2021-11-02 Food Drive to give relief to those suffering from lockdowns
FOOD SUPPORT TO URANTIA IBANDA FELLOWSHIP MEMBERS.
COVID 19 greatly affected Uganda and largely the rural places, Uganda has been under total lockdown for the last 8 months this year, schools have been closed for 77 weeks now. It has been really hard time for everyone, people have not been allowed to work hence no income for taking care of their daily expenses, the world has been a hard place to live in for the past 2 years due to the pandemic, however we always stand on our heavenly Father's promises.
Urantia Ibanda fellowships have 8 urantia study groups so far in number and about 80 members in total, male, female, young and old they meet twice in the week to study the truth book and getting much to know about themselves, Its one way of strengthening brotherhood. For the past 5 weeks we have seen these members grow in faith and welcoming the truth book in order to find out what our heavenly father’s purpose for the universe. They have learnt where the religions started from, why and how, they have come up with different questions from the study and most of questions have been attended to by Sister Monica Kemp which has continued to strengthen the faith of members.
ON 2021-10th October The Way The truth and life services foundation conducted a visit to several groups to assess how groups were progressing the feedback was good and surprising to how these groups had welcomed the Urantia fellowships in different regions. Some of groups had started to compose songs from urantia book, which was really encouraging, Margaret and Johnprosper have so far released several songs however they are still looking for funds to video out the songs!

We later discussed the social life with them to how they were living since we wanted to move our fellowships in their homes, we visited some homes that we later discovered that most people were affected by COVID 19 challenges and mostly they were living on a single meal per day. This forced us to plan and budget for the food that was needed. We sent the email to Paul kemp who has really done a great job to help people under the urantia umbrella in Africa especially in Uganda. He welcomed the idea of helping out people with food, he later created a food drive fundraiser that attracted good hearted people to donate some food. The food was procured, and several families were given food up to date 60 families were helped and we are thankful for God’s sufficient provision and thankful to every one that reached out to help.
You can’t imagine to how many smiles that you have put on people’s faces. We are thankful for the good hearts God gave you. The campaign is still ongoing it takes a heart to give, and the heavenly rewards awaits.
That is the manifestation of Godly love, Mortal man cannot possibly know the infinitude of the heavenly Father. Finite mind cannot think through such an absolute truth or fact. But this same finite human being can actually feel—literally experience—the full and undiminished impact of such an infinite Father's LOVE. Such a love can be truly experienced, albeit while quality of experience is unlimited, quantity of such an experience is strictly limited by the human capacity for spiritual receptivity and by the associated capacity to love the Father in return. ~ The Urantia Book, 3:4:6
The Christmas season is approaching we encourage everyone to share love with less privileged by giving.
I quote one of the leaders that received food for her people, Margaret says that her group members lacked what to eat but they have always prayed for provision and God did it. They are all happy and encouraged in faith.
We really appreciate Brother Paul, Sister Monica kemp and SFN family that has been so helpful and resourceful for these fellowships and support.
So many testimonies are coming up and everyone has been encouraged.
We are currently in need of a motorcycle to ease transportation in long distances, to ease weekly visits to those groups and fellowship with them.
Blessings,
The Way the Truth and life Services Foundation.
