Thank you for Praying

Billy is in Nebbi today for training. Thank you for so many who have caught the vision to pray with us for our pastors there.

Our two new teammates, Aaron and Corrie Heinrich are in Nebbi with him. They were students at Asbury with us, but have been in Khartoum, Sudan most recently. After a trip to the states for a family medical emergency, they have had trouble getting visas back into Sudan. Pray with us for Jesus to make a way for their return, but also that we might serve Him well together in the intervening time.

Their children are Hailey, 4 years old and Eden, 2. Elsie Jayne loves them both so much but calls them both "Eden!" Our whole family has been thankful for God's good gift to us in new teammates!

All three of our big girls (we're thankful Jesus has spared Lucy Mae) have struggled with various illness over the past few weeks. The parents have joined in the sickness every few days as well! We have been a bit discouraged by this constant run of illness. The sicknesses have been nothing big, but constant. Will you pray with us for full and complete recovery as a team!? We would be so grateful!

Over the last two weeks Billy has been working continually on preparations for the survey trip into Congo. It's Africa...so communication between towns is tricky enough, but now that we are trying to communicate with our neighboring country, it doesn't matter that it is only a few kilometers away. It has been a real struggle. Finally yesterday we think (again) that we have definite dates...we will see. But do pray as he and Aaron plan to leave next Thursday for a week in country. They will meet up with Jonathan Mayo, our Uganda field director, and Brent Duncan, our good friend and "Congo contact" in a way. Pray for all four of these men as they prepare for the journey and then go. Pray they might have eyes to see what Jesus wants in that nation.

We are thankful that sweet Lucy is growing well and is a sweet baby! She is sending sloppy baby smooches to you with gratefulness for your prayers and love!
