Reminder Right now, we are involved in raising funds for a water-well. This worthy project is about more than water. I truly believe we have a supernatural bond with the village where the well will be dug It’s a God thing!! Stop and think about how dependant you are on water and how difficult life would be without it. There is no doubt that this water-well will transform the lives of every person that drinks from it! Are you a friend of The Father’s Love Int’l Ministries who will join in to help accomplish this act of kindness? I truly hope so! Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. [Ministry needs arise daily, and it’s not practical to have fundraisers for them all. Even small donations can mean a lot to those on the mission field who face medical crises as well as other needs. Please help me help them! We have a policy not to send funds to anyone that we do not first developed a personal relationship. All donations receive thoughtful consideration prior distribution. Thank you for uniting with us and helping those whom God sends us.] Monday, January 11 2016
Grace and peace to you and yours this New Year! So sorry for the late greeting, but my husband and I were traveling to visit his father. Ministry Update: What Did We Do In 2015? Pastor Peter is also planning an ordination service this spring for the leaders at Kyampisi and has asked me to come to pray over those being ordained as well as to speak. Several other pastors have been asking me to come back for several years now. I would love to be able to go, but I can only go if God sends me. If you believe that is the Lord’s will, please contribute to that effort. When God is sending a person to a place, I believe He will make the provision for it. (See Matthew 10:40-42; 25:40) This trip costs about $3000 for airfare, local hotel, travel, phone, and meals. The Father’s Love Int’l also helped a two other schools in Uganda celebrate Christmas. These are people we know well, have personally visited, and have maintained contact. One was in Musisi where my precious “Momma” lived. When I met this woman, Pastor David Okecho’s mother, she and I were instant friends. I learned this past week that she has passed away. I rejoice for her going home to see Jesus face-to-face, but she was the matriarch of 4 generations in that small village, and her passing leaves a big gap. She cared for 15 children that had no one else, and honestly, I don’t know who is caring for them now. When I sent the Christmas money to Pastor David, I received a text back from him. He wrote, “Thank you for loving Momma. Had it not been for you, we had actually gave up for Christmas. May the Lord bless your life and family abundantly. Merry Christmas.” Glory to God! If I had not had donations given to this ministry, I would not have been able to give to theirs! I am so grateful to our loving Father to have been able to bless her last Christmas here on earth. God is so faithful. The other school we helped this year was in Jinja, Uganda with Pastor Fred Mwanje. It is my hope to bless more schools visited. We were able to raise funds for Christian Disaster Response (CDR) to help with the growing crisis of Christian Syrians when they were still in Turkey. This effort helped with needed medical supplies. CDR is an amazing ministry that goes in when things are at their worst. We have one lady who continues to help us to send support to Vertical Life Ministries and The Ebenezer House in Bolivia. I love that we have maintained that connection. We also sent a love offering to Haddon and Sue Minns earlier in the year to help with their ministry efforts in Israel. They are now back in Long Island, Bahamas working to clean up after Hurricane Joaquin. That has been a very difficult effort. The hurricane gained strength just before hitting the narrow Island head-on. The south end, where Haddon and Sue’s ministry is based, was hit the hardest. This many months later, they just now got their internet back! Please keep them in prayer. If you want to help, I will send them all donations sent in for them (see website’s home page). I know it would be deeply appreciated. Book Update: Let Us Seek His Face! In the Father’s love, P.S. I forgot about the water well, but you can read about that below. As we prepare for Christmas, please remember us in your giving. The Christmas Dinner outreach in Kyampisi, Uganda has brought hundreds to the Lord and the region, which was once steeped in ritualistic witchcraft, is now enjoying godly transformation! We are so thankful for this, but do not want to rest on our laurels. So please, send a donation today so the leaders there can better plan this wonderful community event. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.

Mission Update: Project Water Well – A Prophetic Connection! Even before I saw children in Uganda trying to collect filthy water from the ditches, I have wanted to see clean water available to those who do not have it. In 2009, because of God’s favor, I was able to distribute 1,000 LifeStraws™ to Ugandan schoolchildren. Then just before Christmas 2010, my firsthand account of Pastor Peter Sewakiryanga’s work in the village of Kyampisi swayed the Rotary Club of Fort Lauderdale to build a water-well there. I cannot describe the JOY that filled my heart when I heard that news! Glory to God!!! So you can imagine my excitement when my pastor, Scott Westbrook of Riverstone Church, recently shared a project to raise $4,800 for a water-well! As he was describing it to the congregation, I wondered if the friends of The Father’s Love Int’l Ministries would join in to help accomplish this act of kindness. Once the funds come in for this project, the ministry who commissions the digging of the wells will then let us know its location. Here is what I am seeing prophetically through this united effort: I believe God is going to connection us to a community that we don’t yet know! It is my prayer that you will join in this effort, and then watch and see what the Lord does through it. Let me leave you with this sweet testimony. One of the women at Riverstone Church shared how her eight-year old son proudly gave her 7 pennies for the project. He announced, “The water-well can now be built!” His mother explained it would take more than 7 pennies, but the best thing for him to do was to pray and ask God how much he was to give. (I love her wisdom!) He came back later with his piggy bank in hand and reported the Lord said to give it all. The boy then told his five-year old sister, “It feels SO GOOD to give so that other children can have clean water!” She in turn brought her piggy bank to her mom and gave her the money she had been saving for a toy. As she shared, I don’t think there wasn’t a dry eye in the church. It’s no wonder that Jesus urges us to come to Him as a child! My question is simple; will you do as these children did and ask God if you are to help with this village’s miracle? If the Lord asks you help with the building of this water-well, please go to www.thefathersloveim.org to give through PayPal with a credit or debit card. If you prefer to send a check or money order, mail it to The Fathers Love Int’l, PO Box 1573, Buford, GA, 30542. Please memo “water.” Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. I hope to hear from you soon! In the Father’s love, Tuesday, June 02 2015
