Uganda update

Things here at Anchor Holds Ministries are moving fast. I just received an email from our lead pastor in Kampala, Uganda. They are moving forward in faith and building an orphanage and school there. We have 7 pastors there in the region and they are all working together to build His church up and see the love of Christ shared with all the people there. This new building is not free, they need $700.00 for the 20,000.00 bricks it will take to build orphanage and school. I know $700 does not sound like much, but remember the exchange rate 700 US Dollar = 2,016,000 Uganda Shillins. We will be posting pictures very soon of the project... the pictures will be on our Africa missions website at www.ahm-africa.org

Please keep us in your prayers. If you feel God leading you towards helping out financially, you can contribute online from our websites www.anchorholdsministries.org and www.ahm-africa.org. You can also send a check or Money Order to our mailing address listed on those same sites. Like we always say here at Anchor Holds Ministries, don't just go to church... be the church.

May God bless you all and keep you safe and well.

Update on Brittany 9/30/2010

The family has wanted to keep everything that has been going on private, so I've not been posting anything about Brittany's progress... until now.

Brittany is already home and doing amazing. She still has lots of therapy to go through, but she is expected to make a full recovery. From where this all started, to where she is now is nothing short of a miracle. I've heard some say it was the doctors, others have said, it was Brittany's love of life and amazing spirit that has been the driving force behind her amazing recovery. Maybe it was a little of everything. But for me, this kind of healing only comes from one source... Our Creator. Thank you Lord for the miraculous healing of Brittany... truly amazing.

Blessings to you all

Please pray

My niece was in a horrible motorcycle accident last night 08/29/2011...  she is in really bad shape. Her name is Brittany and she could really use our prayers. There was another young woman riding on the back with her that needs our prayers as well. I'm trying to get her name...   thank you for your help. May God bless you...

Thank you and may God bless and keep you always. Here is his letter...

Praise God pastor Tim,
 Greetings  from the ministries here in Uganda.  Your partnership and strong heart toward Africa has empowered us  and even in the hardest time you have be more than willingly to stand with us . you are not all very rich But  i thank god  that even the little you have , you have be able to share with us. Your open heart  to help and support the ministries here is unforgettable and it will live forever. Allow me now to introduced to you what we have named the Anchor Hold Master Plan  for the minister growth and developed .
  CHURCH BUILDING , We as leaders here have agreed that in the coming month of November & December are know for rainfall, so our members in the remote area/ villages will dig the soils that will be used in the next year to make bricks  . we want by may next year2012 to have all the needed  bricks so as to up grade our churches especially those in poor situation.

PASTOR'S HOUSE , it is very true that most of our pastors in the villages are staying in the huts we as the Anchor Hold we want to put end to this and we have argued the the flock & even i may self will go there in the November for 1 week to start the program of making bricks such that as we build the house of God  the pastors too may be built . i know it requires money but  by faith will have them build we will only buy cement & the irohsheets . but this will take us some 4years to be done with it.
  
FIGHTING POVERTY FROM THE FLOCK, as the apostle Paul said the the acts 20 to feed  the flock We will next  year  start to buy  the improved& quick maturing  seed with the little money we have to give the to our sheep in the village so as to improve on the production as most of them are substance farmers who only grow for food and the little surplus is sold off . we think that by doing this their standard of living will be lifted up . it will be the work of the pastors over there monitor these. Pr.Tim , our people are very people  and i think this will work out.
  Still more on this Anchor Hold ministries  will also have hire the land and grow some crops by doing so it will be alive example to our people to fight poverty and also get or increase the funds for the ministries still it will be employing the very people to do the work , because commercial farming here can yield a lot of money if the need equipments & seed are used.

MEDICAL OUT REACH. in Africa  and the third world at large there is poor healthy facilities and few people have access to  it,  We have this plan also to reach out people through this & our  leaders have been crying for this . as we cloth the people through CAP, we need this i personally i do not how we should do it but the good Lord will give us power & wisdom it . do not fear this , because the master plan is not filled in one year but it takes time  so we have decided to plan for this.
 
 ACQUIRING LAND. most of our churches are renting part from the 2 which have got the land , the least are landless only scatters but we believe God and we have confidence that it will come to pass " before God we will do "
lastly is the schools,  this the only door to reach to the children and the parents as well . God bless you. Nsanja Isaac    Anchor Hold ministries Uganda.

Into the sunset


Today was the last launch of our space shuttle missions. As I watched the launch I couldn't help but think back over the 50 years of my life at all the success and failures of our space program. No matter what happened, success or failure, the true American spirit always shown through in the end. Even though today was the last launch, it's not the end of Americans in space. We will continue to go into space, but for now we will be hitching rides into space with the Russians. That just seems a little strange to me.

We've learned allot from our space program, but more important, was what the space program meant to America. Space exploration embodied the American spirit. Just like the opening dialogue from the original Star Trek TV show... “To boldly go where no man has gone before” . That was us, the American people. An adventurous spirit that couldn't be tamed.

Granted the space program had a very high price to keep running. You always had the argument that with three quarters of the earths population living on less than $3.00 a day, the money could have been used for something better. That may be true, but I think what the space program gave us in return was so much more than what money could by. The space program inspired generations of kids who all grew up to become scientist, and its those scientists who have discovered and created some amazing things.
I would be writing for a couple of days if I included everything... but here are a few...
As you can see, some pretty amazing technology. I'm sure we will be back in space again one day soon. But for now, we will be hitching a ride to get there.

A little more of the America I knew has disappeared into the sunset.
Thank you NASA for the imagination inspiring missions you took us all on.

Legislating the poor

“Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. And what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government can’t give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody. And when half of the people get the idea they don’t have to work because the other half’s going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody’s going to get what I work for. That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation.” -Adrian Rogers

New Day

Think about it... when you woke up this morning, you woke up to a brand new day. Yesterday is dead and gone. You can't change what happened yesterday. If it was a good day, treasure the memories... if it was a bad day, put it all behind you, learn from your mistakes and move on. So take this new day by the horns and ride it for all you can get.

Remember to tell those you love, how much you love them. Help someone along the way... I say this because it's not only what God wants us to do, but in recent years science has proven we are wired to help others. We are our brothers keeper !!

May God bless and keep you always
Tim
