Greetings to you in Jesus’ name. I have recently returned to the USA for a home assignment after 15 years living among the Acholi people of northern Uganda (with a 1-year assignment in S. Sudan).

Current Ministry Objectives

• Continue developing our Christ-Centered, culturally appropriate, interactive curriculum currently being used in Uganda, South Sudan, Chad, Malawi, and we pray in the future, throughout Africa. The curriculum is titled “Roots to Fruits”. Our goal is to disciple and to develop an education system that brings His love and the Word of God to the children. As they learn to understand their world from a godly perspective, our trained national teachers will guide them in grasping concepts and information that they can use practically in their lives. After 15+ years in development, the curriculum is nearly complete and used primarily throughout Uganda. This year, we move into the revision stage of development.
• To continue alongside Acholi co-laborers that God has placed into our lives. This is done through relationship building in shared ministry and by helping to strengthen, mentor, disciple, and encourage. The goal for the Roots to Fruits team of nationals is to partner in creating a strong infrastructure by 2027, and to prepare the team for future sustainability, which does not rely on outside support. And above all, to follow where He leads.
