Friday Nights’ Church Service
The Friday after I arrived in Uganda, the Friday before Christmas, I attended a church gathering. Over 10,000 people were in attendance! Praise Him! The service ended up lasting from 7pm to 6am!
When I walked in, I unintentionally interrupted the services. Members of the choir stopped and ran down to greet me. People from all around gathered to give hugs and hellos. I would have to say that even though I have experienced so many amazing things while at Christian Life Church, this moment will remain in my mind as one of the most memorable for me. In an odd way, this moment made me feel more humbled than ever!
It was a night (and morning) of intense worship and celebration. We had a top national gospel artist in house to make the evening strong and powerful. I talked, preached, shared stories, and prayed for people. We prayed and prayed and prayed! I preached and preached and preached. I could really see what I was missing while away. How powerful it was to see thousands of people worshipping and praying in a house of God. If I had to count the hugs, I would have to say that I got at least 2009 hugs for the year 2009, and I can only imagine what will happen in 2010! I was overwhelmed by god’s love and what He’s doing in our church. I was humbled and reminded of what God is doing on the ground and how to strengthen Him and move forward!
Tuesday Night w/ the Evangelism Team
Tuesday night, I met with a group of energetic evangelism team members and church planters. I expressed how proud I was to see how much they had done in my absence and my confidence in their capability to start so many new works. We set forth a continued plan of soul searching. We are invigorated and ready to turn so many more hearts to God.
Work with TOP Radio
I have spent quite a few hours this trip strengthening mass communication efforts via our radio station, TOP Radio. We are working for better reach and more conversion. I would love to invite some of our missions team to help this aspect of our ministry while in Uganda. Any takers?
Wednesday Night Service
I am just flabbergasted at how many new and interesting people I have met while here. Tonight was no different. I taught evening classes, spoke at the services, and taught some more.
I will write more about the Christmas celebrations when I get time. I have to prepare for the New Years Eve Celebration!! I am so excited for this!! HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! I LOOK FORWARD TO PRAYING FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!

Uganda Update #2 – Meeting with the CL staff
After getting in and taking a little while to recoop, Eve and I got together with the Christian Life staff at our house in Uganda. It was an event of celebratory moods and a very good dinner! We spent the hours sharing stories and the staff brought me up to speed. It was a refreshing time of fellowship, complete with fun and excitement. Uganda is such a unique place in terms of the people there and the attitudes they share.
Please remember that we will be having a huge New Years Eve Celebration and prayer. Please send in your prayer requests as soon as you can so I can add them to my list. Estimated attendance is in the tens of thousands! What a wonderful event to get that many desperate intercessors praying at one time!! Praise Him!

Uganda Update #1 - Off the Plane
Hello All!
I’m sure you are all waiting for updates from my time so far in Uganda. I haven’t had much time to write it all out because from the time I landed, it has been “go – go – go!”
When I got to the airport, I was overcome by people! There was media, supporters, everyone and their dog there! I received a favor that I didn’t deserve… I was taken to the President’s VIP Lounge right after I got off the plane. This kept me from having to wait in line and from being attached by all of the people at the airport!! I was so thankful of this because, as you can imagine, I was exhausted from the flight to begin with!
I will definitely write more later when I get the chance. I have so much more to tell! God bless you all, and HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I’m humbled!
I have tripped upon two very powerful notes written to me and about me that remind me of how powerful God is and how blessed I am that he choses to speak through me.
The first one was a note I received in the mail. Read below for the content:
…
Pastor Senyonga,
Although I’ve forgotten your first name, I’ll never forget when you came to my church, Bellvue Foursquare (1995?) in Bellvue Washington and spoke for an extended week. The Holy Spirit was present and many gave their hearts to the Lord. One of them was by brother-in-law, Tommy Shobert. He frequently reminds me that your teachings “saved” him. You also saved their marriage. Praise God for your work for our Lord and His children.
…
I am so flattered and humbled that God can use me as a vessel for His word!
Another one is a blog that I stumbled upon. Please take a read. This individual is inspiring to me and a very good writer at that! Take a peeksy: http://mchavs.wordpress.com/tag/jackson-senyonga/
Thank you so much for all of you that support me and support Him. I pray that each of you will have a merry Christmas!

Back to Uganda for Christmas!
I am excited to be going back to Uganda for Christmas! I will be staying through the beginning of the year, too, to make sure things are going well for all of the parts of Christian Life Ministries and Christian Life Church. I will be working on Christian Life Church vision, media ministry, the continuation of raising leaders, evangelism, church planting, our new vocational campus, etc. I will have a lot to do in my short time there. Please pray that all goes well in my travels.

Oh baby!
I found this article today, and thought it was… interesting. In Uganda, high schoolers just took their exit exams. Last Monday, a girl went into labor during exams. She birthed the baby, then returned to finish her exam. Talk about dedication, and I don’t quite know if that is a good example or a bad one… Then, Tuesday, it happened again at a different school during exams. Don’t you kind of wonder if the stress from the exams induced labor?? How strange!
Just thought you might find this interesting.

