Learning To Number Our Days

On January 7, 2015 By Jacob LeeIn Missions

Learning to Number Our Days

“Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.”

Psalm 90:12

There’s nothing like a good bump on the head to help a person realize that “life as usual” may not always continue as usual. The fact that I (Carol) am writing this is a testament to the fact that the Lord has graciously allowed life to continue “as usual,” with the exception of our going on with it a little more circumspectly as Jacob and I think about how life could have changed drastically after my fall and head injury. I have a small residual of soreness on my head where there is still evidence that it hit the wall, and on my left elbow where I am surmising that a small piece of bone was chipped. I believe my mental faculties are intact, and, most importantly, my sense of humor! We praise God for the mundane (ordinary, but not dull!) – the everyday continuance of the privilege of serving Him here in the West Nile region of northwestern Uganda.

I so much appreciated all the prayers, words of encouragement and suggestions for alternate and safer forms of exercise to use in the future! As I have said before, I have a few residual aches and pains as reminders of God’s grace and kindness in sparing Jacob and me from big adventures of the medical kind!

We were so blessed in welcoming Paul George and having him here over the holidays. As you know, Paul was here with us the few weeks before Christmas and almost to the New Year, proving himself in ministry as well as cassava harvesting – and all the while bearing with an upper respiratory infection that was finally overcome with some antibiotics. It was a joy to have him here with us. He was generous and genuine. We saw his gifting shine in his desire to alleviate suffering and come along side people in their trials. He has a servant-heart.

We spent Christmas Day (Thursday) in Yumbe District at Yi’ba worshiping with the saints at Yi’ba Church of Uganda. Jacob preached from Luke 2: 7-21. It was special to have one of the young boys from St. Paul’s Pilgrim Church quoting the text in Aringa from memory prior to the message. After sharing the Christmas meal with the Reverend, David, and giving the “gift of sight” via handing out reading glasses, we headed back to Afoji – to RAU.

We were to spend that coming Sunday with Godfrey in Obongi, but plans were altered by my (Carol’s) little head-banging mishap (which I obviously survived by the grace of God). Paul and Sam were sent on to Obongi by themselves where Paul shared a message with the members of Obongi Town Church. We were grateful that Paul was willing to take on that task, though it is not where he feels the most gifted. He was “instant in season and out of season.”

In between all these appointments, Sam’s cassava crop needed harvesting. Paul was chomping at the bit to experience this. He surprised everyone with his energy and steadfastness as he tried to keep up with the women! Considering he was struggling with an ear and throat infection at the time, he did a wonderful job!

All this while, construction has been happening on the perimeter security wall. The builders took a break for Christmas and New Year, but a couple of them are back at it to finish what they started. The rest are due back any day now to finish the wall and start on the other project of expanding “Sam’s Tukalu” to include another room. We are hoping to add more bunk beds and power it up with solar so that it will be ready for pastors’ retreats as well as visitors from overseas.

