Your Seeds of Faith Bearing Fruit Earlier this year, Jubilee funded a project in Rwanda through Food For the Hungry. Your offerings were used to fund a solar panel roof for the school building shown above. The panel was very much appreciated by the school Director and the students who were around. It was a dream for them to have and use the electricity at their school, and work until late evening. They keep telling the workers at FFH a very sounding "Thank you". So, "Thank you" too Jubilee World Outreach for having faith and sowing into the lives of the people of Rwanda.
One of our own hears the call and now is back!
The University of Oregon recently accepted a proposal from Keri Bellotti
designating The Navigators, an International Christian organization serving
107 countries, as her senior practicum site.
Their staff in Kazakhstan has requested a team from the Pacific Northwest to
assist in cultivating an international ministry partnership. As part of her eight
month internship, Keri has been accepted to serve on a 30 day, short-term
mission trip there beginning June 25th.
Keri is requesting both prayer and financial support for her journey to
Kazakhstan next month. Please pray for God's will to unfold during this
mission and to prepare the hearts of those on her team, and of the people
in Kazakhstan, to receive all God has in store for them. Pray also for peace,
journey mercies, and sustained strength and health for the entire team
throughout their assignment.
If you are interested in supporting Keri financially, please contact Missions
Director, Diane O'Connor at: 541-912-4645. You can also follow

The Dick Family: Foursquare
Missionaries in Training
The Dicks have been in America for over a year resting, taking care
of their children, serving where they could and processing paperwork
to become credentialed with Foursquare Missions International.
Praise the Lord for them every time you remember them, because they
are brothers and sisters who have risen to the call of GOING...and
that is unique when so often the harvest is plentiful but the
workers are few. Please continue to pray for this bold,
Christ-centered family as they walk out the path that God has laid
before them. Pray for health, provision, wisdom and peace to reign
over their home.
The Salmond Family: Dominican
Republic
Last month Jake and Kyla were in the United States and were able to
stop by Jubilee to share with us about their ministry in the DR. We
also learned that they are getting
ready
for the arrival of another baby! In their current letter Jake
writes, "I don't know if you can imagine the mayhem involved in
taking ten barely pubescent boys camping in the remote mountains of
a jungle island nation, but let me just tell you, it is nuts. One
example occurred when the other trip leader acquiesced and allowed
the guys to bring knives so they could peel oranges that they might
find growing wild near our base camp. Upon arrival, they ran off
into the jungle, knives brandished in search of citrus treasure.
It's a miracle that only one of them returned back to camp that
afternoon with blood running down his hand. Thankfully he didn't
cut himself too deeply in the Floridian fruit frenzy, and we were
able to patch him up quickly for the next nutty adventure." Please
pray that Jake and Kyla can transfer more of the leadership
responsibilities to the local Vida Joven leaders and empower them to
lead on their own. If you would like to hear more about the
adventures that God is orchestrating in the lives of this amazing
family, please visit their website at

Uganda: Pastor Patrick (Christ Vision Ministries)
Christ Vision Ministries Newsletter March - April 2010
On Easter Monday, Christ Vision Ministries held a "Parental Care
Easter Dinner" where orphans and Widows ate, drank, celebrated and
rejoiced in the true love of Christ demonstrated by the Church and
Jubilee, who contributed $100 towards the success of this Banquet.
There were also many widows who celebrated and praised God for
remembering them when they were grieved in their unfortunate
situations, barely able to provide beef or soda for their orphans.
Recently, Pastor Patrick wrote: "I would like also to express our
thanks to our beloved Pastor and his wife Eric and Suzanne Green,
the Eldership and the entire family of Jubilee World Outreach for
supporting my family on a monthly basis and for sponsoring our
Children of Vision and Hope Foundation's orphan care." Please pray
for continued guidance for this ministry and for all who labor for
the Kingdom in Uganda. Also, uphold Pastor Patrick’s family, as his
wife has given birth this month!