New Toll Road to Reduce Traffic in Kampala
I don’t usually get excited about roads, but Kampala is so trafficky. The city was designed for less than 100,000 people, but now it is populated by well over that. So, needless to say, there are too many cars in streets that aren’t meant to hold that many cars. There is plans for a toll road to connect the airport and Kampala which will help tremendously because that road gets very congested.

Sweet Potatoes to the Rescue
"The International Sweet Potato Centre has launched a $21.25 million research project in Uganda that will develop nutritionally enhanced sweet potatoes, in a project to reduce health problems related to vitamin A deficiency and improve food security in sub-Saharan Africa."
I am thankful for this work, as it can help meet the basic needs for the people of Uganda. I do laugh a little however. I didn't know that there was an International Sweet Potato Center... one may laugh at such an organization at first glance, but in reality this organization could save many lives in Africa. Thank you God for sweet potatoes! Who knew that a sweet potato was a part of his master plan! :)
God bless everyone!

Ugandans facing extreme hunger to decrease
"The US-funded Famine Early Warning System Network (Fewsnet) has predicted that the number of Ugandans facing extreme hunger will fall over the next six months, from 2.11 million to 1.38 million."
Praise God! So many people have suffered from hunger, a need that is hard to imagine if you have never experienced it. I pray that Uganda turns their eyes to God for lifting this burden from them. There is still much work to be done before everyone lives comfortably, but this is a major releif for almost 1 million Ugandans.
Thank you for your prayers.

Videos on YouTube
I just stumbled upon some videos online from UKids trip to Uganda this last summer. I think they are very powerful, and a pretty good representation of our short term mission trips. Please take a few minutes to watch them. You can get to them at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/user/adamneil82
Thank you, UKids, for posting these. The children are so excited to have you back again this year!
If you would like to explore the option of attending a mission trip to Uganda in July, please give us a call at 972-307-5433 or email us at info@christianlifeministries.org.

Thousands of Jobs Created in Uganda
The UIA (Uganda Investment Authority) is starting a project in Uganda that will create over 12,000 jobs. This is great news. More exchange of money the better for Uganda’s economy. Click here to read more: http://allafrica.com/stories/200910191358.html
I think this article is exciting. We always hope for Uganda’s economy to improve considering it is into this economy that our children will embark when they are older. We are creating job creators more than job seekers, and any improvement of the economy makes this even more possible! Please pray that we see an upward trend in the economy.
Have a safe and happy weekend!

Bill Gates Donates to Uganda’s Farmers
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged to help farmers around the world, including in Uganda. “Helping the poorest smallholder farmers grow more and get it to market is the world’s single most powerful (switch) for reducing hunger and poverty,” Gates said in a statement released ahead of his speech at the World Hunger Symposium. He plans to connect farmers to valuable information on sustainable farming and connecting farming education to schools.
Thank you, Gates Family! This is a valuable contribution that works from the ground up!
Pray with me that Uganda continues to be blessed with meaningful contributions such as this!

Straight from the mouth of Natalie on the Uganda Experience
Hear what Natalie Caminiti has to say about her time in Uganda:
I went because of the overwhelming need broke my heart. The idea alone of a 20 year war broke my heart not to mention the atrocities that Ugandans are living with as a result of the war. Poverty breaks my heart, and so does 10 percent of the world's orphans living in a country the size of the state I live in.
I thought to myself, hey I'm single without children why can't I take care of some kids who need love? I can only imagine what it must be like to bare a child, but it must feel a lot like being vulnerable enough to feel as if you would do anything to protect life and that's how I feel when I think of the orphans I've met there. I just can't fathom the hurt they have felt in their short lives.
I Ultimately went with the intention to "do good works by my faith," but instead of only being broken for the people of Uganda, I instead became broken for people back home (or in the Western world) because we are so caught up in materialism and schedules and selfishness. We miss the feeling of true community, the blessing of a simple life and the feeling of gratefulness, especially for the small things.
I've been forever changed by my experience and will continue to return as long as God allows.
Consider joining Natalie to Uganda for our summer short term mission trips, “Transforming Uganda 2010.”
Let me know if you are interested.

Food shortage looking better in parts of Uganda
The region of Karamoja has experienced heavy rains, which is great news considering the drought that they have been having previously that has given them intense food shortages.

Thank God for this! Please help the rest of Uganda!

Solar Power for Schools in Uganda
The company, Kyocera, has pledged to donate and install solar power systems to 15 schools in Uganda over the next five years. You know how I am about Uganda children and their education, so it is no shocker to hear how exciting I think this is. With the adult literacy rate in Uganda at about 65%, I think it is vitally important to improve the children’s education system. Many schools in Uganda do not have electricity. This will enable the school to bring in educational tools, including computers, televisions, radios, and lights! It is hard for most people in the United States to think of a school with no lights.
Thank you Kyocera for helping educate the children of Uganda, the children who carry the future of Uganda on their shoulders!
We would love the opportunity to bring solar power into our orphan villages. Maybe this is something we should think about for future projects…

Dormitory Burnt at Homisdallen Primary
Please pray with me as the staff, children, and families of Homisdallen Primary school in Kampala, very near our Seeta orphan village, recover after a fire tore through one of their boys’ dormitories, eating away all of the boys’ assets. Luckily there was no one hurt as the P5 boys that resided in the dormitory were out to dinner and the P7 boys were out studying for their final examinations coming up. There was one boy in the dorm for the fire, but he managed to escape unharmed, Praise the Lord! It is suspected that the fire was caused from a hot iron being left plugged in, sparking fire on a nearby mattress.
Please pray in thanks that no children were injured in this fire, and pray that they will be relocated soon so that they can have a place to live and continue their schoolwork.

