JOY amidst the Journeys

The best part about Daddy traveling so much is that HE COMES BACK! When he arrived back from a week in Nairobi at a leadership conference, Elsie Jayne was all smiles and welcomed him home excitedly! We had a special weekend together as a family before he had to go to Sudan for a week of pastoral training. Jesus really helped him and we were able to welcome him back again (knowing he will stay for a while this time) after a great weekend of training and discipleship in Yei, Sudan.

While he was away, we celebrated our friend Jennifer’s 24^th birthday! She invited over a few other friends and we had coke and cake to celebrate. Elsie Jayne LOVED the party and I think Jennifer really felt loved as well!

Jesus really ordered conversations and interactions for Elsie Jayne and me while Billy was away. The girls I am meeting with on Monday evenings are becoming more vulnerable and open with me…we can all see Jesus working in each of our lives and it’s exciting! Jesus is helping us…and Elsie Jayne only makes every interaction sweeter! She’s doing well…please do continue to pray for her development in every way!

Jeannie Banter is back with us!!! We are so excited to have her here for the next 6 weeks. She already jumped back in this morning with Bible Club here in our yard. 20 neighborhood kids came and learned about Jesus in the temple when he was about their age. Jesus is using Jeannie in Africa…keep praying for her please!

Thank you for carrying us in your hearts! We are so humbled that Jesus would let us live and work here in Arua…and in Kenya, and Sudan, and wherever He takes us tomorrow!
