Updates in 2020

Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I have entered the gate and traveled the narrow way, the rewards outnumber the challenges ten fold. My journey with LMH and Uganda is for 3 years; my lessons are for a lifetime.

A great deal has happened since the beginning of 2020. My journey continues into the second year. Tea farms in January/ February 2019:  21,000 Kilograms, 450 shillings per, 9,450,000 gross income. January/ February 2020: 71,000 Kilograms, 600 shillings per, 42,600,000 gross income. 

Thank you Jesus Our Father please keep the locust out of the fields.  Amen.

Chickens keep clucking and keep laying eggs.  

Thank you Jesus.  

My mission mate has arrived. I was very nervous about sharing space with a person from Colorado. They generally feel intimidated by the Big Red, can you imagine living in the red shadow. Much to my amazement Tony is an amazing person. His talent level is undisputed, his path is clear.  He is Mission. Ed and Cathy join us March 19, 2020. 

Fourteen months ago I was in a strange land all by myself, and soon we are four:  Project Leader, IT specialist, Physician Assistant and Registered Nurse.  Thank you Jesus.

All the people I have met, all the land I have traveled has added tremendous purpose to my being. I thought God called me to Uganda to help others, after 14 months I figured it all out. God sent me to Uganda to help me.  Thank you Jesus

Coming Home

I arrived back again on the sacred soil of Eastern Africa in Uganda, after spending sometime in the States. I was greeted by so many people as my car entered my village, cheers of joy, many waves, smiles. I am not an emotional person but tears came to my eyes.

My mind wondered for weeks what would I find, how would the projects be doing, chickens, tea, hotel, apples? I found the Chickens in perfect health, everyone accounted for, the Kabale environment and Martin were a perfect match. Father Leo Kosch taught a man to fish and fed him for a lifetime.

I found the tea farms continuing to flourish, the record tea production was not only maintained but was far exceeding goals. Herbert, John, and Lydia received 5 gold coins and returned 10, as scriptures writes the master was pleased. Humble Matthew was encouraged, enlightened, and moved. When Matthew left the record was 2,400 kilo grams per day, it is now 4,000 kilo grams per day. My four brothers know how competitive I am, Jesus knows how to humble his servants and this Nebraska boy is one proud, humble, inspired human. Thank You Jesus (as Damian Kabot always proclaims upon success).

Capricon Excecutive Hotel in Kabale Uganda is online with pictures for your viewing and booking pleasure. It is a Diocese owned hotel that is doing amazing things. Peter, Otto, thank you for your leadership. 

Matt & John Case

Apple John Case has taught me more about apples than any text book could ever begin. I look forward to the many lessons and just a small amount of apple wine. My father Paul taught me how to love again, and my son taught me a lesson in forgiveness.

Matt with his dad, Paul.
