Tidbits for Artist Hearts or Anyone: A “tidbit” is ‘a choice or pleasing bit of anything.’ I enjoyed a little diversion while recuperating this winter. Since being diagnosed with Retinal Vein Occlusion it is preventing me from painting a lot of small detail artwork. And so sadly the Watercolor to the left, “The Trading Post,” is the last one I will do for awhile. In it’s place I was able to enjoy some wonderful online tutorials on how to quilt since the LED screen is lit it makes it easier for me to see which is a welcome break. I have always been fascinated with this craft. It seemed like the right time for me to take a keener interest & perhaps use them for needy folks along the way. For this past Christmas, gifts given to me were “all things quilting” and I could hardly wait to test drive my new tools. Many facets behind quilt work are built on similar principles be it color, value or composition. So in a way it has been a related art study. Instead of painting with Watercolor pigments and a brush, it is painting with gorgeous fabrics using clever mathematical skills which will enable me to

The Lord’s...compassions fail not. They are new every morning. (Lam. 3:23)

difficult stays in hospital including emergency surgery for Jan in December to drain a badly infected cyst on what was originally diagnosed as Warthin ‘s Tumour in her neck, we are both just glad to have those days behind us. After a follow-up Cat Scan this past April amazingly the tumour seems to have disappeared! An Ultra Sound due next year will confirm if it is truly gone. In the meantime we are praising the Lord for this good news. We trust you will all have a refreshing summer wherever you are, or whatever you do serving the Lord.

Book Review:RADIO REPORT:

By Jan Howlett 2014

Doreen D. writes, “Jan I picked up your book The Treasure of His Company this summer and could not put it down. It is truly God inspired and how I loved your art. It truly is one of those books that changes a person. I am looking back and seeing how God was working in the summer to prepare me for this fall and all that it would hold!” – Peterborough, Ont.

HART: Prison Ministries & Food & Clothing for refugees from Crimea & Eastern UkraineNEW WINTER PROJECTS

“Humanitarian Aid Response Teams (HART) is a Christian Relief Aid and Missions agency dedicated to serving the poor and equipping/empowering the Indigenous church in Eastern Europe.” We have had the privilege of working with HART providing Gospel tracts in Slavic languages and hundreds of new GFTG sewn garments by our volunteers from 1996 to about 2006. It saddened us when our ability to ship to the Ukraine was no longer feasible. Nevertheless, we continued to support them in our prayers especially for the poor and needy orphans, refugees and

more recently the devastating conflict and loss of life in Ukraine.

Then mid Feb. 2015, FHLM had a wonderful opportunity to join others in helping support two new areas of ministry: HART Prison Ministries-Care after Care as well as Food & Clothing for Refugees streaming in from Crimea and Eastern Ukraine by the tens of thousands. President and dear brother Llyod Cenaiko shared that, "this is truly a modern-day David and Goliath story. The young Ukraine, fresh from overthrowing the yoke of 22 years of corrupt leadership, is now in an epic struggle against... a powerful and ruthless force of evil." "Ukrainians are fighting and dying for the right to live in a civilized and democratic country.”

As a result days later we had a personal call from Lloyd. What an encouraging and thrilling phone call! We learned first hand of the many answers to prayer via HART and the people of Ukraine during their darkest hours in the current warfare.

Lloyd also reported that though he knew that we were no longer able to supply GFTG, yet our desire to minister and help needy children was being wonderfully answered by a wealthy gentleman in a bordering country of Ukraine who has supplied

Another practical Winter project presented itself through HA/Bible Voice with whom we broadcast. High Adventure's Newsletter, somewhat summarized here, gives a revealing report on "the thousands of children and youth taken by rebels in The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) who ravaged the TESO region

present the cloth quilt blocks within a stunning design. I soon discovered that not only was the pieced quilt top the centerpiece, but that the actual quilting designs on the top itself were not just a practical way of securing the top, batting and backing fabrics together, but beyond that simple construction, the final finishing elements would clearly transform the beauty of the composition so it would stand out even more in all it’s glory! Viewing the work of other professional quilters was delightful and awe inspiring. Sometimes when we are called to face new challenges, especially new, or unwanted boundaries that darken and turn our world upside down, we may battle to accept them at first. But as we walk through those dark times trusting the Lord we can look back and see that the Lord enabled us to see that those lines were as necessary in bringing out the beauty of Christ’s character in us as the times of blessing. Therefore God is all the more glorified by such trust and willing obedience to persevere until God’s purposes and designs are realized, not only as practical, but life changing! Like the quilting process we become a beautiful work of art, but even more so because those lines were added to the design. Both aspects are necessary and therefore a rich blessing to all those who share it.

The “confining lines” for me at the moment happen to be sudden failing eyesight with the threat of total blindness and for Ross continual care-giving on top of heavy ministry responsibilities, but slowly glimmers of purpose and transformation are starting to surface to the glory of God. Choosing to trust God in

all of this seemingly very frightening trial reveals all the more the unfailing faithfulness and presence of the Lord Jesus Christ in every step of this journey. We know whatever happens in the future Jesus is already there! One day, as we trust the Lord, the “quilts” of our lives will be complete and beautiful, and dear friends so will yours! PTL We can trust Him even in the dark!

much needed clothing for the many orphans and refugees in Eastern Ukraine. What a comfort to know this! “Many Ukrainian Christians have been salt and light while suffering its worst crisis since World War II.”

So God was answering our prayers that someone would be able to help where we couldn't. PTL. Many are coming to Christ as Saviour and there is a hunger for God's Word in the midst of upheaval and deep sorrows. So please keep praying. Since 1997 one little orphan boy’s words still ring loudly in our hearts, “Please don’t forget us”. What an encouragement this news will be to many of our past volunteer sewers and workers.

YOUTH FM Continued: its 20-year death grip on North Uganda. During that time, 6000 children were abducted-most taken violently from their families.”

“Government minister of disaster and relief Musa Ecweru recounts the resolve of the TESO people, ‘the rebels took 6000 of our children so we chased them into swamps & fields and bushes. Our military managed to bring 4000 of them home…’.”

As a result the dream for an historic first time ever Ugandan youth-only radio began “...when we saw the numbers…it is a staggering reality to know that over 50% of Uganda’s population is under 16 years, many without families and comprise 60% of the population.”

“Many thousands of youth are without training, education or hope... But this new radio station, Y.O.U.R. FM, a FIRST for the nation, youth would air their concerns…their passions …their dreams. And it would be a place where they could pray for each other…where they could minister to each other…where they could begin to have hope!”

A team of “recovering abductees are now training for radio. Though they were forced-marched through miles of dangerous bush…as they witnessed murder, mutilation and all manner of unspeakable acts…as they endured all this, now of the 4000, the [abuctess] have been chosen to help other youth, some who are physically free, but captive to so many other dangerous memories, thoughts and ideals!” High Adventure’s newsletter continues...“It all started with prayer for listeners. They listen to our Saviour FM broadcasts and then come to the

station for prayer. But there were so many, sometimes lined up down the hallway and outside the station, that we had to find a shady spot for prayer out of the 40C temperature; soon they were praying under the solar panels that power the station. In a short time, there were so many, that a small church began under our solar panels. And soon, when we start the Y.O.U.R. FM station ...these same panels will power their Youth Voice across the region-they too will come for prayer.” But they needed a place to sit! FHLM was privileged to offer a helping hand by sending support to supply wooden benches for the new church and those bathing the radio work in prayer. Thank you all for praying for this new church and radio station.
