Happy Easter!

We wish you all a very happy Easter!  May you be freshly aware of the great hope we have in God.  We can trust the heart of the One who gave himself for the forgiveness of our sins…and we have great hope because of the triumph of life over death on Easter morning!  This is what our ministry here in Uganda is all about…bringing this hope to others in a holistic way. Sometimes this hope is blurred and hard to see in the world we live in…but it is real.

Can you see our ‘Easter eggs’ here?  These eggs are camouflaged quite well, and we could have easily missed them as we walked through the grass here.

This reminds me of how sometimes we can easily miss or ignore the reality of what God is doing in this world when we are busy focusing on the troubles instead of acknowledging the many miracles that happen every day. We see hope revived in many children’s lives as they come to realise the love of God for them. We see teachers becoming excited to realise that they can be society changers  as they teach students from a biblical perspective. We see site workers coming to know Christ as saviour and leaving behind their lives of misery and alcoholism. These are Easter miracles!

…And we see the beauty of God’s creation all around us.  Stay posted to see some more photos of the magnificent bird life we enjoy at the Timothy Centre every day.  Below is just a taste…these are the Senegal plovers who laid our “Easter eggs'’.

There is one pair watching over their next of eggs and another pair caring for their news hatched young ones.
