Christmas in Kampala






Yesterday we went to celebrate and share the story of Christmas with the house church in Biina. What a blessing this group of believers is to our family! We were welcomed with a HUGE downpour, as you can see in the picture. It was wet, wet, wet and cold. There were several in the group that were unable to make it because of the rain, but it would take more than this mini flood to keep us from celebrating the birth of Jesus.
We passed out GOD LOVES YOU coloring books, crayons and "sweeties" (candy) to the children and most adults! Then Andrew read the story of Jesus' birth from Luke. What a joy it was to watch the children as they listened to the amazing story of our Savior's birth. We discussed the true meaning of the season and how we need to share the hope we have in Jesus Christ with others.
This group is a living testament to the faith, hope and love we have in Christ. There is a lot to be thankful for this year as we look forward to 2010. We have grown in love, knowledge of the Word and in size. We have a new addition as you can see in the picture, this beautiful baby girl was born about 3 weeks ago. What a blessing to the group and her family. We are still waiting on a name!
Praise God for Jjaja Esther and this group of believers that meet each week! Pray for them as they battle with health issues, lack of jobs and daily living. Even in the midst of their daily struggles they are a light unto their community. Pray that they will continue to share the love of Jesus with their neighbors, family and friends. Pray for Charles, as he has come to be a leader of this group. May God bless him with guidance and direction as he seeks to learn and grow in his faith.
Mukama ye bazibwe! Praise the Lord!

The firm provides a single [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/ho-chi-minh/]mua hang gia re[/url] for every operating working day in every single of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon operates as an assurance settlement employing ThePoint's system: if a specified amount of individuals sign up for the offer you you, then the deal turns into provided to all if the predetermined least is not fulfilled, no a single receives the deal that functioning working day. This lowers threat for stores, who can consider care of the price reduction codes as quantity discount rates as effectively as income marketing instruments. Groupon will help make money by retaining around fifty % the funds the client pays for the coupon.

For scenario in point, an $eighty therapeutic therapeutic massage could be acquired by the customer for $forty by means of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would break up the $forty. That is, the retailer supplies a therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and gets roughly $twenty from Groupon for it (below a fifty%/50% crack up). Or, if $240 well well worth of residence portray providers is acquired by the consumer for $fifty by way of Groupon, then the business receives $twenty five and Groupon keeps $twenty 5. The buyer will get the massage, or the house painting service, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they originally compensated out $forty (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are particular corporations to which Groupon initially did not provide its options, such as capturing ranges and strip golf equipment even so, taking pictures ranges have been showcased on Groupon.

In distinction to categorised marketing, the services provider does not commit any upfront price to take part: Groupon collects private info from inclined customers and then contacts only people customers, largely by day-to-working day e mail, who could maybe be intrigued in a specific items or companies.

Groupon employs a big amount of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains highlighted by e-mail and on the internet site. Groupon's advertising textual content for the 'deals' has been noticed as a contributing element to the acceptance of the net internet site, showcasing a exceptional blend of complete simple truth-checking and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's market place spot currently being primarily composed of female consumers, the bargains are usually qualified on the wellness, physical fitness and elegance markets.

There are prospective difficulties with the organization model. For illustration, a lucrative deal could briefly swamp a small company with way also numerous clients, jeopardizing a chance that clients will be dissatisfied, or that there won't be sufficient item to meet up with up with the demand from clients. Gap, a huge garments retailer, was prepared to offer with 445,000 coupon codes in a nationwide offer (although it skilled server issues at a single place), but a smaller sized business could grow to be abruptly flooded with consumers. one espresso store in Portland, Oregon struggled with an increase in clients for a couple of months, when it supplied near to one,000 Groupons on the one certain day it was offered, in accordance to a one report. In response to equal troubles, Groupon officers point out that 'deal' subscriptions should be capped in advance to a reasonably priced quantity.
