Webale from Uganda!

Amanda and I are very grateful to all of our supporters who have enabled us to serve in Uganda through their prayers and financial giving. We're in the process of writing thank you notes to each of our supporters right now. Some of you have probably received the postcards while other people should be receiving them before Christmas.

There's a neat story behind the postcards. We wanted to do something that would allow us to send a personal thank you to each person or family supporting us. We toyed with buying African cards but those are quite expensive. We eventually decided that I would use my developing PhotoShop skills to make a postcard, we would buy the ink and paper, and print them ourselves here at the office. At the same time, Amanda was gearing up for Parent/Teacher conferences at school. During one of the conferences, a father mentioned to Amanda that he owned a printing and graphics shop in town. Amanda asked how much it would cost to get the postcards printed up. He graciouly replied, "They won't cost you anything!" The next day we met Albert at his shop, Excel Graphics. His employee, Lynn, showed us the paper selection and helped Amanda change the font to something she really liked (Amanda likes different fonts, if you didn't know that). We were able to pick them up the following day.

We're grateful for so many things here, and the free postcards fall into that category as well. Please let us know if you don't receive a postcard by Christmas and you are supporting us in some way. We want to be able to thank each person for their contribution to our ministry.
