On Friday I had a meeting with 20 parents who have children who are slow learners and those who have problems. The parents were very happy because their children were telling them how you played ball with them to check on their physical problems. Some parents have been calling me in order to know what you found. I explained what you discovered and I encouraged them that the children will be okay, that it is a matter of being patient with them and encourage them. They asked me to say thank you for the time you invested in their children without asking them for money. And I showed them the results you wrote, so they said thank you very much and that they wish you would come again to see how they are doing. Our meeting was for four hours and we shared much about these children.
May the Almighty God bless you so much.

Dear Gap Partners, We want to say thank you very much for your support which you gave to these four people so that they could come to Uganda and be with kids of the God is Good Primary School. It was amazing to see the way these two men and two women cooperated with the teachers and school directors for these eight days. This group di not rest even a single day; they worked so commitedly like God’s sent and they left a very remarkable impact in our village. My appreciation to them. |

Our last day began with a trip to the pharmacy. Wilson used to work for an Indian man who owned a pharmacy downtown. We purchased enough malaria medication to get the team to Uganda, then purchased enough for the duration of a trip once we arrived. You can't beat $0.05 per pill! |

This morning we stayed at the guest house while Wilson went into work for a few hours. That gave Trevor time to complete his document related to the 22 students he assessed. The guest house has a binder, so he put together a 14 page document/book that included the issues for each child and practical suggestions on how to help that child to improve in the classroom. Carrie also put together a book of exercises that can help those students with writing to practice their letters. Wilson can use this book as an original that he can take to get photocopied so they can continue to use these exercises in the future. |

Our Mission
God looked for someone to stand “in the gap” on behalf of people in great need. Instead, God found a conspiracy of extortion, oppression, and injustice (Ezekiel 22:29-30). GAP International, in contrast, seeks to ... - motivate people to generosity,
- humbly serve the marginalized and disenfranchised,
- make room for others through hospitality and compassionate care.
We are compelled to be persons of reconciliation in gratitude for Jesus’ love for us (2 Corinthians 5:14, 20).
GAP International was founded as a Great Commission response to the Great Commandment: love God and neighbor (Luke 10:27). As an expression of love for God, GAP International will love others and embody the gospel of Jesus Christ by building bridges between persons so that skills and resources are shared with those who have a vision to meet the needs of people in their communities.

We will not be alone, for He will be with us. His resources, His wisdom, His courage, His strength and His love will be ours. Whom God calls, He enables; whom God sends, He equips. ~George Duncan |