Steak in CT
The afternoon was a great time of fellowship. We went downtown Standford and ate dinner in a special restaurant on I think the 18th floor of a gorgeous building. My host and his family and friends treated me to a great steak and since I was due for a good steak, I dug in! I stuffed myself so much, I thought someone was going to have to roll me out of there, that was if I would fit through the door! I thought I was going to pop!

This weekend in Ohio, God was amazing! We had a great number of people return for the evening services, which was wonderful to see! We received sponsorship for a great number of children, almost 70!

Technical Schools in Uganda

I found this article, and it makes me happy to see that Uganda is concentrating on technical education for its people. The people of Uganda show an overwhelming yearning for learning (wow!

Experience in Uganda - Tiffany Gosvener

Tiffany Gosvener at Uganda Orphan - Christian Life Ministries
“The summer of 2009 was my third trip to Uganda and working at the Seeta Orphan Village. People ask me about how hard it is to number one go and live in Africa and number two how to come back home after having witnessed what life is like over there. The poverty that is prevalent in parts of Uganda is not what leaves the biggest impact on my life but it is the people. God’s ability to change lives and bring hope and peace is seen on every face at Seeta Orphan Village and all around Uganda. These people have faced unimaginable hardships all throughout their lives but God has transformed their sorrow into joy. Uganda has become a second home for me. My happiest days are those that I spend at the Seeta Orphan Village and I am just as comfortable there as I am at home. I have developed great friendships with many children there, children who have taught me how to pray, worship, and have faith in an amazing God. There is not a day that goes by where I am not thinking about the orphans of Uganda and what I can do here in America to bless them. One of my favorite things about going to Uganda is being able to witness how God can use the giftings of Americans and the giftings of Ugandans to equally bless each other more than the other could imagine possible all the while giving all glory to God and building His kingdom” –Tiffany Gosvener

God will save America!
Is it true that America has reached a point beyond human help? Is it true that the layers of unconsistency and disobedience are so thick that it will require a great move of God to peel them off the fabric of the nation? When you watch the media or hear talk shows, it may sound and feel that way, but I believe as we commit to strategic, coordinated, desperate prayer, God is able to transform this beloved nation. For sure we cannot heal ourselves but God promised that He will!
2 Chronicles 7:14 -- if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Church Planting Mission Trip
One of the things we wish to emphasize during next summer’s mission trips is church planting around Kampala. Of course, people will have the ability to serve other ministries like the orphan ministry, etc. We are asking churches to come to Uganda to plant a church. A church or even an individual can sponsor a church planting, which will include buying a small piece of land, building the church structure, plus outreach that will enable the church to be launched. If this is a timely decision, we can do all of the preparation to have the church launched during your mission trip. This could be a life giving moments for you and the rest of your church group or mission trip team.
Please call or email us if your group or church would like to plant a church in Uganda. info@christianlifeministries.org or 972-307-LIFE

We have finally set the dates for next years’ mission trips. For our general mission trip, the dates are July 22 to July 30. There will be other mission trips during the summer with specific groups going to accomplish specific things, but this one is a general mission trip.

We also have scheduled our winter mission trip to Uganda for December 29, 2010 to January 7, 2011.
We would really appreciate your inputs and expression of interest. Also, if you feel you would rather attend the mission trip with a specific group, send us the information of your church or group and we can send you more information and get you guys set up for your desired dates. If you don’t have a group in mind and want to know what groups are in your area, let us know that too. If we know of groups in your area, we will get you in touch with them.

Isaiah 25:9
Today in my devotional, I read Isaiah 25 verse 9. It is about an answered prayer to waiting people. In brief, it says one day you shall say, “This is our God. We have waited for him.”
I pray that you’ll experience this in your own life and be able to say, “This is my God!” Not once… Not twice… but many times!
But as you wait upon the Lord, I pray that you see him come through for you.

Orphan of the Week
We never got a sponsor for Gertrude, so she will remain our orphan of the week. Here is her information again:
We estimate her age to be 11 years old. She is now housed in Seeta, and her ID# is 6367.

Background information:
o Gertrude’s father died, and he left her mother to take care of seven children.
o Gertrude’s mother is jobless and has no way to support her children.
o Gertrude was brought to the orphan village with hopes to be able to go to school and be taken care of.
o Gertrude dreams of becoming a very powerful lady.
Help Gertrude have all of her needs provided for by becoming her sponsor or spreading the word with us to get her a sponsor. Full sponsorship, which will cover all of her needs as well as her tuition, is only $60 per month, or we can take two partial sponsors at $30 per month.
When you sponsor a child, you allow us to take in more children off of the streets of Uganda and put them in a loving home with a caring village!

