Garage Sale Successful!

We held our Bukasa garage sale last Saturday.  Many of the items and much of the furniture offered was Deanne's dad's, he passed away on September 20th.  He was very supportive of our Bukasa ministry and would have been please that he could benefit our worthy cause even to the very end.  In fact, he was one of our first supporters to sponsor a student.  A few weeks before his death he made sure to let me know that he wanted to continue the sponsorship for another year- thank you Papa George!
So, for the 30th time, we filled up the front yard and driveway with donated items and set our goal of earning at least $1000.  With the slow strart and, as it turned out, a slow day we were unsure whether we would make more than $500.  But the Lord is faithful to this ministry, as He has shown all along, and we ended up at noon with $870!  We still have a recliner, a dresser, and assorted original framed art  pieces to sell on Craig's List, so the final amount could be significantly more.  All funds will go toward helping Pastor George finish his goal of completing the second story classroom, office, and latrine.
Just wanted to share our good news with you and thank you for your donations, contributions, encouragement and prayers.
A special thanks to Michael and Susan Barrett, and Sophia Beccue who helped set up on Friday; to Anna Zepeda who helped sell all morning; and to Phil Beccue who happily volunteered some time selling, then came back at the end of the day to clean-up and pack away all the left-overs.  Many thanks to all!

Rent Covered/Garage Sale Sat, Oct.18

Dear Supporters-
          As you know from my last posting Pastor George and his family were renting a house in the village which was sold recently by the owner.  Another property was located but a deposit of 3 months rent was required to move in.  The good news is, because of your on-going loyalty and generous support we were able to provide funds for the students you sponsor as well as to help Pastor George with the rental deposit.  Thank you so much!
          Saturday October 18, is our next garage sale.  We need your  helping hands to set up on Friday, 10/17, from 1-4 pm.  And if you are available on Saturday, we could use your help in selling items, promoting our cause for Bukasa School, and cleaning up afterwards.  Plus we would enjoy hanging out with you- we'll provide the coffee and banana bread!  The sale will run from 7 am-12 noon.  We will welcome any amount of time you can offer.  Call me with any questions: 805-492-4020.

URGENT!

I just received news from Pastor George about his living situation.  The house he is currently renting has been sold and the new owners have given him until October 31 to move out.  In Uganda, when acquiring rental property, three months rent is required up front.  To Pastor George, this cost will amount to $700.  Can you help in some small way with a donation of $10-$100 to help make this move possible?  If the Holy Spirit is nudging you please send your tax-deductible contribution to:
