Radio Retreat

 
Jesus really helped us with the retreat for Radio Pacis!
We LOVED getting to be in ministry side by side and TEACHING!
The girls came each afternoon for the final worship service together and sharing a mango tree with each participant as a take-away reminder of being a tree planted by streams of water (Psalm 1).
Pray this final group pictured and each of the other three groups (total of 85) might grow in their love of Jesus and bear much fruit for His Kingdom in the days ahead.

recent adventures

 Recent excitement at our home includes Elsie Jayne loosing her first tooth!!! She has claimed she is officially big! What a happy reality!

 Our little friend Kirtan has come to play a couple of times and we ask that you keep praying that his whole family might come to know and love Jesus!!

Sharon and Louise are two girls that came often for bible study while on the school break. They have gone back to their secondary boarding schools now...will you pray Jesus keeps feeding them from His word and that they choose HIM every day. I am really asking Him to provide godly friends for these two...they are at two different schools in two different parts of the country...

Jane gave birth to a lovely little guy called Micah on January 25! Praise Jesus for NEW LIFE!!!
 
Our dear uncle Simon and his wife had their formal introduction (local wedding). It was a joy to get to celebrate LIFE TOGETHER with them!

We spent a day in Nebbi, not just as a family but as the whole Arua team...5 adults and 7 kids for "graduation" for Africa Gospel Church. We were just celebrating how our pastors had moved well through 2012 and were eager to begin the 2013 training...pray for Benson (beside Elsie Jayne above) as he does much of the training now and that all would know and love Jesus more in this year!



With this crew I know there will be many more adventures in the coming months. Pray for Billy as he plays the role of dad and mom and I leave for a missionary wives conference for the next few days!!!

Radio Pacis Retreat

We are headed into a full week of family ministry! We are so excited!!! This is what we LOVE to do...teach and preach and live HIS LOVE with those around us. Billy and Joanna will lead a staff retreat for a local radio station here in Arua Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and again on Saturday. It's a day long retreat dividing up the staff over four days so they can keep the radio continually on!  We have a little over 20 participants each day!  Pray Jesus meets each one of us as only His Sweet Spirit can!

Our big girls will be with Meg Rambo (THANK YOU!!!) this week each morning and then we have a baby-sitter here in the afternoons.  The twins will be with a baby-sitter each day. Pray for courage for all four and peace in their hearts for these long days.  Pray for sweet evenings and mornings together!

We thank you SO MUCH that we know we don't go into this time alone...as you pray you carry us and we can go forward in Him!