Organ Transplants in Uganda
The president of Uganda announced that the government would be providing funds for equipment needed for surgeons to be able to perform organ transplants, including cornea transplants. This is big news in Uganda, since this has not really been an option in the past.

It’s difficult to put ourselves in the shoes of people who have needed transplants but have been unable to do so within their home country.
Please pray with me that this is just another sign of improved quality of life for the people of Uganda.

I think stories like this are inspirational. People that get together for a cause can make a huge difference. I appreciate their role in preventing Aids in Uganda because Aids is one of the leading reasons Uganda’s streets are filled with orphans. We enjoy taking care of our children, but we are always trying to make changes that will lead to less orphans on the streets.

Full time lovers and followers of our God, it’s a lifetime commitment. Lifetime is not too long to love our God. As we are fulltime employees or fulltime parents, we must also be fulltime lovers of our God. Which one are you? A fulltime employee and a part time Christian?

Kampala Expanding
Uganda is growing as a Nation; our capital city, Kampala is expanding. There is even a dialogue of extending its boundaries. God is bringingthrousands of people from other parts of the country into the city. This is great because they will be reached for Christ when they come. The bigger the city, the greater the opportunities to reach the people!

Getting the Message to the World
Getting the message to the world. Matthew 28:19
Maximizing the Kingdom in this generation must require us to use all the available tools, like the internet, twitter, blogging, and mass media initiative. As it has been said, the message (of the Gospel) is always the same but the method must keep changing to reach our changing world. When the message changes, it becomes a mess… but its not a mess but a message in this mass world.
Use your tools to spread the message of Christ.

Win Hearts to Christ
We have found that the best way to win hearts to Christ in Uganda is to lead by example. When you show love to people in Africa, after they see you performing an act of mercy, then you have earned the right to speak to their hearts.

Solar Power for Seeta Village
A recent project in Misindye, a village near Seeta, brings solar power to the homes and businesses of the village. The project brought in 5 small solar power stations, enough to run 35 households and 2 commercial refrigerators. Solar is ideal for areas like Misindye where the homes are stand-alone units because extending the grid would be unfeasible or very expensive. There are definitely challenges for this growth, but this installation shows that it can be done!
To read the full article : http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/features/features/42-features/1897-seeta-village-captures-hope-and-frustration-of-solar-power
In some ways, Uganda’s slow growth has been negative. But, in other ways, like this one, it is positive. When America was growing, the best ways to get electricity were also the most unhealthy for the environment. Now, as Uganda grows and needs electricity, the technology of solar is available, giving Uganda an opportunity to grow in a clean and healthy way.
Pray with me that Uganda’s growth remains healthy and clean and that Uganda can learn from America, China, Japan, and other countries and take advantage of better technology available today.

Reforestation Project in Uganda
I recently read this article, and it made me excited. It is about a reforestation project that recently was approved in Uganda that has been named as a carbon dioxide emissions reducer under the Kyoto Protocol and will be funded by World Bank’s BioCarbon Fund.
This news is exciting to me because I see great potential for Uganda. First, the project will, as stated, reduce carbon emissions, keeping the air of Uganda clean. Second, of course, the natural forest area will keep Uganda beautiful and be home to wildlife and plants. Third, which is a big one, this project will create approximately 700 new jobs for Ugandans. Fourth, this project will bring money to Uganda’s economy. Fifth, this project will help Uganda meet its need for wood without continuing to deplete forests. A beautiful, clean country with a blossoming economy may lead to more tourism, etc. that will also bring money to Uganda’s economy. More money for the economy means more families can afford education, medical care, etc. I know I am leaping into the future, but I see this as a gateway into a beautiful future for Uganda, which is just what we have been aiming for!

Orphan of the Week - Gertrude
We have started a program that we like to the “Orphan of the Week,” in which we as a ministry try to get at least one child sponsored per week. This week’s Orphan of the Week is Gertrude Nabisenke.
We estimate her age to be 11 years old. She is now housed in Seeta, and her ID# is 6367.

Background information:
o Gertrude’s father died, and he left her mother to take care of seven children.
o Gertrude’s mother is jobless and has no way to support her children.
o Gertrude was brought to the orphan village with hopes to be able to go to school and be taken care of.
o Gertrude dreams of becoming a very powerful lady.
Help Gertrude have all of her needs provided for by becoming her sponsor or spreading the word with us to get her a sponsor. Full sponsorship, which will cover all of her needs as well as her tuition, is only $60 per month, or we can take two partial sponsors at $30 per month.
When you sponsor a child, you allow us to take in more children off of the streets of Uganda and put them in a loving home with a caring village!
To become Gertrude’s full or partial sponsor, call 972-307-LIFE (5433) and tell us you want to sponsor Gertrude! Or, you can email us at info@christianlifeministries.org.

