the Greatest Commandment

"Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength." This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." There is no other commandment greater than these.

The story of the Greatest Commandment from Mark 12 is our "story" as we begin the third term in Nebbi on Saturday. Will you pray with us that Jesus comes and makes Himself known as Andrew Piboth leads the time...teaching everyone the story and guiding us through observations and applications?! We are excited as this third term in the year the "Servant Team" Andrew, Benson and Cosmas will be the ones overseeing the trainings and we will serve more as support staff in preparation for our time in the states next year.

Aaron and Corrie Heinrich were planning to go and help out with this first training, as Billy is in Sudan through next Wednesday. But...Aaron has malaria. Will you pray with us for his full and complete healing? Hailey and Eden have even been sick this week, so thank you for lifting that family to Jesus in prayer. Corrie is going to try and go with me on Saturday. Thanks for praying for us as we learn to lead together and learn to sit in the backseat and let Andrew really take the lead...a lot of new dynamics this week.

I haven't talked to Billy at all...he left on Monday. Satellite phone is the only communication and that is quite expensive, so I don't expect to hear from him until the girls and I travel up to join him on Monday. We go in an AIM AIR plane from Arua, so that is a nice and easy two hour trip, we trust. We will all travel back together on Wednesday.

We have heard from others that people have arrived at the Bible Storying conference...only they didn't bring food. Everyone pitching in food was part of the agreement. So...we are just praying that either the rumors aren't true and there is food, or Jesus is sustaining everyone with the one meal a day provided! He is able to do that.

Please pray too that Jesus helps us all four to live in the reality of obedience to these His Great Commandments!
