HEAVENS LIGHT HOUSE NEWS

 Dear Partners & Friends,
Happy Summer! We continue to give out food, clothing, and furniture to a couple of different families. Originally, we met them through our Foundations contact but we have been able to continue a relationship with them and continue to help them when they contact us. Helping with their physical needs gives us the opportunity to share God’s love and generosity and to pray with them. We are still on the lookout for a warehouse for furniture donations but at the moment we have been given another reprieve for when we lose our current one. We don’t even have a date to leave at this moment! God is taking care of us! We also hosted our missionary friend and partner in June as she traveled back to the U.S. to see family and friends. We were able to start to plan our trip to Uganda as well as hang out with her.
We also again went to the Youth Development Center and this time took the Diffusion Dance Co. with us. What a phenomenal time we had as God spoke through dance! They performed two dances with Grace, who leads the group, speaking about God and sharing His gospel in between each dance. Then we all got in a big circle and danced! That was a lot of fun and gave us a great opportunity to laugh and be silly with the kids. One worker said it was so good for them to be silly like that! The dance company were also a great help talking with the kids. We prayed for one of the workers for his knee (he recently had surgery). He felt his knee pain go from 8 to 4 and even though he said he wasn’t going to dance, he did! We were able to pray with one of the boys who told us he was Muslim. We had been trying to talk and pray with him since January! Another girl was given a word of knowledge that she doubted God, she agreed but listened to what God was saying to her. She was encouraged to seek Him anyway! Another child was prayed with in regard to his court date. So many of the kids long to be with their family and frequently ask us to pray with them about their court dates. We love to see the way God talks to these kids and we continue to pray for revival to break out every time we go!
Some of you have asked about our plans for buying land in Uganda. We feel that we are to build a training center where we will have house church but also a place to train people in Bible, missions, finance, and business. We will be partnering with Tree of Hope International and look forward to having a place where short term mission trips can come and minister. We are excited to see what God has planned for us in Uganda! Just as we want people to come alongside of HLH here in York and minister with us we want the same in Uganda. We know this is just the tip of what God has planned and that is a big part of our trip in November. We plan to spend time praying and talking with TOH International and asking God what He has for us to do there.
Changes are coming as we are working on establishing HLH in Pa. We are in the process of finding people to take over all that we do on a daily basis so that HLH will continue on as we travel to Uganda. Angie Folkenroth has agreed to be a member of our board and is also taking on the role of Ministry Coordinator. She will be in charge of our outreach programs such as YDC and other events and ministries that are planned. We are so excited to have her on board again and taking over such a crucial role in HLH. Secondly, Amy Gotwalt has agreed to be our Missions Coordinator so as we start taking more missions teams to Uganda, we will have a liaison in place to help with those trips. We are also looking for monthly partners so that it is easier to budget and plan as we move forward. Do you have a church or small group that would be interested in hearing about HLH? We would love to come share what we do and our vision for the future with them! You can contact Keith to coordinate times and to hear more about HLH coming to your church.
In Christ’s Love,
Keith and Sarah Lindsay
