The Farm

We have chosen to work toward a farm, for numerous reasons.  A farm means enough milk for all the kids in town, meat for the elderly, honey and vegetables, grains and fruits for balanced health and nutrition.  It also means, however, room — room to locate businesses, build a school and chapel, land on which … Continue reading "The Farm"

Baptism in the Old Testament

So complete is this tevilah that the Spirit of God dwells in us.  We are able to be in His presence anywhere, everywhere, and any time.  We can pray to Him directly without the intervention of a priest or the need to go through ritual purification before doing so.

As a church, we still have a lot of work that God is sending us to accomplish. Our approach at DCF involves training for self sustenance.

New (Sewing Machine) in Christ Jesus

Now, I am so pleased to say that the ladies of DCF Uganda have a sewing machine!  It is a thing of service and beauty, a joy, a wonder!  Emmanuel wrote to tell us that he would disassemble it to get it home on a boda boda, or motorcycle taxi.  Today, it is in the hands of his wife.  She is ready to make some old things new, and teach other women to sew for a living. 

Poverty and Christ Jesus

I have lived a life of humiliating poverty. Carefully choosing my words; we have lived a life of typical poverty. Around me, is/was a community lacking the basics of life! If we were born so, and grew so, how about our children? One of the reasons why I joined CLI (Christian Leaders Institute, an accredited … Continue reading "Poverty and Christ Jesus"

Good Friday

The stone that the builders rejected     has become the cornerstone. This is the Lord‘s doing;     it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the Lord has made;     let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118: 22-24 We often quote this verse about today — every day — being the day … Continue reading "Good Friday"
