A Journey of Growing with Sustainable Missions Inc.
A Renewal Our final night in Kiburara was filled with emotion and gratitude.

After a week and a day packed with activity,Continue reading “A Journey of Growing with Sustainable Missions Inc.”
This Had Been A Paradigm Shift
Hello everyone!! Spring cherry blossoms have given way to the buzzing bees of summer. We had some special family time over spring break. Our hearts are full and refreshed!

Sustainable Ugandan Based Organization

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”

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.
