August 2014 Distribution

Jack reports:

We had a successful distribution on Saturday. My main focus was on the
spiritual aspect of both the sponsored and the guardians. I delivered the
message to them that they may give thanks to God instead of us. That God is
so faithful to meet their needs even without TGD.

High schoolers were the main focus. This group need to know Christ. And His
love and amazing grace. We are encouraging them to join Christian unions in
their schools and also to participate fully in their churches.

At least every child received a bible. Only a few high schoolers missed out.
Their account balances were below $300. We withdrew $50 for those high
schoolers with $300 and above. Repha, Truphosa and Fridah Wabuti received
$50 each from the wired money. Only Alice received more than $50. We
withdrew $63 from her account. She had many needs, but we couldn't get her
everything. Most of the items she needed were foodstuffs and this is what we
got her plus a bible.

For some high schoolers, our target is to get them some school items for
next term. They had given us the lists of what they need for school. We
purchased some additional items for them today. They submitted their
academic reports to us on Saturday and most of them are really trying their
best. We would like to do all we can to help them improve.

We got deworming medicine for free. Every child swallowed one tablet while
in TGD. They will be needed to do this again after three months. Praying
that their health improves

. At least every sponsored received a good quantity of food from the TGD
garden to take home.
