Tools recieved for Dentist in Mawanga

[Through your gifts to R.O.W.A.N. the village of Mawanga has a dentist!!! Thank you!!
-Elaina. Here is an excerpt below from a joyful email from Mpindi Eria Nyende, Pastor Paul's son, and the new dentist of Mawanga, Uganda! We are very proud of him.]
i don't know the type of prayer i can pray due to the happiness i feel because i have been attending patients without working on them onely promising them that God is soon opening the way we get the tools ....
I don't know the style of smile i will use the day i will meet you in order to appreciate all you have been serving to me,our family,community.
i would like to express my sincere thanks for the support you have extended towards me.
Am really grateful and i ask God thr Almighty to bless you abundantly in his kingdom and bless the work of your hands.
You have really shown me how much you love and care for me.

ROWAN Office is painted !

Greetings my fellow ROWAN supporter!

I am very excited to show you the pictures of the completed ROWAN office! All your help has made such a wonderful difference! The office is purple and it looks very cheerful. The next step will be to furnish the office with filing cabinets and chairs and tables.. Surely the Lord has provided for his servants when He heard their cry. Psalm 22:5 "To YOU they cried out and were delivered; In YOU they trusted and were not disappointed."

And now is a time of celebration. Pastor Paul is going to have his annual Christmas Party for his congregation, when gifts of food are given to those in need, and Jesus Christ is glorified! Psalm 22:24:26 "The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; Those who seek HIM will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever!" Come celebrate with them, with Praise and Thanks Giving lift up your face, HE is enthroned on the praises of HIS people!

With the gifts from the November, 2008, we have been able to sponsor the nurses for another month, and purchase $200 worth of meds for the clinic, we have sponsored Eddy in law school through the end of the semester (another is coming up and we need $800), we were able to finish the ROWAN office!, we were able to help Pastor Paul care for the orphans that he houses and his own family, and give hope to the helpless in the name of JESUS! Your gifts have accomplished SO MUCH!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Read Pastor Paul's thanks below.

Blessings Forever.
~Elaina Griffith, R.O.W.A.N.

Eddy at Law School

Subject: RE: Hello

Oh!! so exited to hear from you even after along time.Thank you so much for the scripture, it brings me much joy to learn of how God wIll save my life and how he lives in My amidst. tears of joy flow down in my heart when i nternalise this scripture. Thank you please and i ancourage you to always send me such scriptures. I am sorry too that i have not written to you through all that time. however i am doing well and healthy.i sterted my end of semester examinations on 1st december and will finish on 15th. what we need to do is to pay for house rent before i leave for the village. if we dont pay, the house will be given away. However it's better for me to find another house because the state of the house in which i have been living is poor and yet even its rent fee has been increased from 70,000/= to 80,000/= per month.

Currently it's easy to get a house but i should be having the money to pay for it.i therefore request that you will send the money for house rent and i get the house. this will reduce the burden of transporting every thing to the village and back. A better rooml goes for about 90,000/= to 100'000/= per month. this one can accomodate all thing i may buy while at school including the computer.

I have already bought a table that can carry the computer so when i get one, i will not have to buy another one.i have also bought a flat iron and a water boiller and a suit.
I now look like a lawyer. i ntend to buy more statutory books next semester additionally to the Constitution and the Uganda Penal Code Act.and intend to find a permanent house where i will live for the rest of the years in campas. other things will be included in the report.
My plans for the semester break are to work with the ROWAN and as will be directed by Pastor Paul. And i need to do alot of reading because i must have all the provisions of the statutes over head.What would you like me to do in this semester break?

kelsey,It is so nice to hear that you got a job. i pray that you will enjoy your job.How do you find Singapore? Thank you for supporting me spiritually my sister. i have almost finished typying my autograph and soon i will send it to you. hope you still have interest in it.

when i get home i will write my report of the whole semester.

may the grace of the Lord be suficient for you all.
Warm greeting to everyone there FROM EDDY
