Creative Partners - Resurrection in Cary

Mission Display at Resurrection Lutheran ChurchMany of our partner congregations come up with creative ways to keep their members informed and involved in God's work here in Uganda. One such congregation is Resurrection Lutheran Church of Cary, North Carolina, where Krista and I hold membership. Resurrection had a special mission focus in June and requested that we pen a personal letter to the congregation as part of their display, and we gladly obliged:
Dear Brothers and Sisters of Resurrection,
Greetings from Uganda! Krista and I praise the Lord for your mission mindset – it’s one of the great things that attracted me to RLC when I first moved to North Carolina. Along with many Ugandans, we would like to thank you once again for your sponsorship of the Gospel proclamation happening here in Uganda. My primary task is teaching a class of over 20 lay leaders from congregations across the country. I teach an advanced course that meets every two weeks here in Kampala. We strive to teach practical skills and Biblical truth that our students can immediately make use of in the congregations they serve. At least once a month I am privileged to travel up-country to visit congregations. Just two weekends ago I traveled to the Kamuli area to be with one my students f or the dedication of their new church structure. I baptized over 20 children and young adults and confirmed over 30 that day! God is doing amazing things in Uganda – just as he is in Cary. What an honor that He uses us in that work. Thank you again for your ongoing prayers, encouragement, and financial support. May God continue to richly bless you as you have blessed us!

The display that Resurrection put together included our latest newsletter, prayer requests, our prayer card, pictures downloaded from our website, ways to support us in prayer, encouragement, and financial gifts, how to send care packages and what to send, and a link to our Field Film. Great job, Resurrection! Thank you for thinking of us and for encouraging us by letting us know about your efforts. May God continue to richly bless you as you have blessed us! -Shauen
