ROTOM Friend

Just around the corner and the leaves a 'fallin'! Some of us are asking, "when to go see the Elk a Buglin'?" So, before this season comes to an end, please take a few minutes, grab your favorite beverage and review our Senior Snapshot. This edition provides new website updates such as activities from the 2nd Term of ROTOM School at Maggogo; sharing and celebrating a day for seniors across the globe; and current field updates about Home Visits during COVID to all seniors.  

We would also appreciate your prayers as my wife Sherri and I will be traveling with a team from our church to visit Hawi and ROTOM Ethiopia seniors. We then hope to continue on to Uganda and connect with the staff and seniors there as well in leading up to the Global Fellowship meetings in early December. Thank you for being a blessing to us all!

Sincerely,

Dave Reed,
ROTOM USA Executive Director

Every Home 'Care' Visit Creates Hope 💟

This past year, ROTOM went to the 'streets' where seniors reside and conducted individual outreach or Home Visits to the General Public. Our UG team went out and ministered to villages such as Luwero, Buikwe, and Namuyenje districts reaching 78 people! We would like to testify that during these outreaches, one catholic family was transformed and has started reading the Bible to help them learn more about Jesus Christ.

Senior Departure Has a Happy Ending!

Brace yourself, this senior departure has a happy ending. You’ll even need to grab your tissues!

"I must thank ROTOM for the gift of Lovinsa in my life all these years says Angela H., a ROTOM senior friend. Whatever humble help I was able to send her way, she gave me a hundredfold more in love and friendship! I will cherish her all of my days. I treasured each of her letters and keep them in a special folder. The bond between us is everlasting." she says. Her longtime senior, Lovinsa, recently moved back to her birthplace village to be cared for by relatives and live out her remaining days with them. After a routine ROTOM welfare visit, the team reported that she's doing well and lives in a home updated by ROTOM.

"I pray this next chapter will be filled with joy and beautiful friendships for her. She is one of the kindest, strongest, most Christ-filled people in my life, and I'm forever changed for the better for having known her. I would be delighted to sponsor another senior, and trust ROTOM to pair me with the granny or grandpa of your choosing. It is a great honor to serve these dear ones with you and your team," concludes Angela.
