How do you rebuild?

It is a rebuilding period for us. Rebuilding the ministry in Jinja and the clinic in Ogongera.
The Jinja ministry is getting a new pastor. Moro Steven, who has been our prisons pastor for the last four years is going to take over the Sunday teaching duties when Jb and Grace depart for their new old home, Pajule, at the end of the month.

God has a way of getting things in place before we realise it and He is doing it in our ministry again. When Ryan left we never thought we could get a group to replace him but God has given us Otim, Aaron, Morris, Joseph, Anna, the harmony sisters Neema and Loyce, the harmony brother Patrick and it all just gets better. No, you can't replace Ryan, but God brings along a whole new wind to breathe back life into His church.

We can't replace JB but God doesn't want to replace him only move him. To try and fill JB's shoes would be tough. He wears a 71/2 and I wear a 13 so that doesn't work. But Steven has his own shoes and fills them quite comfortably. So God will use Steven in the way God intended and use JB in the place that was intended for him to be.

This past week I had another meeting at the clinic in Ogongora. This time the District Health Officer and the District Drug Inspector attended and gave us guidelines to get the clinic running again. Upon my return home the next day a very close brother in Christ calls from the States and wants to come with a team to do some work. Well I may not be a rocket scientist but I do know when God is working. So God is already making preparations to physically rebuild the clinic structure. And today I met with a registered nurse who wants to go and run the clinic. God is good!

How do you rebuild? Apparently you don't. You just trust God to do what He does best. And that would be completing the good work He has begun in Jinja, Ogongora, Pajule, you and me. If you are in the midst of a God project in your life, take heart. There is no one as faithful as Jesus.
