Jerry Lehman - A man of faith

Jerry Lehman 1936 - 2018
Jerry Lehman
It is with heavy hearts that we share news of the passing of a great man and founder of Buyamba USA, Jerry Lehman, who went to be with the Lord early this morning in his hometown, Kingston, New York. Jerry was 82 years old and is survived by his wife Pat Lehman and family.

Jerry and Pat established Buyamba in 2002 in Kingston, New York, after Jerry had met and befriended Pastor Bethuel and Florence Dongo and their family while he served as a missionary in Uganda from 1984-1987. Jerry was passionate about helping the Dongo family reach out to those children in Uganda who were orphaned and fatherless. He opened the non-profit called Buyamba Orphan Outreach when he returned to the United States and began the process of finding a sponsor for each of the children that the Dongo family had brought under their care. Pastor Dongo considered Jerry and Pat his spiritual parents.
His life was that of following the Lord all of his days, and with that, Jerry impacted many. He carried Buyamba Orphan Outreach for five years and then joined hands with the new Buyamba non-profit that was born in California in 2007, as he and his wife Pat retired. Jerry’s vision for calling people in the United States to help those across the sea, continues today. We will miss him dearly, and extend our love and prayers to his wife, Pat.
Florence Dongo upon reflection said it best …..
The Hero, the great man has fallen! Yes, he has fought a good fight, he has kept the faith. Jerry Lehman will receive the crown of Victory on that day! - Florence Dongo

To our Buyamba Friends and Family in areas impacted by recent storms,
 
On behalf of the thousands of Buyamba supporters, sponsors, and volunteers, I want to extend our sincere concern for your safety and health during and after hurricane Harvey's wake.
 
Please know that you are being bathed in prayer for God's provision to mightily bring you through this catastrophe. Not only is your Buyamba family here in the US praying for you, the entire Uganda staff and students are supporting you in prayer as well. Prayers from around the world are with you.
A Buyamba friend in Florida shares his cry for prayer ...
 
"I have been actively praying AGAINST this storm from hitting land anywhere, that is to turn out to sea, since it first formed last week. Forecasters indicated, from the start, that the location and track of the storm could create a large dangerous hurricane. Yes, they were right.  

 
I am asking, in prayer, that God be glorified in this potential disaster to Florida. If you remember Katrina was a CAT 5 at 150MPH winds. One way for God to be glorified is that He gets His people to pray in unison.  
 
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. - 2 Chron 7:14
 
If you have not prayed, God is Glorified in His miracles (John 15:8).  We are looking for a miracle.   Please come along side us, in unity, praying and asking that the Lord be merciful to Florida."

We will be keeping a prayer list specific to the needs of those affected by the storm. Feel free to contact us at joe@ugandabuyamba.com or call us at 805-558-0089 and let us know how we can pray for you.
May God watch over you and your families.
 
Blessings,

Julie Dimas & Your Buyamba Family
