Sustainable Ugandan Based Organization
Crazy as it seems, we are now about a third of the way into 2025. Maryland had bone chilling weather in March, so I am sure with spring’s arrival, there were smiles as your thoughts turned to Easter and planting your gardens. The east coast of the US typically enjoys a greater shift ofContinue reading “Sustainable Ugandan Based Organization”
The Heights of the Mountains Are His
In the timeless classic Great Expectations, Charles Dickens wrote, “It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold, when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.” I imagine many of you have experienced days like this lately, because, let’s face it, that’s theContinue reading “The Heights of the Mountains Are His”
Roses Are Red
“Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you!” It’s a simple children’s Valentine rhyme, but one that many of us know by heart. February is the month to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and we’re no exception. This year we pressed into that idea of appreciating those we love here in UgandaContinue reading “Roses Are Red”
A Life Like This
Our Grandson was asked to write an article for a school project. He asked if he could interview us about our experience overseas. What a privilege. A retired local couple, Paul and Mary Foster (ages 69 and 68), recently moved to Uganda, Africa in August of 2023. While most retirees relocate and pursue a lifeContinue reading “A Life Like This”
Affecting Many Lives
We were overwhelmed when we saw this FB Post in early December from our ministry partner Moses Nkwatsibwe of Covenant Global Ministries I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to God for the lives of Paul and Mary Foster. They have exemplified remarkable humility, love, and parental care, by positively affecting so many livesContinue reading “Affecting Many Lives”

NORMAL is BORING!
Welcome 2025, and Happy New Year to all of you who are catching your breath after a full December! We’ve enjoyed Christmas celebrations and some relaxation time with our family, but we are headed back soon to our second home in Kiburara, Uganda. We’ve had a couple weeks to reflect on how faithfully God’s directedContinue reading “NORMAL is BORING!”
Instant-pot or Crockpot
Presto Cooker. Instant-Pot. Microwave. Fast Food. These brand names are a way of life for us in the USA. We force ourselves to slow down making a meal from scratch. Meals are quickly inhaled……..so lingering over a lovingly home made dinner and good conversation belongs to another era! Over the last few decades, technology has birthedContinue reading ” Instant-pot or Crockpot”
One Year Anniversary
It’s kinda crazy how time ‘flies by’. Our one year anniversary of living full time in Uganda! Milestones reached are often opportunities to stop, pause and reflect. Taking time of reflection is just what we recently did. As we re-examined the goals we had set and compared them with where we are now, midway throughContinue reading “One Year Anniversary”
