Drama and Dance Program Begins

Dear Helpers of ROWAN,

Greetings in the Precious Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

I would like on behalf of ROWAN Uganda to thank you once again for your
faithful labor and work in this ministry to transforming the Widows and
Orphans from hopelessness to hope children in Jesus’ name. May the Lord who
sees in secret reward you openly.


The ROWAN programs are doing well, the bead making training for new designs
began on Monday it will take two weeks, It is exciting to watch people work
as a team for the betterment of the Ministry. Tomorrow Saturday Drama, Dance
and Music practice will begin. And, the Pineapple planting in the new garden is
going on well. The children next week they will have their holidays, So we
will enjoy the Holiday program where we plan to teach the Orphans to make
necklaces, and children are the best in Bead Making , you cannot believe
it, but it is true.

May God continue to give all of you Wisdom and favour as you fulfill the
ROWAN VISION. Of transforming the Widows and Orphans from
hopelessness to hope..( A poor man is shunned by all his relatives how much
more do his friends avoid him! Though he pursues them with pleading they are
nowhere to be found - Proverbs 19:7.)

We are happy that ROWAN is ready to say come and we will give you
hope.

Thanks and God bless you.

Pastor Paul.

Volunteers' Highlight by Kelsey

In Rowan, volunteers play an important role. More so when they are from the community. Two
very important men of God, Christopher and John, have both grown up in Mawanga and are very active in the local church under Pastor Paul.

When Paul began ROWAN back in 2004, the two men immediately came alongside to support him. They have given their time, love, resources and energy to serving the widows and orphans in the community.

They are at the front lines of projects, keeping track of administration and assisting Pastor Paul in whatever he does. As ROWAN expands, these men will be crucial in this ministry as their hearts are pure as gold.

Currently working as head volunteers for the ROWAN network, they divide duties of visiting the widows and orphans, overseeing the ROWAN office, and records keeping. Even in the toughest of
circumstances, you would hardly see them without a smile, with the joy of the Lord - their source of strength.

They love the Lord.