Mobile Phones save the Bananas?
I found this article about a banana disease scientist and his cell phone. Uganda isn’t as flooded with technology like the U.S. Because electricity is scarce, it is hard to move technology in. Mobile phones are rare because of the difficulty in finding a place to charge them. I posted a blog a while back that talked about solar powered mobile phones being produced in Uganda just for that reason.
This article talks about Laban Rutagumirwa, a banana disease tracker in rural Uganda. Because there is nowhere close to charge his mobile phone, he must do so with a car battery. He walks over four mile each time his phone’s battery dies to ensure that he can stay in touch with scientists to help track and stop diseases in the banana plants, protecting the crop that covers about 40% of Uganda’s farmable land and serves as a staple food for over 12 million people. “Losses from banana disease are estimated to be $70 million to $200 million each year.”
“With his phone, Mr. Rutagumirwa collects digital photos, establishes global positioning system coordinates and stores completed 50-question surveys from nearby farmers with sick plants. He sends this data, wirelessly and instantly, to scientists in the Ugandan capital, Kampala.”
The growth of mobile phones is the fasted in Africa, growing far faster than internet connections, which is opposite in the United States. Not only do mobile phones allow banana scientists to track diseases in the field, but it also allows for people to gain information, buy and sell product, transfer money, turn on water wells, etc. To a society that remains cut off to some extent, mobile phones are opening communication lines and helping society grow together.
“The use of the mobile phone,” Mr. Bangirana said, “has empowered the community to know what they never knew and ask any question concerning their surroundings.”

I just thought this article was interesting. I get caught thinking like an American and taking things for granted, like the ability to easily get in touch with anyone, whether it be a neighbor or a friend that lives on the other side of the world. The ability to communicate is much taken for granted here, and it is interesting to think about how life would be without that communication, like it is in Uganda for so many!
The interesting thing about Uganda is, though, that even with the high growth of cell phones, people there continue to value face to face conversation! I hope that remains because that interaction is almost the definition of Ugandan culture.

I get caught thinking like an American and taking things for granted, like the ability to easily get in touch with anyone, whether it be a neighbor or a friend that lives on the other side of the world. The ability to communicate is much taken for granted here, and it is interesting to think about how life would be without that communication, like it is in Uganda for so many!
The interesting thing about Uganda is, though, that even with the high growth of cell phones, people there continue to value face to face conversation! I hope that remains because that interaction is almost the definition of Ugandan culture.

New Photos on Flickr
Hello all,
I posted new photos on Flickr if any of you are interested in checking them out. I posted more photos from the Birthday party and some of the beginning stages of school construction, included photos of where classes are being held until the school is completed. Finally, there are three with me speaking at the Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas. I always laugh at photos of myself! Check them out at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jackson-senyonga/

Staying At It
I have been reminded of a story when Peter had fished all night and caught nothing. Jesus came to Peter and told him to go back to the lack and fish. Peter said we have done this before and caught nothing... Nevertheless, because it is your word, I will do it. They did and caught a lot of fish.
Remember, Peter didn't go to another lake, use another boat, or buy new nets. He changed his attitude and stayed at it with Jesus's command.
Miracles will happen in familiar places if you do the same...

Wilmington Trip
Our time in Wilminton was too good for words! The ministry went strong, and the Lord blessed us here. But you know, this is home to me. Pastor Ron is my pastor. It is great to see God at work in the lives of many people. One family at The Rock bought two houses for orphans... what a heart, what a gift! Please continue to pray for Pastor Ron and Norma together with Pastor Brian and Jennifer for all the great work God has ahead of them.

Campaign for Desks
I thought this article brought to light just some of the minor difficulties that many children in Uganda endure. There are many schools that cannot afford to provide desks for the children. Lack of desks lead to bad posture, exposure to very dirty floors complete with allergens and irritants, lack of comfort which makes concentration on school work difficult, etc. Our children have desks, thanks to the donations made for our school construction. Such a small piece of furniture can make such a large difference when raising the future of Uganda. Thank you for helping us make these children's lives better!

Jessica Simpson's Time in Uganda
I came across an article complete with a picture about Jessica Simpson's trip to Uganda. I found this strangely inspirational. Simpson is working on a VH1 series, "The Price of Beauty" (premiering 2010) about women around the world, and she traveled to Uganda to explore the lives of women there. Although it took some fortitude to get used to the circumstances (i.e. sleeping in a tent, wild animals and bugs, etc.), she wrote on her Twitter: "Uganda was truly a beautiful adventure," she Tweeted. "I will carry the spirit of all the people with me always. God Bless."

College Students Raise Awareness of Situations in Uganda
LeHigh University has just welcomed a new club to campus, Schools 4 Schools. Schools 4 Schools, run by young volunteers, is putting on an event to raise awareness of the rough conditions that people in Uganda face, including hunger, displacement, and general financial hardship. The event will include simulations, a movie, personal stories, and information on how students can get involved.

Toothbrush Donation!!
We are so excited. We had a donation of approximately 2000 toothbrushes! Now we are ready to send them to Uganda. This is exciting news. Although toothbrushes are taken for granted in American, dental hygeine is a little more difficult in Uganda. This will help our children keep up their teeth, which in turn will help them stay healthier. After all, everything you eat comes in through your mouth! Our children are no different! Plus, a clean smile makes a great impression, and our children will be better able to get jobs and make business relationships if they can greet all they meet with a clean smile and nice teeth!
Thank you to our donor!

More great news for education!
Here at Christian Life Ministries, we not only try to help today's orphans, but we also strive to help future generations not have such a problem with the number of orphans. We do this many ways, including HIV/AIDS prevention and general education programs. I personally beleive that if Uganda's society was better educated, it would help the whole country as a whole and its relationship with other parts of the world. Educated children are usually more confident, aware of the possibilities, and more able to learn skills quickly. This is why I am so excited lately about the growth of Uganda's educational system as well as the evidence that Ugandas are learning more and yearning to learn as much as they can!
I have read a few articled this weekend relating to this subject.
World Bank gives to Ministry of Education : http://allafrica.com/stories/200909180960.html
Citibank and others donate reading materials : http://allafrica.com/stories/200909180959.html
Please pray that this trend continues and eventually leads to a better Uganda society that is able to care for their children and leave less orphans.

Sugar makes power?!
A sugar plant in Uganda has found a great use for the sugary liquid biproduct that is usually thrown out. It has been found that the biproduct can be use to produce power. They sell it to the national grid, making the power source for Uganda more reliable (in the past, there hasn't been enough power to support the growth of Uganda's industries, so Ugandans often have power shortages and outages).
It is amazing how God uses every little thing on earth for a purpose and gives us the wisdom to figure out how to use it to our advantage!

Motorcycle Race Company Donates to Uganda School
GP2 Series, a motorcycle race series, has given a significant donation to the St. Mary's Primary School in Seeta. The school was too small to house all of the potential students, which was unfortunate considering how much difference and education can make to a Ugandan child. The GP2 Series donated to build a new wing, provide books and furniture, and even maintain the existing school.
This company deserves great thanks for this donation. Please pray that God bring more generous souls to help Uganda.

Luncheon With Pastors Continues
Today, I continue to work with pastors to create partnerships. Basically, churches help us gain sponsors by looking to their congregation. If you think your church would be interested, please let me know!! It is the most successful way we have been able to pick up sponsors for our orphan children our orphan villages in Uganda, and we would love information about your church if we aren't already working with them.
Please email me with your church information: pastor.senyonga@gmail.com

Busy Week!
I have a busy week this week! Today and tomorrow I am speaking with pastors local to the Dallas Fort Worth area for the most part. I hope to gain more sponsorships for our children! We have 1000 children that we need to keep sponsored. I have been doing many things to keep from being financially obligated to send the children away from our orphan village and to... nowhere. So, if you happen to know of a church that may be interested in helping us get sponsored, please let me know!!
Please pray that these meetings go well, and that God's will is furthered through the talks.
God bless you! Stay dry out there for all of you from the DFW area and wherever else it is raining!

Meet Betty
Meet Betty Nalukwago
Betty is an orphan, who came to our village as the whereabouts of her family is unknown. It is very likely that her parents were killed or they both died of AIDS, as this is the most common thread with the children that come to our village. She was hungry, needing clean clothing and a roof over her head Betty had nobody to love her and teach her. School most definitely was not an option for Betty as there are fees to attend school. Her future looked bleak, until now!
Under “Christian Life Ministries” “Homes for the orphans” project, Betty was chosen to come to one of the orphan home villages where there are other orphans from similar backgrounds that live together as a large family. Each home, which houses 12 children, has a widow or single woman that raises the children up in a loving, Christian family home.
Betty has had a tough time already in her young life. She is adjusting well to her new life, she loves reading. She says, "I thank God for my new family, brothers and sisters”. Her prayer request is for all her relatives to accept Jesus in their life. Because of you her prayers are being answered and she is able to live in a Christian community that will meet her needs.
Consider becoming Betty's sponsor so that we can continue to care for her and so that she can have hope in humanity when receiving love from you!

Uganda GDP
I am no economics expert, but I know a few things. The GDP of Uganda is expected to grow by 6 percent in 2009/2010, making Uganda one of the fastest growing economies in the Sub Sahara Africa. It is nice to see landmarks like that that suggest Uganda has a positive future. Of course, we have a long way to go on the socioeconomical sector, but it is nice to see progress for this struggling nation.

Solar Cell Phones in Uganda
Uganda Telecom recently released their latest innovation, a solar charged cellular phone. The new phone overcomes challenges that this technology faces: lack of electricity. Most cellular phone users do not easily have access to power to charge their phone. Since it is not convenient, cell phones have not taken off in Uganda like they have elsewhere in the world. This new technology allows cell phones to be used in even the poorest of villages. One hour of sunlight can charge the phone for 12 hours of talk time. The phones can be charge by solar power or with a traditional power outlet. Of course, we have a long way to go before Uganda fully enters the digital age, but this is a good start and can pave the way for other inventions.
I laugh at the thought of all of our orphans running around with cellular phones someday! Just kidding!

