To young Marvin Lusaka of Uganda (a recent FB friend)

-

 


An old family photo back in the nineties.(Lauren, Doug, Jordan, Hilary). Married September 21, 1974.


I am using this as a point of contact with a very frank and inquisitive young teenage man. He needs encouragement, a listening ear and supportive suggestions. This blog delivers music, joy, comedy, poetry and Gospel helps. Marvin says that he is not looking for money handouts, rather he would be interested in receiving some Bibles.


I am still waiting for Marvin’s postal address. I will add it to this post once received. Others reading this might want to mail a couple of lightweight Testaments to Marvin. The outcome for him and his Village might just be phenomenal. 


Put it into God’s Hands. (Something like a special written message stuffed into a bottle and tossed out to Sea.)



Image showing Marvin. Big smile, strong back, high hopes. Happily involved in a local church with Pastor Julius Muleme. I think they are looking for help with Bibles. I have no mailing address yet, from either one. That stops it. Maybe small village gets no mail? Here is a helpful you tube audiobook.




I have since heard from Marvin and his Pastor that the Village has no mail service. NONE…WOW!

I sent both men a link to BibleGateway.com      Pastor is Julius Muleme, also on Facebook.





You can use this Bible resource freely, and to great advantage, Marvin. It is important spirit food. It brings on the Mind of Christ. Read Psalm 19…Doug Blair

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.
