Well I updated our blog’s theme and lost the nice picture in the heading. Now it is an island scene. Well when I can I will update it.
I was just checking our blog site for updates and realized we have not posted anything since Oct 2010. That is over a year. Wow! I will tell you that we have been doing a lot of communication via FaceBook. So not much here.
Well we are wrapping things up and heading back to America in 2 days for a 3 month break. We are heading back for the birth of our number 3 grand child. We are excited.
This last year we have seen a lot of things. We have been to Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan. We have had lots of fun with the Lord. All amazing stuff.
Well we have been back in Uganda for 2 months. We want to say thank you to all of you that assist us in getting back to the mission field. Thank you for your prayers and support it has helped us.
We have been getting back into the rhythm of things. The kids have been doing school. Brenda has been working on a number of projects and I have been getting into the issues of the mission. We had a great Annual Conference in September. Even though we had a reduced budget the churches came together and made the conference a success. We say over a 1,000 people in the week. We miss David very much as a family. He had been a big help to us in everything we do. However we know that God has him where he is. He is attending Generational Leadership in Maple Valley.
As for the work here in Uganda we have had a number of great visitors come through. We have enjoyed having them and they have enjoyed seeing the ministry here in Uganda. On the WOMF side of things we are getting ready for our Annual Banquet in Fife, WA. Brenda has been working with the kids here on a dance that we hope to have ready for viewing at the Banquet.
As for me I have been working on legal issues in Uganda. One thing is a sure thing and that is laws are everywhere. We have formed a small group of legal folks within Uganda to help review and plan for our future. Uganda in its maturing as started to adopt, enforce and execute laws that they have had on the books for years. But now they appear to be getting serious. So it is a continual process of review to ensure what we do here fits the within the newly enforced laws. An example is getting the Baby House working requires us to ensure that every child placed here is known by the government. We have file with the courts and work with the district social workers with every child. So this process is a lengthy and at times complicated process. So pray that we keep a timely update on what we do and good relationships with the Government.
We are planning at the end of October to do a medical outreach in Bundibugyo, Uganda. It is one of the most remote locations in Uganda. It is a one road in and one road out location. The last time we were there was a few years ago and we saw over a 1,000 people in 4 days. We do need you help to get use there. We have funds for meds and we have visiting and local nursing staff to help but we need help in getting to the location. Any donation would help. You can donate here to help us.
Well I want to share with you something that our family has been doing for a number of years to help supplement our support while on the mission field in Uganda. We have been selling web hosting since 2007 and developing websites for people around the world. We have not been aggressively doing the promotion of this “tent-making” type of business until now.
As many of you know we do not have our full support needed to on the mission field. That has not stopped us. Many people have stepped up to help however we are still short on funding. So it is my belief that a prosperous man works hard. So my family and I have decided to expand what we have been doing. So not only are we working hard on the mission field but we also are working hard in the business field.
In 2007 we started the webhosting for people in Africa because it is hard, if not impossible to for a person form a third world nation to have a web presence. Since then we have been able to host over 30 websites. Many of these we helped to design, setup, and maintain.
What we are hoping to do is to get you to consider when you have any website needs to use our services. Even when you know someone that has a need of our services to let them know about us.
As a short portfolio we have done web sites for Non-Profits, Churches, Radio Stations, Government Agencies, Online Services (Connecting Builders with Clients and other types of services), personal blogs, wedding announcement sites, and online E-commerce sites. In doing these websites we have hosted, designed and programmed them.
We offer competitive pricing and service. We offer a service with a personal touch.
What we offer is the following:
· In Uganda we offer two plans through our partner 2 Advanced Media Ltd ( http://2advancedmedia.com ) and its site ConnekIt.com.
We offer a sub-domain, WordPress based website for 75,000/= UGX ($37.50) a year.
We also offer a full domain name website at 140,000/= UGX ($70.00) a year hosting + 20,000/=UGX ($10.00) a year domain name registration. You can use any HTML and PHP based website applications for your website, including WordPress.

Scott, Brenda, Sarah, Matthew, Nathanael, and Bethany Volz
We just launched a website! AfricaWebNet.com. Actually it is a relaunch. Scott started the website in 2007 to help host websites for people in Africa. We have been able to help many people, ministries and businesses. We offer this in Africa because it is very hard for people to find good quality services at a reasonable price. Through AfricaWebNet we offer Africans two website options. One is a sub-domain for about $35 a year from ConnekIt.com. The other is a full domain hosting option for about $75 a year.
We are offering this in Uganda through 2Advanced Media Studios Ltd. This company was started by a graduate from one of our computer colleges. His name is Roger Pohlreich. He has an incredible eye for design.
Now that we have the web hosting site up a working we offer many web hosting services at competitive pricing. We are able to offer these services not only to Africans but also the rest of the world. The good thing about all of this it helps support our missions work in Africa. This is one way we hope to raise funds to assist us to be productive in Africa for missions. We offer a personal and professional approach to web hosting. We stand by our services and we are available to help you to improve on your web presence needs.
