June 4, 1925 – July 8, 2023
John 11:25-26 (NKJV) 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 “And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
Some of you may be wondering why we have not posted as of late. On July 8th my mother went to her new home in heaven. She has been living in the UK with my sister Sharon, for the last two years. It has been a wonderful time for her as she made so many new friends that soon became family and my sister and her boyfriend Ian took such good care of her. When we heard she was sick we rushed up from Uganda and arrived here two days before she passed. Mom lived life all the way to the end. The picture above was taken the day before she went into the hospital.
My brother, Paul and sister-in-law Elyse were also able to be here along with all our girls and two of my cousins. When she passed into the arms of Jesus we were all around her bed.
Mom trusted in Jesus as her Lord and Savior so we are confident that when she closed her eyes here on earth she opened her eyes in the presence of Jesus.
There was a delay in releasing her death certificate so the funeral in the UK will not be until the 29th of July. We will return to Uganda on August 4th, Lord willing.
Matthew 18:5 (NKJV) “Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.
Meanwhile the ministry has continued full steam ahead! The walls for the Anchor of Hope feeding center in the village are almost complete. Then we are left with the windows and doors before we can open and begin to feed malnourished children here.
We were delayed a bit by the local governments requirement that we build a separate latrine. This required us to buy another small plot of land and build the latrine which is also almost completed.
If you feel led to give to the building of the feeding center click on the link below, choose Anchor of Hope Project and put feeding center in the memo section.

The AIR chaplains ministry in Tijuana is really blossoming. We have more than 800 youth in the program now and are sponsoring a summer camp with over 500 kids in late August! We have an opportunity to take them out of the inner city of Tijuana and get away to have fun and most importantly to hear the Gospel. If you feel led you can help us with the cost of that by clicking the link below, click on Anchor of Hope and put “TJ Chaplains youth camp” in the memo section.