Upcoming events for which we desire your prayers include:

~~~~~~

*Opportunity for Jacob to preach at Ambelech Church in Yumbe District on Sunday, the 18th

*Opportunities for Jacob to preach via radio, here in Moyo town at a public radio station, as well as at a local Christian station managed by a new friend, Dominic. Jacob is hoping this might become a regular happening at both stations.

*Our good friend, John Howarton, will visit RAU once again and help Jacob do the teaching at a Pastors’ Retreat for Congolese pastors during the last week of January as well as join in other ministry.

*We will have 3, possibly 4, pastors’ retreats in the next few months, including the one mentioned above

*Since the church planting effort in Gbare, Jacob is continuing to follow up with Pastor Tobious (from Aya) and Pastor Geoffrey who plans to move to this remote area to pastor the fledgling church. We will be working with Aya Baptist Church to support Pastor Geoffrey and his family as they uproot to answer this call. Please pray that the seed of the Word would grow deep there and produce fruit that will last.

Over this last year, the Lord has made a way for Sam to upgrade his medical knowledge and skills by attending University to receive a Bachelors in Nursing. This would put him in a position to oversee and run a clinic. It is a three-year program. This means having to say goodbye to him for a while. We have appreciated his service to RAU so much and he will be missed. Thankfully, he plans to come here during breaks, bringing fellow health workers with him for medical outreaches. We look forward to seeing how the Lord uses his skills in medicine in the future.

As Sam leaves, the Lord has seen fit send another young man our way – Zora. He and his family are originally from the Arua area but moved to Kampala a few years back. Zora has finished a two year program in Theology and is looking for opportunities to serve the Body of Christ. He will be with us for a number of weeks. We are enjoying getting to know him. He is showing a servant’s heart and a lot of wisdom. He is keen to seek the Lord and learn of Him. I am also enjoying giving him some pointers as he learns to play the guitar!

The young boy, Richard, who received surgery to correct bilateral club foot, will be going back to CoRSU Hospital to finish the last surgeries to his feet. Due to the tribal conflict that happened here in September, Richard had to leave the area and return to South Sudan. He has gotten behind on his schooling. There is an opportunity for him to return to school if he is sponsored. First Presbyterian Church in Kampala, where our dear friend and board member, Patrick Bukenya pastors, has a Christian school which also boards children there. For $600 per year (room,board, and tuition), Richard could receive an excellent education and have many other opportunities open up to him. Please let us know if you are interested in sponsoring him.

We have been so encouraged by the response to our pleas for donations towards buying 5,000 more ESV Global Study Bibles to put in another container. So far, we have about $10,400 – one fifth of our goal of $50,000. This is truly one of the best resources we can freely put into pastors’ and other leaders’ hands. Please consider this a priority in praying and giving. Perhaps your Sunday School classes (or other groups to which you belong) might consider making this a project. It is about $10 per Bible. When we have the full amount then we will purchase them all at once at a greatly discounted price.

More information may be found here:

https://reachingafricasunreached.org/fill-the-container-study-bibles-books-and-more/

We always love to hear from you all personally and hope you will let us know what is going on in your lives. It makes us feel connected to you, our partners in Christ, just as (we have heard) our letters make you feel connected and acquainted with us!

May the Lord bless you all this New Year! We pray this prayer of the Apostle Paul for each one of you:

^“I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His vast strength.”

Ephesians 1:17-19

Love in Christ,

Carol and Jacob (on behalf of RAU)

Violence in our Midst

On September 17, 2014September 23, 2014 By Jacob LeeIn Missions

On Monday September 15 this Protestant Church very near RAU was burned down by a mob.

We, at Reaching Africa’s Unreached, cannot thank you all enough for all your prayers and and words of encouragement! Only the Lord knows the full effect of your intercession (2 Corinthians 1:11) for this conflict and all who are involved in it! We have the added blessing of receiving Kevin Turner on Thursday the 18th. He will spend a week with us.

