is becoming routine. Ignoring the early morning rooster, staggering to the kitchen for a cup of coffee, filling up bottles from the water filter, grabbing the protein bar of choice and filing into the Matatu. The scenery is becoming familiar, a stop in Mayuge Town for rice, concrete, order a crib to be made for Baby Robert, feeling the bumps increase as we transition from an asphalt road with potholes to dirt potholes with an occasional stretch of road. The looks of mild panic on our faces as the van tilts to the right scraping the trees then to the left is gone, we now automatically shift our weight from one side to the other without a break in the chatter of morning conversation about the job ahead for the day. We look for the mango tree which marks our last turn on the way to the place and the people we have grown to love as we serve our Lord.<br /><br />We arrive in Mayuge late this morning because we are driving the newly purchased Matatu and were waiting on insurance confirmation. What a blessing this new vehicle will be for Renee as she ferries babies and mamas back and forth from Manafwa where we are starting a Malnutrition Center. She has been transporting as many as 10 people at a time in her Toyota Land Cruiser and will quickly fill the 14 seats in this new vehicle!!<br /><br />There are a few women with small children waiting for us and the word is quickly spread that we have arrived and will be teaching about intestinal parasites and passing out deworming pills to everyone. Our translator, Aggra, is waiting to help us talk to the women and they begin to gather around the shade tree, placing grass mats on the ground and sitting while nursing babies and pleasantly chatting in their beautiful language which makes us feel totally inadequate. We must trust the Lord that He will allow us to be clear to them in what we say. As we look at the swollen bellies of so many children (an obvious sign of worms) we are grateful that so many people have generously donated funds that allowed us to purchase the 200 doses of deworming medication that we have brought with us. Thank goodness that we all seem to share a sense of humor as we share information about intestinal parasites and the prevention of infection – some interesting moments for sure!! After distributing the first 100 doses, we talked with the pregnant women about delivery and post partum care – I believe that if Aggra was white he would have blushed several times but he was a great sport!! When the school down the road took a lunch break we were inundated with more children and quickly dispensed the remaining 100 pills with many more needed. Tomorrow we will bring 100 more doses. These women care about their children just like we do – it is a blessing to be able to teach them things that will help them to find better ways to provide for the needs of their families and share the love that God has given us for them. We found today that there is a group of Christians in amongst the predominantly Muslim community – what an encouragement to know that if we have raised questions about the Lord that He has put in place others who will have more answers for these women!<br /><br />Their lives are so much different than ours but even so we are finding that we understand one another often even without words. We find the same sense of humor, pride in our work, concern for our children and excitement in our progress. The walls of the house are now about 12’ and all work requires scaffolding. Scaffolding is made by punching holes in the brick wall to put support poles through and lash with handmade rope to more poles planted in the ground around the home. Rough cut boards are laid across the horizontal poles and somehow this structure seems to support several grown men! Each time a certain level is reached on one side, the entire scaffolding structure is disassembled and moved to the other side. After rebuilding the structure for about the 5th time, we decided that next time we would spend the addition money to buy more wood to build a scaffold around the entire house one time – we realized that we often value time more than money but here time is the more available commodity! The day is a steady routine of mixing the large pile of concrete and sand on the ground, filling a wheelbarrow with the mixture, adding just enough water from a jerry can and mixing it with a large hoe. It is then ferried to the job site where 15” round pans are filled with the mortar and handed up to the bricklayers on the boards above. Bricks are hand selected and carried to the house where they are placed in small groups on the scaffolding. Since the bricks are all made from mud and air dried, many of them crack and are discarded in the huge brick graveyard near the construction site. Slowly but surely a house is being built along with many lasting friendships. We pray as we lay each brick that this house will be a physical reminder that God is real and that he cares for this community.Glendon Bachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10930684497201508818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224804980638523823.post-85555497623098556312011-06-25T11:06:00.000-07:002011-06-25T12:13:35.138-07:00Friday, June 24<br /><br />Our team divided this morning so that the SHC Board members could travel to Manafwa with Renee and Danielle to see the site for the new Malnutrition Center and visit the Health Center in Bukabero where Kissito Healthcare is forming a partnership. This center will be offering support to Renee when the program is ready for operation – probably the first part of 2012. Renee currently runs an Outpatient Malnutrition Program at the health center twice a month where she assesses children and offers food and education to enrolled families and transports severe cases back here to Jinja for treatment. We were blessed to be a part of returning a young mother and her children to their home after a month at the Jinja center where her child had been rehabilitated and where she gained a better understanding of how to care for her family and learned about and saw the love of Jesus through the amazing staff there. We also saw the start of that cycle for another mother as we watched Renee evaluate and interview another mom and baby that came back with us, searching for hope. When the Mayuge team returned later that evening, they brought with them 3 new children for the program bringing the number at the house up to 19 program children. Four more will be returned to their homes tomorrow and so the endless cycle of transformation continues.<br />Meanwhile back in Mayuge………God was working in hearts in a larger geographic area than we could have imagined. Word had filtered out that there was an American nurse and praying Mzungus (white people) at Roberts home. The following is an entry from Barbara’s journal……..<br />What an amazing day this was – God’s Holy Spirit was moving very powerfully in several situations. One of the men in another village arrived carrying his son in his arms. The child, he said, was about 2 years old but he was “sick in the brain” since birth. He’d heard the “mzungus” were here in the village and he brought his son to us to see if we could help him. The child was moving his head constantly and the father said he had seizures like epilepsy – he’d never spoken or learned to walk, but he appeared to be well cared for and loved in spite of his disabilities. Inside, my heart was just breaking for this little one – there was no pill I could give him or bandage I could apply. May heart cried out to God, “What can I do for this baby?!” I felt so helpless…but God spoke to my heart, “Pray for him.” I asked the father if we could pray for his son and he agreed. We gathered around him and laid hands on him and prayed to the Great Physician for a healing touch for this precious baby…..<br />In this land where life is so hard, sometimes all we can do is simply pray. I still cry for this baby and know that God sees my heart.<br />After we prayed, we went over to the matatu (van) to get some supplies and as we turned around there were several of the people from the village standing there – they were wanting us to pray for them also. There were two women with what appeared to be Yaws on their legs caused by a parasite that burrows under the skin forming knotty looking furrows just under the skin. One of them was very pregnant and she asked for prayer for her unborn baby. <br />A man asked for prayer for his wife who had had 8 miscarriages. A woman wanted prayer for chest pain. A grandma showed us her abdomen where she had a nasty looking abscess – we told her that she needed to see a doctor – I don’t know if she will but we prayed for her too. There is so much need here – I feel I have so little to offer to help them – there is so little I can do with my pitiful, tiny first aid kit……but I can pray!<br />One of the men said the grandma told him there was great power in the white mzungu prayer, though it’s the power of the One we pray to! Thank you Jesus!!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAzOslcbNrmjfg8M0tGvP2gInjMMTgPCy6bttowFWdKbIV6fzzGr0LEepaSRrSFUl3NvofYamSwxg2DMN-WxNL0x42sFMjz8D1Gar6MprB7IeVwTgkIrUvSUv4lC2GY5it5rC0BQhSaNr2/s1600/IMG_1132.JPG"><img style="display:block;

