Upon hearing of our transportation issues so regularly and seeking how to help, through a church in New York, Jesus provided a motorcycle so Billy can go to meetings and trainings in Nebbi and around town without leaving his girls stranded! How good is Jesus in His perfect timing even...as the birth of our new baby nears, this added security of having transportation available is SUCH A BLESSING!
Traveling so much has left Billy out of the loop with his Aruan friends. In the past week two of his Bible study friends have just come by for meals and to talk at perfect times when Billy has actually been able to talk and share with them. Both of these interactions were such love gifts from Jesus! We ar
e so thankful to Jesus for REAL Ugandan friends and ask that you pray with us for more such friendships!We are thankful for the good gift of health...Elsie Jayne was fighting a couple of funny African illnesses earlier in the week and seems to now just have a cough and runny nose! That counts as good health at the moment, and we are SO GRATEFUL for the Good Physicians ever present hand on our little girl.
A Bible Study Joanna participates in weekly has started a new study on the Holy Spirit and Living IN HIM! This study although only in the second week or so has already proven to be a good gift from Jesus to Joanna a
nd to our community!While the training in Nebbi was difficult this week(we had to accept the resignation of one of our pastors...who is following a "prophet" who has moved to town), we saw Jesus working too. Those pastors are a good gift to us from Jesus! They keep us seeking Him and keep us learning more and more of His character as we relate and love through our different cultures.
The pastors Jesus has trusted us with from Southern Sudan are such a blessing too! We want to praise Jesus for the gift of His protection and provision for all of them in these difficult days. Billy was scheduled to go for training in Juba all next week and for various reasons Jesus has closed that door. We praise Him for the good gift of His sovereign leading. He is guiding us step by step and we thank Him.
The list could go on and on...Jesus is so kind to give good gifts...more than we need certainly and so often more than we can ask or imagine! Ephesians 3:20-21 We praise Him and thank you all for your faithfulness to Him and love for us. We are humbled each morning when we consider how many people are carrying us to Jesus as you enjoy your coffee and quiet times! THANK YOU with all our hearts!

Oh, Yay! God is soooo good! :) I've just been "gifted" by Jesus as well! He's giving me a new friendship with some Chinese people in town- which is just soooo Him, because I love the Chinese and have been longing for a chance to love on and minister to Chinese again. (sigh.) He's so good to us!
Some of us from Yei are looking at coming down to Arua in the next few weeks. I'll hope to see your beautiful family then!
Much love!!!
