Happy New Year

I hope you started the year well and God has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in Christ thus far! We opened the year in Busia with my family. As 2006 came to a close and as we ushered in the New Year I could not stop thinking of the words of the good apostle Paul in Phillipian 3: "I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before..." and thats what I want to do this year 2007! Forgetting the past and reaching on to the future with Jesus! Paul also says in the book, [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope] May this ever be our prayer, not to aquire great wealth, great homes and education and popularity among our peers but to KNOW Christ more deeply and more intimately!

May this New Year Be Good, Wonderful and Prosperous for you and your family!
