Greetings!
This mid-month letter from Usher International is to enlist the help of our friends and partners as we prepare for a 2.5 week mission to Uganda in September. This is an especially strategic opportunity as we go to minister in schools, hospitals, prisons and to have a part in establishing two new churches.
Usher International is a faith ministry that is 100% dependent upon gifts from God's people to carry out the work of proclaiming the Gospel, equipping leaders and serving the needy. We are asking you to prayerfully consider the following needs and help us cover the immediate costs, as you are able.
I will be leaving for Haiti with a small team the middle of June and then, as God supplies the funds, will head to Uganda in July to prepare for the September mission - holding Pastor's planning meetings, securing housing, conducting a Pastor's training, etc.
Your one time or recurring gifts are needed before I leave for Haiti in order to make the July trip to Uganda and make preparations for September.
Needs:
July trip to Uganda $3200 -- Randy's flight and in country expenses - Pastor's workshop, mission preparations for September team, Pastor's planning meetings
September Mission to Uganda $4,000 - Randy's flight and in country expenses - leading team of ten for 2.5 weeks ministering in prisons, hospitals, schools, villages, churches.
September mission supplies - $4,000 Bibles, hygiene kits, malaria nets, school supplies, etc.
Pastor's conference- $3500
near Congo in Kihihi - 2 days with up to 500 leaders
Thank you in advance for your partnership in funding and praying for these strategic mission activities. |

Additional Opportunity!
Lira Uganda Prison Ministry - Pastor James Okori
|
We would also like to help provide Bibles and Discipleship Booklets to support our brother in Lira Uganda who now has a ministry to 600 inmates in Lira Prison.
The Lord opened the door to allow Pastor James Okori to minister there after he himself spent 7 months there for being unable to pay exhorbitant interest on some money he previously owed when a fire burned down his business.
God has opened the door - let's find a way to help with materials.
Costs -
- $8 per Bible in Lango language
- $5 needed for Hygiene kits (soap, shaving kits, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.)
- $5 for Discipleship materials
If you would like to help with this project - please specify, Lira Project when you give.

A Word of Encouragement
"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them.
And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.
We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
2 Cor 5:18-21 - NIV