Mountain Lakes woman builds school in Uganda
Cindy Garrison, a young philanthropist, is making her mark on Uganda by building a secondary school in Namayumba, Uganda, an impoverished village. Garrison first visited a neighboring town for a mission trip and realized that something was missing. There was no secondary school (equivalent to a U.S. high school) for children to attend after completing primary school. So, she became committed to fulfilling this need for the Ugandan children. She raised money by advocating for the cause. She connected with many people, including the Christian Drama School. The Christian Drama School helped her raise money by creating a DVD. The DVD was produced and sold, with proceeds from each going towards this new secondary school in Namayumba. To date, the school now has a completed foundation, and construction continues. How exciting that a seemingly insignificant individual can make such a difference! What difference could you make?

We need your help!
After news that the private school that is currently educating our children has drastically raised the tuition fee, we are now seeking donations to build a semi-permanent school in which we will educate our children next term, which starts next week!
This will enable us to hire all-Christian teachers that can teach both the basics of math, reading, science, and history, but also how to apply them in becoming a Christian leader for future Uganda.
We are excited and challenged by this situation, and we are turning to you to help us make this possible for our children. To start this school, we will need $27,000 USD. This includes the desks and printed materials. The maintenance and teacher salary will still be covered with each sponsored child's monthly sponsorship donation.
We have already received one generous donation of $5,000, and we are hoping that many of you will commit to this need and make a difference.
Please consider donating. Even small sums will add up to a large difference. Also, please pass the word along. Advocate for this cause with us to help us take care of God's children.
Thank you for all of your help, and God bless!

Church Planting
Our prayers for next year include having lots and lots of churches planted. We have plans for many American pastors who visit Uganda in the summer of 2010 during the Transforming Uganda Short Term Mission Trip to plant churches with us. What a beautiful feeling to know that we will continue to spread God's light throughout Uganda and the world!
Please pray with us for this beautiful mission.

My Children
My kids started school here in Texas. I have two in High School and one in Middle school. As we watch the Lord lead us in our schedule, we continually have to depend on the Lord's direction on how to balance our family life with our ministry life. My wife and I lead a growing ministry in Ugand and maintain a national ministry in general, but we put priority in tailoring our lives to be healthy for our whole family.
The whole family is busy with back-to-school activities and definitely a lot of homework!
We are thankful for our children and their flexibility.
Please take a second to tell your children, if applicable, that you appreciate them. I will pray for all of the families out there that are seeking the Lord's direction in their hectic schedules as well.
God bless each and every one of you!

Labor Day Weekend
Labor Day reminds me of two things:
1. God is a worker!
2. On the Sabbath, God rested.
God is a worker, and when we work, we reflect his character and attributes. God worked for six days and rested on the seventh. That is how he made our bodies. We must rest to revive. This is why he created sleep, the Sabbath, and now the government to organize holidays such as this. God's rest is not going to be an annual event, but rather a daily experience as we rest in the Lord and also weekly as we take time off to celebrate life, family, and friends.
Labor Day... What an interesting concept...

Growth of Book Industry in Uganda
The growth of the book industry in Uganda has been tremendous. People are not only buying and reading more than ever, they are also personally showing support for budding authors by turning out in record numbers to book signing events.
This is a great mark for Uganda because it shows the rise or literacy and education in our society. It is amazing to see hoe many professional you see that have been schooled in Uganda that go on to be engineers, medical doctors, etc. around the world. It shows our stronger educational system and people's hunger for knowledge.
God bless this growth!

Kids are Going Back to School
The orphan children in Uganda are going back to school for their second term. As many of you know, the school system in Uganda is different than it is here in the states. There, we have four terms and four breaks. Now, they are headed back to school for term number 2.
This means a break for moms during the day and work for children.

Anna Phillip's Girls Kick It! Program
I just read this article on the Washington Times website. It is about a young lady, Anna Phillips, who has greated a program in Uganda called "Girls Kick It!" that uses commitment to her favorite sport, soccer, as a life changing experience to help girls and women of Uganda turn their lives around. Ms. Phillips describes the theory behind this organization, "We have found when girls have a commitment at an early age, it is less likely they will marry young or get pregnant or contract HIV."
The girls and women in the program practice three to five days per week and attend life training classes that discuss pertinent issues like self-respect, prevention of AIDS, and importance of teamwork. In America, these traits are taken for granted. In Uganda, a woman with this knowledge is a rare gem. In Uganda, women without guidance and hope are often subject to young marriages, starvation, poverty, and more. Programs like Girls Kick It! strive to break this cycle by reinforcing positive and strong characteristics of the women of Uganda.

This Weekend in Orlando
This weekend I flew out to Orlando to attend two meetings. Things there went wonderfully! God was fully present, and I feel these meeting will mean great things for our ministry.
The weather there was so wonderful! Plus, the tropical plants and palm trees reminded me of Africa in some ways. It was like being home away from home.

