“This is the last time we are moving in this country, ever!!” This declaration came from both Keith and I as we loaded up our cars, locked our sweet rental house in Jinja and prepared to drive back to Gulu.

After 15 years of living here, several families that worked with us for a time and then left, we have accumulated a lot of stuff!! “Why do we need all this stuff?”

Those were declared in times of fatigue, and exhaustion, but bottom line is we praise God for His provisions of the resources we use and share here in Uganda.

We are now residing at the Educator Development Institute. When we renovated it several years ago, we made one office room and a closet into a bedroom and bathroom so that we could stay there when we were teaching late into the evening. Now we have claimed one more office room and closed in a foyer to make a living room and kitchen. A small apartment inside the EDI.

 Closet into a bathroom

       Office into a bedroom 
 Corner of foyer into a kitchen

 Office into a living room                                        


We enjoyed living the last year and half in Jinja. We met many new people who have become dear to us, rekindled and grew deeper relationships with others we have known for years, and we worshiped at Acacia Community Church and grew stronger with that family of believers. We will miss them all so much, but the work in the North calls us back home to Gulu.

The joyful task before us?
 Finish the Roots to Fruits Christian Curriculum and train Trainers for instructing and ongoing professional development of teachers in using the curriculum.

We have struggled to adequately express the importance of the RtF curriculum. Then the Lord gave us a great branding for helping you all help us in this work for Him:

Jesus told the well know parable of the sower and seeds, to illustrate the importance of fertile soil. The Roots to Fruits curriculum used in schools all over Africa will be to the teachers like fertilizer and mulch, preparing the soil for the seed so that when God sows the seed it will take root and never cease to produce fruit.

We need your help! Please pray.
We will be traveling to the U.S. on October 1st and will be there for 3 months. We would love to visit with as many of you as possible. Please contact us by email klcoggin@gmail.com so we can organize our calendar.

    I can only plant a SEED: YOU and GOD must make it grow and He gives everyone free will to Believe anything they want.

    My prayer request: I pray that God will give everyone there; eyes to see and ears to hear, knowledge and wisdom in understanding the Holy Words of the Almighty God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Time is short !!!

    What’s going on in this World? Most of cain’s descendants (kenites) are here.

    Zechariah 14, V2: For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
    Google EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse): Electrical (computers, cars, electricity, etc) will not work.

    The Temple was built about approx 20 years ago for the anti-christ and it is setting on that Rock, just waiting for the anti-christ. The Stock Market (Europe) will crash and the EU was formed with 10 Nations (then there was 13 an now 19) and will go belly up (bankrupt), then the deadly wound of the 10 Nations comes into play.
    Revelation 12. V9: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out unto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. There will be World Peace for 3 ½ days (Daniel 9, V27).

    My KJV Bible talks about three (3) Generations (40th 70th 120th). If we are in the 70th Generation (Parable of the Fig Tree): Psalms 90, V10 The days of our years are threescore (60) years and ten (10); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away (Spiritual Body).

    Revelation 3, V10: Because you have kept the Word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation (arrival of satan, the anti-christ in Israel), which shall come upon all the world, to try them who dwell upon the earth.

    Note: If you believe in the Rapture Myth (Man’s Tradition) and want to be the first to go (two in the field working), you will worship the anti-christ.
    II Thessalonians 2, V11: And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
    Matthew 7, V23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity. Those written in the Book of Life of the Lamb will be blotted out.

    Revelation 22, V21: The Grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen …

Greetings from Uganda, We would like to reconnect with all of you who will receive this letter from us. For many years we sent email updates to you, until the advance in technology decided that bulk emails were spam. We tried to advance with the social media scene, but began to realize that we have somehow lost touch with many of you. So we learned a new way to get our email update back out. We will be in the U.S. from Dec.29- Mar.30. Please contact us it you would like for us to visit you to share more about what we are doing here. If some of you do not want to receive our updates, just let us know and we will remove you from our list. But, we want to thank you for the past years that you have been connected with us. Also, we would really like to hear from you. When we ask you to pray for us, please also allow us the privilege of praying for you. We are still serving the Lord here in Uganda. The vision has always been, and still is

Our Call Missions Visit to the Village Learning Center         September 2017 Although the drive to the Village of Latordore is long, (3 hours from Gulu), it is always an uplifting experience to visit the Village Learning Centers. After reaching the town of Kitgum, we turn onto a dirt road for the next hour. As we pass through each trading center along the way, memories return of the time when there were IDP camps during the LRA war. We thank God for the development and that lives seem more normal now.   I use the word ‘seem’ because daily movements and activities do not depict what is going on in the hearts and minds of people. Over 20 years of living through that horrible war where children were abducted and murder and rape were common, leaves deep worldview shifts and scars. Thus our mission in teaching children the truth of God’s word and introducing them to Jesus through their daily school curriculum, thereby helping to shape a Biblical worldview in them. We turn

Letter for Support #1

Dear Facebook friends, For the last several years, we and the ministry in Uganda, have gone through many changes. That’s a very broad statement and all these changes are too many to explain, so let’s just skip down to the time we have been back in the United States. When we changed our residence from Uganda to Alabama in October of 2019, the call to create and develop Roots to Fruits Christian Curriculum (R2F) for African schools did not change. In fact, we believe that the Lord called us back so we could gain a larger team to work together to complete it and distribute it. At present, we work with the R2F Missionaries team in Uganda, who are Therese Macfarlane, Cathy Morris and Karen Odel. Also, the Ugandan teacher trainers for R2F, Joseph and Daniel. The team in the United States are the prayer supporters, financial supporters, and writers, Rachel Kolb, Kelly Kremkau, and the format/editor—Belinda Brown. We are asking the Lord to add more
