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. 

Help needed

Our ministry in Kampala, Uganda is in need of a small digital camera. Nothing fancy, doesn't need allot of megapixels. Just something to get some pictures on to promote the ministry there. Please drop me a line if you something cheap and no longer use. If you can help please drop me a line at tim@anchorholdsministries.org


Thank you and God bless.

Important

Greetings all,


I wanted to take a moment and let everyone know that the donation links on our website (www.anchorholdsministries.org) is working now. I set it up through Google Checkout. I went with Google because for non-profit organizations they do not charge any fees to process credit cards. Also, Google is probably the most secure out of all the ones I researched.


As you know or may not know, we are taking donations to help get bibles to people who would otherwise not be able to own one. We have been working with a pastor Isaac in Kampala, Uganda. Pastor Isaac has such a wonderful heart, and he is a true servant of God. Pastor Isaac has planted several churches there in Uganda and that is where their main need is. The churches that he has planted are growing daily and they do not have the funds (remember, these people live on less than two dollars a day and less) to purchase the word of God for all the new believers.We have also been contacted by Pastor Canny O. Canice in Gbagada Lagos, Nigeriawho is experiencing the same growth and is in desperate need of bibles as well.

We can purchase bibles for about $2.00 each, so even a small donation will go a long way. The bible says in John 1:1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The bible truly is the word of God... living, breathing, giving life to all who will open their heart. I have talked with Pastor Isaac on the phone, and I can't tell you what it would mean to the people there to have their own bibles.

So take some time to pray about this and see if this is something that the Lord would have you participate in. Anchor Holds ministries

makes all of its financials available up request.

Thank you for taking the time to read this posting. I know how busy everyone is and I truly appreciate it.
May God bless and keep you always,
Tim

Greetings,

I'm not a happy camper today. I woke up at 10:00am this morning. I feel like my heard is in a fog when I sleep in that many hours... and I also feel like I've slept half my day away and I hate that feeling as well. Oh well, must have needed it. So I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee trying to clear my head and get my thoughts straight for the day.

Yesterday was a good day. I got my website (www.anchorholdsministries.org) set up with the html code to accept donations through Google. I still have to verify a couple of things but I'm hoping by tomorrow evening we can start accepting donations. My pastor friend in Uganda is planning a big revival in a near by town in November and we'd like to get him some bibles to pass out before then. Every time we talk that is his biggest request are bibles. There is a bible outreach right there in Uganda that can supply the bibles for about $2.00 each. Isaac (the pastor) is expecting between 1500 and 2000 people there. Please if you can help him out... just $2.00 will by one bible and that one bible could make all the difference to one persons life who would never be able to own a bible any other way than by someones generosity.

It is such a blessing to talk with people who live on less than $2.00 a day. I know at times in our lives because we experience a little money problems that we feel we are broke (speaking to myself as well)... but we have know idea. They rely on God for everything! I have never seen faith before like I do in these people. They literally live on the Word of God. Another thing that will blow you away about them is how happy they are. They laugh with a laugh that comes from deep in their spirit.

Anyway, I've rattled on enough this morning. If you get the chance, pray about helping get some bibles into the hands of Word starving people. If you feel the Spirit wanting you to help, you can email me (tim@anchorholdsministries.org) or visit our website (www.anchorholdsministries.org). On our website you can visit the Ministries page and find out more about Pastor Isaac.

Thank you and may God bless and keep you always,
Tim
P.S. I'm working on starting up a monthly newsletter as well. I'll keep you posted about that as well.