We have had some sad and tension filled days here in Afoji beginning on Monday, September 15th. What was meant to be a peaceful protest march on Monday morning, a response to an earlier incident which happened across the border in South Sudan, turned violent. The March proceeded from Moyo and went to the Afoji border post which is down the road a couple of kilometers from us. On the march back to town, homes (tukalus), businesses and a grass thatched Anglican (Church of Uganda – COU) church (within walking distance of us) were burned down. [Because of this we pushed back to a later date the pastor’s retreat we were going to have here this week. We had 6 pastors from D.R. Congo and 14 pastors from Koboko and Maracha scheduled to be with us.] No harm was done here at RAU, but one of our faithful workers and friends, Zakeo, who is a native Ma’di, had two of the places he rents out in the Afoji market burned down.

On Tuesday the tension increased. Throughout the day Kukus fled to South Sudan with whatever they could carry. In Moyo town there were riots, tear gas, and bullets. An attempt to burn the police station was, thankfully, foiled. Ugandan soldiers/police and SPLA (South Sudan) forces mobilized head to head on the border.The SPLA’s purpose was, allegedly, to cross over the border to “help bring their people (Kukus) safely back” into South Sudan. Throughout the day, many Ugandan soldiers passed our way to the border. By the end of the day we saw them heading back towards Moyo town to their barracks. We are very grateful that calm minds prevailed…PTL! The police and army forces did well in helping to keep the violence to a minimum.

I had a good talk earlier on this Wednesday morning with one of the men (military police) who was on the compound all night. He and his coworker faithfully watch over us and the compound each night and we had three of them with us on Tuesday afternoon as a precaution. The police officer reported that the stand off at the border had calmed down between Ugandan soldiers/police and SPLA (South Sudan) forces. Keep praying that the lull in activity is a sign of improvement and not just a regrouping.

Though it was quiet here at RAU, during the night, some more homes were burned down in Moyo and one person died in a struggle. Currently, in our neighboring villages, there are very few people left. Ma’dis have gone to stay in Moyo (or other places further away from the wrangle) fearing that the SPLA may cross the border and seek revenge; the Kukus have left for South Sudan fearing reprisals from the Ma’dis. This morning truckloads of people and their belongings are passing by from Moyo to South Sudan. The flow past RAU is incessant. Yesterday, most of the people, including children, were just taking what they could carry. Today, trucks have been coming from South Sudan in convoy fashion to pick up people and belongings that were too big or numerous to carry.

Kukus in front of RAU heading for South Sudan

Please focus your prayers on God bringing right thinking and right hearts in the two tribes, the Ma’di (Ugandan) and Kuku (South Sudanese). They have interacted for many years but tribalism is deeply rooted in their hearts and the hurts and wrongs on both sides are not easily forgotten….only the Lord can heal their hearts! “The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart” (H. Krabbendam)! Please keep praying!

Tensions are still very high. Leaders from both sides are meeting. This Ugandan TV report gives some background to the conflict:

We would like to be a part of helping the Afoji Church of Uganda congregation rebuild it’s burned down church. Helping in this time of need is a great evidence of Christ’s love for them and an encouragement that they are not standing alone. Please pray for these believers and all who are suffering because of this conflict. If you specifically want to help this church please make a notation of it on your gift.

Thank you!

On September 11, 2014September 12, 2014 By Jacob LeeIn Discipleship, Evangelism, Mercy Ministries, Missions

As mentioned in Carol’s last post, Preston and Laurel Sink spent two weeks of July with us in ministry. They were a real joy to us and many others. They boosted Carol’s and my spirits. They made a short video of their trip for their Church, Seagrove Baptist Church from Florida, highlighting some of the things they did. They graciously gave us permission to post it here on the RAU blog. I think you will enjoy it!

A big thank you to all who have been praying for Pastor Godfrey and the situation I alerted many of you about in a private email. Because of the situation I cannot give you details but know things are looking better. Please continue in your prayers! Thank you very much!

We had a great day in Obongi with seven young adults from 1st Presbyterian Church in Kampala on September 8th. I have had the blessing of knowing most them for a number of years, one of whom I met on my first trip to Africa in 2006. They were a great blessing to the 7 month old Obongi Town Church led by Pastor Godfrey. They brought clothes to give out and each of them shared a word of encouragement. I had the privilege of preaching and taught from The Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector. Our plan was to go tukalu to tukalu for evangelism after lunch but the heavy rains stopped us. Nevertheless, the Lord brought two people to us who were saved. One came because he was told in the town that this “group” could help him. He came in the middle of my message and afterwards approached us, wanting to know Christ. The other was a teenage girl who stopped by and with whom one of our youth spent a good hour talking; in the end she, too, was giving her life to the King of kings! When God is moving in a place no one can stop Him! On the way back we gained three more passengers who needed rides to Moyo, bringing the total in the Land Cruiser to 13. With all the rain we had to use the 4 wheel drive several times.

