WE GIVE THE LORD ALL THE GLORY! We wanted to give our testimony and be witnesses of the mercy of our Lord in what you are about to read. His love endures forever! We are grateful. 

Many Nations of East Africa entered into their typical ‘rainy season’ in late February 2018. Many prayers had gone up to the Lord for several months due to the 2017 droughts that devastated many portions of every East African nation. The harshness of the drought claimed many human and livestock lives as well as the crops and increased hunger to another 21st Century high in the region.

This year has proven to be any thing other than closed heavens as the rain has continued to fall at higher than normal volumes. Many nations and their citizens were caught off-guard as most nations worldwide are when suddenly the rivers and lakes and ditches and drains are filled to over-capacity. Many lives have been lost and many more are endangered. The suffering also includes that of the livestock and homes and farmer’s fields and newly planted crops caught in the high-rising waters washing away the works of their hands. Let us pray against LOSS!

We felt the same sense of loss when our Construction Engineer, Toto Sande went to check on the Milling Project’s foundation knowing that far beyond normal rainfall had saturated the community of Kiereka Kasokoso. Surely, he found the foundation was indeed on the verge of being compromised. WE PRAISE GOD! WHO enabled us to pull together a team and necessary materials to reinforce the building’s foundation. The Miracle, though, is the Lord truly stopped the rain from falling the 3 days that were necessary to do the work! 

NWSC (National Water and Sewerage Corporation) came May 2, 2018 and buried the necessary pipes for the building’s hook up to the city’s system. We are getting closer to our opening day of operations–Lord willing the corn will come in by the truck loads at harvest and many will benefit from the grace our Lord has given us for this Milling Project.

The Bridge washed over and submerged under flood waters. This bridge leads into Kireka Kasokoso, Uganda (suburb) of Kampala, where the Milling Project’s Building was just completed.

The continual rain water had no place to go so as it rose it began to erode the newly poured foundation of late 2017 of the Milling Project’s Building in Kireka Kasokoso
Pastor Milton’s home the water had risen so high it poured into his house.
Such hard rainstorms beating against the concrete with no place to go because drains are overflowing.
Construction Engineer, Pastor Toto Sande, and a worker quickly get to work to secure the Milling Project’s foundation. The work began May 7th and was May 9th–the photos of the clouds were taken by Pastor Milton just as the final work was being finished on May 9th 2018.
Pastor Toto Sande, our Construction Engineer takes special care of making sure the Milling Project building’s foundation is secured against any future water erosion caused by high-rising waters.
May 9, 2018, as the work on securing the Milling Project’s foundation is completed, the sky that had been sunny and warm without the threat of rain for 3 days showed the threats of new rain coming.

Pastor Sande and Pastor Milton visited the Kiereke branch office of NWSC to inquire when the water trenches would be dug and the pipes installed so the building would be connected to the city’s system.
This NWSC engineer came and dug the water trenches and laid the pipes so the building is ready to be connected to the city’s system. PRAISE THE LORD
The Milling Project’s installed city water pipes. GLORY TO GOD