Heavy Rain Expected for Following Seasons in Uganda
According to weather experts, Uganda is expected to be hit by heavy rains through the months of September-December. Because so many people depend on walking as their main form of transportation, rain in Uganda slows things down. However, it is a good thing for agriculture, which is a major industry in Uganda's economy.
Please take a second to pray for our children, who have about a five minute walk to school each morning and afternoon. They will be drenched pretty regularly if the weather expert is correct! Please prayer for their health that the rain doesn't cause any illnesses due to the cold.
Thank you for your time and prayer!
God's best for all of you!

Update on William's Condition
I have received many messages from you all regarding William's condition. For those of you who aren't aware, my brother, William, was in a serious auto accident earlier this month in Uganda. He was knocked unconcious and suffered many injuries.
William is recovering well. He is no longer required to be on Oxygen supply. It is going to take several months for a full recovery, but he is expected to recover back to his original condition. He suffered wounds to the head and multiple fractures to his legs. He will be on crutches for a while. He is on strong medications for his head, and he will be taking a CAT Scan soon to see that all is recoving steadily since the accident.
Thank you for all your prayers. God has remained by William's side and given comfort to our family.

Funny Story in New Vision
When leaving her child with a sitter, Mama Vivian told her sitter to make sure the baby is fed on time. Due to a language barrier and miscommunication, Mama Vivian arrived home to find food loaded up on her wall clock, which was used as a plate for the child.
I just thought this was a little funny to think about. Can you imagine?

Consider becoming a sponsor
Please consider becoming a sponsor. We have so many children that we would love to take in, but we cannot do so unless they have sponsors.
Full sponsorship only runs $60 per month per child. How amazing is it that we can give a child new hope for only $60 per month? This $60 takes care of all his/her needs. Or, you can do a partial sponsorship for $30. This way, you and one other sponsor will provide care for one child.
If you cannot dedicate that sum of money each month, consider becoming an advocate for these children. Do things within you community to get sponsors. Have an art or pottery show to raise awareness. Or, fundraise to provide sponsorships. Bake sales? Craft sales? Etc.
We appreciate any help you can give. If you'd like more ideas, please call or email us: info@christianlifeministries.org or 972-307-LIFE.
God bless you for your help and support!

New Photos on Flickr
I have posted new photos from the 2009 Short Term Mission Trip. I think these photos illustrate how much different our organization is than others that seem like us on the surface.
First, you will notice that visitors are given the opportunity to meet face to face the child(ren) that they sponsor. Each child is either fully sponsored by only one person or partially sponsored by two. These children write letters in appreciation for your support and consider their sponsors as family.
Second, you will notice that there is some fun involved in this trip. We offer a safari of Africa during your visit. Plus, our visitors usually have a great time visiting with the children and house moms.
If you are interested in going on a Mission Trip next year, please let us know: info@christianlifeministries.org

Reaching the Lost
Did you know that witnessing or reaching the lost does not come by gifting but by obedience? It is not about picking and choosing about whether it is your gift to reach out to your friends and share Christ with them. It is a command. It is a mandate. We must reach the lost at all costs because people are lost forever. When was the last time you talked to somebody about the Lord? You don't need to sound preachy. Just share your experience of what God has done in your life and watch God do the rest.

Partnership with Alpha USA
Can you imagine what marrying with a ministry that is doing nothing but reaching out through evangelism and discipleship can do? That's exactly what Christian Life Church is doing with this wonderful ministry called Alpha USA. We have a lot of people praying everyday through the week that Alpha will be successful on all fronts. As they train churches and organizations on how to reach their communities and cities for Christ. Our prayer teams in Uganda are really pumped up for this, and from one of my last conversations with one of the Alpha leaders, they are excited to see that good things are happening within the ministry.
Thank God for this type of relationship and partnership.

Television Station
TOP (Tower of Praise) Television in Uganda is reaching peoples' lives by informing, enpowering, and entertaining. Since we started it, God has used it again to carry the signal to places that might not otherwise be exposed to God's great word, including high profile homes in Muslim communities that don't accept Jesus. God has used this medium to introduce Himself to millions. TOP Television has partnered with Daystar TV to carry its programs several hours per day, and it is wonderful!

Our Radio Stations
Its amazing what mass communication can do! Since we started our radio stations ten years ago, in places where we planted these stations across the nations, the number of churches and believers have increased. In some towns, within six months after the launch of the stations, there has been a significant increase in spirituality among the people who visit churches. We normally offer free air time to local pastors in those communities to come and share on the radio. In some situations, those pastors' churches grow so fast that they expand in just a few months. It is humbling to see that God can use our simple obedience to reach close to ten million people everyday with a positive message!

Good News from Seeta
We got a call from a church in Nevada that is interested in revamping our on-site clinic at our orphanage in Seeta. They want to sponsor another full time nurse as well as part time medical doctor. They're also looking into establishing a dental clinic at the same location including sponsorship/paying for a dentist to take care of the children.
This is great news!!
I will be bringing you to speed about this. Meanwhile... I appreciate your ongoing prayers for us, the children, and the whole ministry at large!
