July 2022
ROTOM Friend

Summer is here and we are excited to share with you all of the happenings here! We want to know what’s been happening in your lives? For me, it has been the busiest year ever, it might be my imagination or a result of the COVID-19 disruption (it’s still here)! We miss hearing from you and why you got involved in ROTOM. We have been digging out older stories as well as new ones about what's happening here and abroad. God is using you in so many different ways to make an impact in the lives of the elderly in Africa as well is the lives of those you come in contact with every day.

As you reflect on the stories and content in this edition of Senior Snapshot, we're especially excited to announce that Christmas in July is here! We pray that you take time to reflect on what ROTOM has meant to you and then drop us a note. Sit back … relax … enjoy … and spread the good news! For God is in control and He holds our future in His hands.

Sincerely,

Dave Reed
Reflections from Uganda: Lives Changed for GOOD Josh & Lindsey Discuss their Impactful Trip

Josh and Lindsey, long-time donors of ROTOM, discovered something remarkable during their trip to Uganda. The impact it made on them was even more life-changing than imagined! We're sharing this story to inspire you! "We foolishly thought we were headed to Uganda to change their world, when in fact, our world has been changed, too."

Love Put into Action: Meet Adrine, the Backbone of Senior Fellowships

Meet Adrine, who is 80 years old. Like many other grandmothers in her Ugandan community, she was a young 62 years old but had lost all hope when she came to ROTOM for help. Poverty, isolation, disease, and the loss of the seniors’ children in their village had become a soul-crushing burden for many of them. 
5 ?'s for Ben Beatty

We’re often motivated by what we’ve experienced on our own generosity journey’s and the stories of others' too.

Ben Beatty, our newest Board Member, shares his personal story.

Faith Through Older Eyes: Vintage Volunteers
By Nancy Parker Brummett originally published in Pikes Peak Senior News Magazine

Recently I was asked to address a group of volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House of Southern Colorado, and I identified what all volunteers need to succeed: Passion, Commitment, and Hope. 

PRAISE REPORT!! We received a wonderful food donation this spring from the Haba Na Haba Food Bank Uganda who generously donated 100 Food Boxes and 100 Bed Covers (including mosquito nets and bedsheets) to ROTOM seniors’ households! Your commitment allows us to offer hope to seniors in Uganda and Ethiopia.

Do you know someone who could get involved? Share your ROTOM story with them today and help us connect all of our seniors with a life-changing friendship. We'd also love to hear from you. Please email us your story of how your friendship has changed your life!
