The love story of Simon and Aggie Paech, missionaries in Kampala, Uganda continues here at River of Life . Today's story focuses on the work God is doing in Kisoro, a town southwest of Kampala.
Simon and Aggie met Pastor George, from Kisoro, while attending seminary classes. After hearing the work God was doing through Pastor George there, the Paech's knew it would be a wonderful opportunity to join God where He was already at work.
Kisoro Kids is the newest ministry birthed to Uganda Journey, who is partnering with Pastor George and the Kisoro Baptist Association to provide an educational experience for kids in Kisoro. Currently Uganda Journey is supporting 40 kids that otherwise would not be able to attend school.
How do I get to be a part of this love story?
Well, in February my sweet oldest daughter Lawren, my friend Chris, and my dear friend Amanda flew to Uganda on a type of scouting trip. Their purpose was to logistically map out, based on time spent with existing ministries, how our upcoming team could be most effective. See, we really want to be an ongoing part of the people's lives associated with Simon and Aggie. If Simon and Aggie are being the hands and feet of Jesus, then we from home, their sending church Life's Journey, want to be the arms, legs, and rest of the body.
Anyway, during the scouting trip, the three, along with Simon and Aggie drove to Kisoro to meet Pastor George and his family.
It was on that trip that Pastor George said he needed someone to come in and talk to the people in the Kisoro churches about being a Godly wife and mother. Both Amanda and Lawren immediately knew discipleship was my heart throb. The existing Momheart ministry I am privileged to lead here will carry right over into the lives of the Ugandan women.
From The Taste of New Wine by Keith Miller, on discipleship, "Only Jesus Christ who bids us follow Him, knows the journeys end. But we do know that it will be a road of boundless mercy. Discipleship means joy."
I wanted to include a video here of the work going on in Kisoro but it's not cooperating. So enjoy below a few pictures Chris took while there in February. All of these were taken in Kisoro.
To be a poverty stricken nation, they sure have some joyful smiles. I think they know my Jesus. I can't wait to spend time with them and encourage them in their journey. Please help me by clicking on the pay pal button to the right of my blog. We are still raising support to go.
You too can be a part of this love story.
Love, Pam
I will be meeting Pastor George for the 1st time this summer. Thank you for posting this wonderful blog
