More Adventures

Jesus is so kind to bless us with families who support and encourage us. We are grateful for two families that are trusting Jesus that we are walking in Him and that He has truly called us to this place and these people for this time! We rejoice in His goodness to us!

What a blessing it was to be tourist for a day and go to the game park with Joanna's parents, Blake and Nancy Neff. Elsie Jayne loved floating down the Nile and kept wanting to jump in and pet the hippos...


The beauty of the land Jesus has called us to is magnificent. It's incredible to imagine the vastness of the land as well as the greatness of the need. Please pray we might obey Jesus each day and see Him bring His light to this dark continent.


As we said good-bye to Nancy and Blake (Nya-nya and Pap...nya-nya is grandmother and tomato in Swahili!) we also said good-bye to one of our summer VIA, Kristen Fogg. Pray for her as she readjusts to life in the states...that Jesus will continue to use what she has seen and heard in her heart. Also, Sarah Knowlton is here with us through next Thursday. She and Kristen have been a huge blessing through children's ministries at Uganda Christian University, some bible clubs we have here at our home, and a girls bible study that meets each week.

Please pray for Billy and John as they have left this morning for a pastor's training in Yei, Sudan. They are traveling with our field director and will be meeting four pastors there for training this weekend. Please pray for Billy as he drives...for one, Elsie Jayne was up most of the night and also, it is rainy season, so the roads are even more complicated to maneuver than normal.
