I met with David Karubba, the man in Massese, who wanted me to teach Farming God’s Way. We finished a well-watered garden, or demonstration plot. He asked me back to talk at the church where he pastors. So I did, explaining more of the spiritual aspect of FGW, than the material, to the people. I purchased beads from the CHE group and said my last goodbyes there.
I was called to Sifa house at 4:30 for a surprise. I said good bye to Anne-Marie and the Dutch girls, who now have to share their home with 30 Australians, four to a bed. The surprise was they had thrown a party for me. After refreshments each went around and stated the difference I had made in their lives. They gave me a painting of us out on the lake, and some bracelets. Then we ascended the mountain to bury my treasure for Chris’s children, which I see by Facebook they are digging up now (I’m still not sure if that was considerate or inconsiderate of me). It was tough saying goodbye to Chris, Jane, and kids and Chelsea, their teacher. My words were few to insure no tears escaped with them. I couldn’t help that.
I was left at a fancy hotel in Entebbe, to wait for my flight out at 12:45 that night… Around the world from Africa to Texas in 12 hrs is not bad, but I arrived in NC with only half my luggage. Travis, Lori, Turner, Baby Sarah and my mom came to pick me up. Turner and Sarah have grown a lot, and so have Ray and Paul, and I have just seen the new addition Baby Emma, two months old. Next day I received by courier the lost bag containing Christmas presents and ministry beads.
I went on this trip to understand what kind of education and preparation I need for a lifetime of mission work. I have taken countless notes on what to bring, look out for, and learn. I concluded that I need to take the Mission Medicine Intensive course, and go off to a bible college. I’m currently looking at New Tribes Bible Institute up north. The next time I go out will be for a minimum of three to five years. For now, I will start ministries here and Farm God’s Way while that option is available to me.
Thank you all for supporting me.
1 Thess 5:16-28
~“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. Brothers, pray for us. Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss... The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”~
In Christ,
David Greene
