Pastoral Training Center - Matching Grant Update
We praise God and are so appreciative and thankful to all of you for your prayers and support in our building program for the Pastoral Training Center (the SOS Bible College). As we shared last month, SOS received a matching grant of up to $400,000 from a generous donor. To date we have raised $200,000 toward the match - half way there! These funds will be used to build dorms and other essential facilities to support the Training Center and related ministries.
Over the next several months, SOS will be updating the campus Master Plan to reflect the Training Center facilities (mid February), grading of Training Center buildings and other facilities (June) and construction of Training Center dorms, facilities and essential infrastructure (Fall 2015).
Please continue to pray for this - it has been a tremendous encouragement to see how the Lord continues to provide. Would you consider partnering with SOS in this wonderful opportunity? Every dollar donated is doubled by our generous donor.
Matching Grant period ends on February 28th - five weeks left./

SOS Youth Conference in Kubamitwe !
Hey All SOS Short Term Team Alumni!
Remember school evangelism in Uganda? Remember bumping along those dusty roads in the back of a truck to pull up to a school, prepared with an evangelism presentation and a crazy skit? Those were long days, sometimes hitting 4 schools and 4 sodas in a day! Well, those days have paid off. This past week, we invited students from each of those area schools to a youth conference hosted by our church in Kubamitwe.
Over 150 students showed up, most of whom had never visited our ministry or church. But they were impacted by you. Over the past 6 years, you laid the groundwork, and now we are seeing fruit. After two full days of attentively hearing God's Word, these students are excited to join our first student Bible study, kicking off Friday night, February 6th. Thank you for your role in kingdom work here in Uganda.

But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works. Psalm 73:28