On Tuesday, the 9th, we had a beautiful day sharing Christ on Metu Mountain in several villages. The seven youth from Kampala, Sam, Godfrey, members of Aya Baptist Church, and I branched out in teams from Aya Baptist Church which is pastored by Tobius. The Lord opened the hearts of 13 people to confess Christ and many others heard the gospel message. I had the opportunity to share the gospel in a school and later had the joy of seeing a very old man place his trust in Christ. We all returned to Aya Baptist to report, praise and eat! The camera was with me so I regrettably did not get any photos of the youth as they shared the good news of Jesus. Clothing was also given out to Aya Baptist members.We left, after some beautiful fellowship, determined to go at a later date to the other villages in the area without one church! There are numerous villages back in the hills. By God’s grace we must go to them with the gospel! What joy to work with young people and a church like Aya Baptist who love Jesus and put feet to that love. Preparations are continuing for the drilling of a well in Aya. It would serve Aya and surrounding villages. There are no bore holes in these hills.

This older man professed Christ after sharing the gospel with him.

I enjoyed sharing the gospel at this school. It brought back good memories of my times at Lifegate Christian School and Nixon-Smiley High School. Theere is open access to preaching the gospel in both government and private schools! — I enjoyed sharing the gospel at this school.

On Wednesday the 10th, I, along with 15 others (all much younger than me,) spent much of the day in Yumbe in one-on-one witnessing. We broke up into 5 teams and fanned out throughout Yumbe town. We all had very engaging and spirited conversations in this District which is tagged by locals at around 95% Muslim. The Lord was faithful and opened the hearts (compare Acts 16:14) of eight who have joined the family of faith. Thank you to everyone who faithfully intercedes and supports our work!

Getting ready to head into Yumbe town with the gospel. Can you tell we have a lot fun with each other?

On the 11th we all went to the Moyo prison. The youth shared and sang and faithfully challenged the inmates to follow Christ. They also brought sugar, soap, and clothes for them, displaying Jesus’ love in a very tangible way. We were not allowed to take any pictures. The 12th will be spent in one on one witnessing here in Moyo District and then on the 13th they will all head back to Kampala. Each them of Jesus and I am confident they will be back with more of their fellow youth next time. When youth are challenged in the proper way I have found that they meet and exceed the challenge before them. This mission trip was not easy for them as they were stretched; the stretching was good for them and all of us at RAU!

From the 16th to the 19th we have pastors here for a teaching retreat from Koboko, Maracha, and D.R. Congo. Please be in prayer for this time of teaching and mutual encouragement in the faith. We now have some good contacts in these areas which help facilitate the bringing of these men here. The backbone of our calling are these retreats. With your prayers and support we are able to bring these men here, feed and house them, give them an ESV Global Study Bible and other solid, biblical literature, and teach on the fundamentals of the faith. This is our 9th pastor/church leaders retreat and we have hosted over 200 guests.Our good friend Kevin Turner with SWI will be with us from the 18th to the 25th. He will be able to teach at the last part of the retreat and will be a grand blessing to us and all he comes into contact with. I confidently say that because of his deep and abiding love for Jesus!

Please be in prayer for Africa as much of it is increasingly in the bull’s eye of Ebola. As you know, Ebola is rampant in West Africa. In the past, it has also been here in East Africa and in our immediate area. Please pray that its spread will stop and lives are saved. The following map gives the potential spread of it if it is not stopped. May the Sovereign God of the universe stop it in its path!

We head back to the sweet USA on October 2. It will be ten months since we have been back. We look forward to meeting the newest grandchild, number four, who is due just as we return. Both Carol and I are also looking forward to spending time with family, friends, and dear supporters! Most of our time will be in Texas; however, we will also be in Iowa for my parents 60th wedding anniversary celebration and in Tennessee with our middle son, Josiah.

