Jesus has been so good to us! We want to thank you for your prayers and rejoice with you in what He has done. He blessed us with a visit from our dear friend Victoria Mills who was a volunteer serving in Kampala when we first came. She and her father came from Boston, MA to check out what Jesus is doing in Arua! We LOVED having them. Jesus used them in amazing ways in their few short days with us.
Andy is a retired businessman who is serving Jesus as a mentor and discipler of younger Christian b
usinessmen now. Jesus gave us the idea to have a businessmen’s breakfast here in town and have Andy share what God has taught him about bringing Jesus into the business world! Jesus went above and beyond our expectations. Billy and Andy both got to share on a radio program on Thursday afternoon…Andy sharing his testimony of how he met Jesus and then how Jesus led him from that point! Everyone here listens to the radio…it is our main form of communication, so we were thrilled to have that form of media to broadcast from. Also, an announcement was made then about the businessmen’s breakfast and we ended up with 50 present on Saturday morning! Again, Jesus helped Andy share and the Arua Christian Business Network was birthed!

Pray for us as we teach and just love those men and women. THANK YOU for the part you play in sharing Jesus with Africa through your love and prayers and support of us! We cannot thank Jesus enough for you all!

That's real cool about the radio broadcast, the business connections and especially about Nebbi next week...Pray for you...you bet!
Its cool reading your blog especially now that I know the people you talk about.
Wow, that is so exciting. I'm so glad that Victoria wanted to come back to visit and the Lord used her and her father so amazingly. He is sooooo good. We will also be praying for you guys for your first pastoral training session. I know that you will add much love and depth as you share what God brings to mind along with the lessons. We are looking forward to seeing you all in October.
Hahahahahahhahaha. That's Awesome! Classic, classic Africa. By the way, you say you're going to Nebbi to train four pastors...don't be surprised if you have eight. It wouldn't be the first time!
Whatever you do, don't eat the potato salad.
God bless,
Nate
It is so wonderful to have all the updates! I have to admit, I am alittle nervous about visiting now, you know I am not a bug person! I'm sure Jesus will help me through it though! I love the Jesus works in unexpected ways and has even bigger plans on how to use us than we have for ourselves. That business network sounds like such a neat thing. We are so glad to hear that your first summer of volunteers is going smoothly. Get feeling better Jo! We are praying for you. Love you both--Candice and Robbie
