Greetings!
Did you know that Leap Day (resulting in what we call Leap Year) began in 46 B.C. when Julius Caesar was working to synchronize the calendar year with the solar year? If we do not add a day every four years, then “seasons would slowly shift and eventually Christmas would slide right into summer” according to the article in guideposts.org, et.al..
This is not my typical email introduction, I know, but I also know that you’ve been praying with us during our 29 Days of Prayer, and February 29th only comes around every four years. In light of this, we decided to make this day our “leap of faith” prayer day, and I want to invite you to pray big with me today. If you’re opening this email after the 29th, please add these needs to your prayer list.
Knowing that the smallest amount of faith is capable of moving mountains, please join your faith with mine and help us pray for these top needs in UCSS…
- Monthly donations (UCSS Lifers) – Everyday, UCSS addresses the basic needs for the community, so this is number one. Do this today by clicking on the link at the bottom of this email.
- Compressor truck (for hauling our drilling equipment) Bringing fresh, clean water is imperative for life in Bulike and Buluya.
- Equipping the maternity ward at the health center.
- Staff quarters for our health workers and teachers.
- Equipping the high school girls’ dormitory, plus building a boys’ dormitory and primary school dormitory. *safety is an issue for students, medical workers and teachers*
Thank you for taking this leap of faith with us! If you feel led to help with any of these needs, please let me know by responding to this email. It is nearly time for my spring visit, and I would love to meet with you, your church, or small group, as it may be that God would have us partner together for greater transformation in 2020. I’ve included an information form for this purpose and we will be in touch. May God’s grace and mercy abound towards you richly.
In Christ’s Love,
Ronald