With Love and Appreciation,

Work of Faith, Labor of Love, Endurance of Hope (By Carol)

On August 25, 2014 By Jacob LeeIn Building Projects, Discipleship, Missions

“So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.“

Galatians 6:9

Jacob is in the middle of a very busy season. While he has been weary – physically – he has not grown weary in working to accomplish the tasks to which the Lord has called him. I am amazed that he rarely loses sight of the goal of that upward call in Christ. I have never seen someone as focused and onward-pressing as he is, not for the sake of working hard, but for the joy of reaching a worthy goal: the strengthening of the local churches through discipleship, the provision of rich resources and encouragement in the faith. His diligence reminds me of the encouragement of Paul to the Thessalonians: “because we recall in the presence of our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thess. 1:3

July was packed full of ministry in the District of Yumbe with the added joy of hosting Preston and Laurel Sink. Jacob preached every Sunday. In the first two weeks of August he held back-to-back Pastor Retreats. The third week of August was jam-packed with travel to and from and shopping in Kampala (which is a feat in itself). Here is an excerpt from his Facebook post highlighting his activities in Kampala:

“Here are a few of the things which were accomplished: Successful eye appointment 8 year Anzoa who had corrective eye surgery for congenital cataracts; used disk harrow bought, broken down and sent to RAU on the bus (it is now hooked to the tractor at RAU); roof rack modified for the Land Cruiser (L.C.) to better suit open air preaching in markets. Now speakers can be placed on the roof rack at the same time we are preaching from it; new tires were put on the L.C. because of tires placed in the container from a Texas brother, front end work, new battery,and a winch for the front of the L.C. The last three items were possible because of the generosity of Seagrove Baptist Church (Preston and Laurel’s sending church); bags of rice,sugar,cooking gas etc. were purchased.”

Jacob has experienced the full stress of the driving. Now, he is back home and overseeing 4 different work crews (several agricultural ventures, campus-improvement projects and the ever present mechanical repairs.)

In these coming two weeks he hopes to make it a priority to study and prepare for upcoming retreats and outreaches. Please pray that the dust of urgent activity settles and that grace and steadfastness enable this priority to become reality.

If I didn’t know Jacob’s heart, witness his joy and hear his often repeated words, “this is why we are here,” I might have reason for concern – this might just be the diary of a workaholic mad man. Instead, I have increasing admiration for a man who sees “that Day” approaching and who is doing his utmost to live in the light of “that Day.” (Hebrews 10:25)

Here are some pictorial highlights of the past few weeks (for Jacob) …

…and, on the lighter side…for me (Carol). I am thrilled to be able to capture and share snapshots of the beauty of God’s creation in Uganda, specifically, the West Nile region. Also, while Jacob was away, I took the opportunity to finish some baby blankets, one for our newest grandchild and the other for the soon-to-be-born child of a local friend.

Sunrise – one of my favorite views from our home

Jacob and I want to thank each of you who are interested in what RAU is doing, who pray for us, give toward the work so that we all love “not in word or tongue, but in action and in truth.” (1 John 3:18)

In just over one month Jacob and I will be back in the States to enjoy some happily anticipated reunions with family and friends. It will be a much needed time of refreshment and renewing, especially for Jacob. We hope to see many of you while we are there.

Here are some of the items on our ministry wish-list:

***80,000 tracts printed in Aringa, Ma’di and English – $5,ooo (these tracts have been a very effective way of sharing – people are eager to receive and read them and they get passed around)

***Copy machine for Pastors’ Retreats (resource packets for each pastor) – $1,000

***Future Pastors’ Retreats and Evangelism/teaching outreaches

***Solar powered submersible well pump – it would save on fuel costs of running the generator to pump water – $5,000

***Build a branch Hall of Tyrannus and meeting place for Obongi Church plant (plot has been purchased in Obongi through a donation from a Texas couple); there are no church structures in this town of 20,000. We received much opposition from a prominent Muslim official. Following proper channels we pushed back hard and he has relented, at least for the time being.

***Vehicle to use while we are visiting Stateside in October and part of November.