Ministry Update:
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. Tuesday, April 14 2015
Let’s Reveal The Father’s Love! We have heard for over a year how ISIS (ISIL) has been on the attack against Christians in Syria, Turkey, Iraq and other regions in the Middle East. Our brethren have had to flee to the mountains and have received very little help. If these Christians (many who watched in horror as their children and other family members be tortured and sacrificed in front of them), have been on your heart, we have a ministry contact that is on the ground helping them. Please prayerfully give a donation to help these Christians who are in tribulation and are suffering greatly for their faith. 100% of your gift will be given for the purpose. Dr. Ron Patterson at CDR wrote, “I have returned from the Middle East after seeing firsthand the true face of Islam, and it is evil… Christians and minority Kurds are being slaughtered daily… Not so long ago there were hundreds of thousands of Christians in Iraq. Now Christians are hiding in three locations and they need emergency assistance. Only a very few Christian Relief Organizations are providing aid and they need our help.” Please – help me help them! As the apostle Paul taught, when one part of the body hurts, the whole body hurts and all suffer with it; but if one is honored, all members rejoice. (1 Cor 1:26 paraphrased) Please help me to honor our displaced brethren, and honor the lives of the 21 Christians we saw publicly beheaded by ISIS. Together, let’s help equip the response team there! You may give your tax-deductible donation through PayPal online at www.thefathersloveim.org, or you may send a check or money order to: The Father’s Love Int’l Ministries Please memo the donation “ISIS Refugees” and know that 100% of all funds collected for this effort will be sent to the Disaster Relief fund and used exclusively for this purpose. Thank you so much for your thoughtful consideration. In the Father’s love, Thursday, December 25 2014
Please forgive this delayed update. I appreciate all the precious notes I received and prayers lifted up for my brother’s family and for me. I want to get back to you individually, but I have been a bit overwhelmed. I have wrestled with this personal loss, but God has been good to minister to me. He does comfort those who mourn and I know your prayers were instrumental in that comfort. Thank you! As the Lord told Joshua, after Moses had been dead for 30 days, it was time to cross the river. It is time to cross the river and take the land that God has given us. The Father’s love will change the landscape of what is going on around us. I see many are frightened by everyday news, but I am here to tell you that God is not surprised by any of it! In fact, Jesus warned us that tribulation would come. He Himself, along with Paul, John, Peter, James, and Jude gave us instructions on how to get through it all and get under the mission of God. (Submit!) Our Father is not surprised or shocked by ANYTHING happening in the world right now. Therefore, when we feel fear, when we are in need, we need to go boldly to the Throne of Grace and see what is happening from God’s perspective. This is the perspective of heaven and when we have it, we will be confident that we are more than conquerors! We will know what He is telling us to do about it. (See Hebrews 4:14-16; Romans 8:37) Amen! Again, thank you for praying for me and for the ministry, and thank you for your thoughtful contribution. The Father’s Love Int’l Ministries, Inc.

“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:18 Just now I received an urgent request for funds to transport 300 children who were abducted from Uganda and taken to a neighboring country. These children were rescued 5 days ago and they are just waiting for help. We only need $150 to get them home! Any addition funds that come in will be sent for their needs (i.e.: food, water, medical care). Please, please – help me help these children! Go to www.thefathersloveim.org to give through PayPal. May we be the hands and feet of Jesus! *Photo of Ugandan children I have met. Can you imagine 300 of them just waiting? Please help! Tuesday, July 01 2014
Here is the latest: Book News: The Father’s Love Int’l Ministries May the Father greatly bless you for standing with us as we stand with others in need. Facebook: Sincerely your sister and co-laborer in Christ Jesus, Tuesday, July 23 2013
The Father’s Love Mission’s Update “Jewels from the River” is now in the hands of the publisher. I will make an announcement when it’s available. Everything comes forth in its proper season! How the Lord is going to use the encounters with Him, which I share in this book, is a mystery to me, but I know He has a plan. The only thing God requires of any of us is to say, “Yes, Lord!” In the meantime, I continue to seek God’s will, share what the Holy Spirit reveals, and stand with Pastor Peter in Uganda. By the way, both children (George and Allan) are doing very well after their reconstructive surgeries’. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. The Lord has been kind to give me a glimpse for the ministry, and I believe there will be a mission trip yet this year. The directive the Lord gave to ‘Clean the Wells of Your Inheritance’ is still very much on my mind and in my heart. This has led me to look into my European roots and specifically my Welsh heritage. It is peculiar to me that the Lord took me to Israel to show the importance of that legacy! The Holy Spirit also gave a word that the Church is in a season where we need to “PREPARE” for the wave to come. ‘Cleaning the Wells’ is vital to that preparation. If you would like to read those two words, please visit: If you believe the Father is calling you to work in partnership with me, you can donate through PayPal online at www.thefathersloveim.org. 100% of contributions received go directly to the work of the ministry. You may also send a check or money order to: The Father’s Love International Ministries Blessings in the Father’s love, P.S. After writing this newsletter, I decided to look up and read about the Welsh Revival. You can imagine my utter shock when I came upon an article in Charisma Magazine about Redigging the Wells of the Welsh Revival! I was in Israel the same year this pastor and his team traveled to Wales, but this article was published the day after my birthday this year! What a wonderful gift!!! (Thank You for the confirmation, Father! You bring all things together in perfect timing.)
