Building a Clinic - Uganda
Can you imagine riding a bike for 2 hours to get to your nearest medical clinic? For some people in Uganda, that is exactly what they have to do. We currently have 3 small clinics we partner with in Uganda and we have begun building a new one by the lake. Land had been purchased, toilets have been built and some building supplies had been gathered but thanks to recent donations work is really progressing. With funds supplied largely from Gary and Chris holding a charity ride from Adelaide to Darwin, a great deal of new work has been completed. In fact, we hope to put roofing sheets on in the new year. This community has had an extraordinary amount of hardship and is very remote, so this clinic will be an absolute blessing. Pastor Peter in Uganda has shared how deeply moved the community is by this provision and asked to pass on their thanks. So thank you for your support through prayers, donations, FB/Instagram shares and comments.
Women's Retreats
In November this year, on the beautiful south coast of NSW in Gerringong, 43 ladies attended Created women's retreat led by Helen Betz. This retreat allowed ladies to unwind, connect deeply with God, engage in some fun activities and recharge their soul. We had such positive feedback and so many shared how deeply impacting the weekend was, we are going to do it all again.
Plans are already being made for more retreats in 2019, with one scheduled for Victoria, northern NSW and southern NSW. Please be on the lookout for more information and enrollments as they come around so you can secure a place.
HOPE Tour, Israel & Jordan 2019
Would you like to wander ancient streets? Would you like a sensory understanding of the Bible? Would you like to grow in your faith? We have 14 people who want to do just that by joining us for an incredible 3 week journey into Israel & Jordan!
Beginning in Jordan we make a pilgrimage through the desert before arriving in the Promised Land where we then retrace the steps of Jesus life and ministry, As we travel we will be learning about the Bible, creating a sensory understanding of the Jewish culture, Biblical times and the life of Christ. Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jericho, Masada, the Sea of Galilee, Mt Beatitudes, Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, Garden Tomb, and the Dead Sea are just some of the places we will visit. Please pray for the team that the experience will be profoundly moving and God will prepare their hearts in the months ahead ready for the trip and a faith journey.
Tanna
Despite how this photo looks, our team actually had a wonderful time in Tanna. In June this year doing evangelism and outreach they traveled to remote custom mountain tribes, to the market places and ministered in the local high schools. We really saw God at work. We are continuing to be in touch with the community there and recently sent them a little care package for Christmas. One of the team even sent a game they had enjoyed. We are praying about when we will take our next team so if you would like to be part of a short term mission trip and God adventure, keep an eye on our events page on FB or info we post on Instagram.
Thank you
Finally, a big thank you to YOU for being part of our Heartfelt Hope family. We have been blessed by your support, encouragement, prayers and gifts. This has been a difficult year for Ben and I as team leaders but we are grateful to so many of you for the ways they have encouraged us, helped us, come along side us and helped us not only do life but ministry. A special thank you to our church family at the Alliance Church who have really embraced life and faith with us.
Thank you.
May you pause for a moment in the busyness and know the gift of God's presence at this time of year. May you reflect and give thanks for the Christ in Christmas and the hope we find in Him.