There....Hi Everyone! Well the time is approaching for departure, only 11 days left in the good ol' U.S.A! We're all SO excited!<br /><br />Glendon and Nick are spending most of their days in Mayuge digging for the foundation for Robert's home and hope to have it poured before we arrive, so we can jump right into building the walls! Click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqGhfoDc1Lc">HERE</a> to see a video of the work being done on Robert's house in Mayuge....<br /><br /><br />Time is flying, and there is still SO much left to do. We are still in need of about $4,000 to meet our fundraising goal. If 200 people were to give JUST $20 we would we would meet this goal. Would you consider helping us make a "Footprint in Uganda" this summer? You can make a donation using the paypal button at the top of the screen.<br /><br />Thanks for all your support, please continue to keep us in your prayers!<br /><br />Footprints in Uganda TeamGlendon Bachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10930684497201508818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224804980638523823.post-8616616313680103502011-05-16T08:47:00.000-07:002011-05-16T09:48:56.310-07:00Glendon and Nick are Uganda-Bound!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAWO6xFu10vfbeONsGTs5MSKoJ6PZa5KPNb4ByrjVcAZRqJSXe9jtO12Gvkjj9svGCYSTJ89O2aGne3Qttss4fInOVHSJCpIMc-4gaSFAzHk5ceSqpBzPqSBcQQOGxJbeE9qpzkRoG0pU/s1600/IMG_1362.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAWO6xFu10vfbeONsGTs5MSKoJ6PZa5KPNb4ByrjVcAZRqJSXe9jtO12Gvkjj9svGCYSTJ89O2aGne3Qttss4fInOVHSJCpIMc-4gaSFAzHk5ceSqpBzPqSBcQQOGxJbeE9qpzkRoG0pU/s400/IMG_1362.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607341889676170386" border="0" /></a>Well they're on their way!

They will be spending the next month taking trips to Mayuge, meeting Robert and his family, collecting supplies and starting the foundation for the home.<br /><br />Meanwhile, here in America the rest of us still have fund raising to do and other preparations to be made in order for us to make the trek to Uganda this summer!

Radford Baptist Church will head to Uganda to build a safe home for Robert where he can learn and grow.<span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>We will work along side of members of his family and community as we pour a foundation for a brick home and plaster the interior with concrete so that it can be washed and kept clean.<span style=""> </span>It will be covered with a tin roof and have windows and a door that will keep dirt to a minimum and allow for the daily washing and bandaging routine that makes life for Robert possible.<span style=""> </span>In addition to building a home, we will be building relationships with the family and community and creating opportunities to teach them how much God cares for them as we share better methods of providing health care and nutrition.<span style=""> </span>It is our prayer that through our actions and teaching that many will come to see and know Jesus.</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p

each team member – a total of $25,000.<span style=""> </span>Most of the funds to purchase building materials have already been collected but this will provide airfare, ground transportation in Uganda, meals (lots and lots of beans and rice!) and lodging while we are there.<span style=""> </span>We will be spending 4-5 days a week in Myuge, many miles from any electricity or running water.<span style=""> </span>During our time there, we will stay at “Betty’s Guesthouse” where we will sleep under a mosquito net in sparse rooms with no lights and wash with a basin of water filled from a jerry can carried by hand from a nearby bore hole.<span style=""> </span>I pray that we will fall asleep each night with visions of the faces of the people we have come to serve and bathed in the prayers from all of you.</span></p><a
