 17-acre land, which has now grown to 25 acres, in January 2011, and building work began soon after. At the dedication celebration, many local church leaders, Christians, and politicians joined us, including Moyo’s Member of Parliament. As you know, Carol and I moved here long term on July 13, 2013. My first ministry trip to Uganda was in August 2006, and the trip to where RAU is now was in March 2007. That is when the vision and mission for RAU was given, encompassed in 2 Timothy 2:2 and Acts 19:10: teaching faithful ones who will teach faithful ones the necessary first-tier truths of Christianity. Without biblically sound pastors/shepherds churches will not be healthy and self producing.

We praise the LORD for how HE has led, guided, and touched the many churches, individuals, and families who have stood with us through their prayers and sacrificial giving. We know that we are standing together and upon the shoulders of those who have inspired and taught us. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! It is our desire and prayer to continue to be faithful stewards and press on proclaiming the glorious good news of the gospel pointing people to King Jesus until the day He takes us to our permanent home with him in heaven. Jesus IS building his church, and the gates of hell will not stop Him!​​​
Below is a link to a blog post from August 10, 2013 with pictures and videos of the celebration day. We were quite a bit heavier back then and had fewer gray hairs: https://reachingafricasunreached.org/2013/08/11/dedication-of-the-rau-guesthousehall-of-tyrannus-and-17-acres/

Below is a link to blog post with pictures and videos detailing RAU’s history from 2011 forward. Physical building continues on campus to this day, alongside, we pray, the right kind of spiritual building (1 Corinthians 3:12-15). We continue to envision a Yumbe On the Ground Branch Campus of RAU:

Please keep praying for Carol and me as we push forward. I am nearing 71, and Carol isn’t far behind me. We continue to pray for God to bring more missionaries to join us and  local churches in proclaiming the gospel of grace combined with being zealous for deeds of mercy. You can check out the Uganda opportunities on the ABWE site, where we have five spots open for long-term missionaries. We’re in good communication with ABWE about ministry teams and local church teaching teams visiting us. We are also grateful for the church teams which come our way.

Thank you for standing with us, for taking an interest in, and for partnering with us in all we seek to do!

“Reaching Africa’s Unreached” was placed on our hearts in 2007. We know we are standing on the shoulders of many who have gone before us! Carol and I are very grateful for your prayers, words of encouragement, and support. 

We ask for your continued prayers and financial support!

“There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after you”

 Missionary Adoniram Judson (1788-1850)

Love and blessings from both of us!
