Dear friends,
So many things to be grateful for…. another year of seeing God’s love and care in our lives. Through sickness to health, and many other struggles, He has been faithful! Thank you dear friends for staying with us through the difficulties we’ve faced this past year! Never a dull moment!
Successful Cataract Removal Surgery
Nick had two successful surgeries in November. The first time since he was 12 years old living without glasses. Grateful again for competent doctors and God’s healing!
Facilities Upgrade For More Residential Training
A new septic system, new rooms for male students, the upgrade to our training facilities is taking place. We plan to offer four 10-week certificate courses in 2026 with numerous shorter courses, farm tours and events. The following courses are for youth and young adults 18-29 years of age and is open to international students.
* Certificate in Agroecology
* Certificate in Agroforestry and Nursery Management
* Certificate in Animal Husbandry & Sustainable Nutrition
* Certificate in Agribusiness Management
The four combined courses will lead to a Genesis Agroecology Leadership Training Certificate.
Equiping youth and farmers with new skills leading to positive change in communities is our goal. Focusing on head, heart and hands… a wholistic approach with our practical courses.
Lots of variety needed for an agriculture training farm – newborn triplet kids, a loaded jackfruit tree, breadfruit… from tree to pancakes, nursery, cocoa tree, macadamia nuts, drying bsf, drying azolla & duckweed
Elections in January
We ask for prayer for safety for all in the country especially for the next month as elections will held. President Museveni has been in power since 1986 and looks to govern for at least another five years. Some expatriates choose to leave Uganda during this season. We will stay and keep a low profile. Very little gets done when its election time… for many months leading up to election week. Things should open up again by February.
Thanksgiving and Prayer
* Thank our healer God for restoration of health in 2025
* Thanks for supportive, loving family & friends
* Thanks for your financial gifts to plant trees, train young people, provide jobs to young people
* Prayer for the nation of Uganda as it enters another election season. President Museveni has held power for 40 years and is running again. Pray for peace, protection and God’s purposes to prevail.
* Prayer for our Training Project – finances needed for infrastructure improvements to our facilities
* For our personal support – Thank you to those who continue to assist us monthly.
With grateful hearts,
Nick & Cheryl
