As Usual He Exceeds Our Expectations

Before I left the U.S. I prayed seriously for wisdom and discernment about what God had in mind for the Rock's future with the mercy homes and the scholars. Mark and I have felt He wanted us to have more faith and realize He is multiprocessing and many times exceeds our expectations. I have to admit things have been crammed packed with one open door after another.

Just to give you a sneak preview, during the dinner for the graduates the manager of the restaurant told me the hotel does internships for university students and that I should talk to Human Resources which I did Friday and they have agreed to review our scholars for internships. Also I was able to set up an appointment for two of the scholars with Daks Courier/UPS affiliate in Uganda for next Monday after an initial introductory meeting. The ATM machine at Barclay's ate my card Thursday night so I had to meet with the branch manager to get it back and she told me they were hiring university students as contract employees instead of doing internships. She said she was glad to help get their CVs to the Human Resource Department.

And if this isn't more than enough to be excited about we have the possibility of an open door with a commercial agriculture project that could be a large piece of the self sustainability puzzle. God is very big!! Lutaaya, Junior, Ken, and I have our second meeting Monday afternoon to present a proposal so we need lots of prayers. The first meeting all of us prayed in the car on the way to visit a farm manager that God would guide us and open or close the door. We spent several hours learning so many things about crops and livestock, then met the key decision makers who just happened to stop by the main office for the project. Anyway we were all so excited about the comprehensive elements of the project that we could hardly believe God had put this in our path.

Let's pray that God will be in all the details and the proposal will be embraced before I leave Uganda.
