PASTOR ERASTUS serves in a remote village near Uganda’s border with Rwanda in the south. His church is small but growing. Our field representative David Kabonge’ approached Restoration Ministries with the idea of helping him to rent farmland so he could provide for his family and sell the bounty produce to villagers until mandates by the government allow public meetings again. Restoration Ministries paid for one month’s house rent which had become past due, then rented him an acre of land to farm. Now he has income to pay for his own rent.
 | MOLLY: A recent graduate of Makerere University, Molly Namwogerere, which Ruth and I supported for several years, while gaining her Elementary and Primary Teacher’s Degree, has now become an apprentice teacher in a program called, “Teach Uganda”.
Since it is an apprenticeship position her room and board are provided, but nothing beyond that until her assessment comes. Currently, she has 250 students enrolled in her classes. Word had gotten out to the village that she taught “English”, and because of that hundreds came. Restoration Ministries bought her a bicycle for traveling to and from the school, and for visit the children at home on weekends. We will continue to support her until she gets her teaching job. She is like a daughter to us!

PASTOR BAVIVA MOSES (no picture) was sent by U.C.O.M. to start a church in a remote village in northern Uganda just when the Pandemic hit and mandated restrictions came. In spite of all this, he serves and encourages his village with limited resources and provides as much as possible. The Pastor has not had sustainable income during the whole period of pandemic. We sent him resources to buy machinery for grinding peanuts, and a little extra for some of his family’s needs. Restoration Ministries also provided some needed tuition so the pastor’s children could be enrolled in public school. Here is his comment after receiving the help we sent: “Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! Honestly, you’re indeed fighting a good fight in the Lord. You’ve set a perfect example for me as an individual, the family, and a young church . . . that God is so faithful and true to His word. We are encouraged in these trying times. Thanks Papa! Forever we will praise the Lord for you.”
