Hello again, everyone.

So here goes my attempt at reviving this much neglected missions blog of mine.  Strangely, this is the first time that I’ve found myself the sole individual in charge of my PR over here.  So I’ll give you all fair warning right now that the updates and news may be slightly sporadic until I get used to this whole blogging thing.  We appreciate your understanding.  😉

What has happened here in Uganda since we last put words on this page?  Well Andrew and I wrapped up the Ambassador Institute class in Jinja town.  Some of those students are already beginning their own classes as teachers and bringing the word of God to others in this area.

Right now I’m helping teach in a few of those classes and meeting with others to help prepare them for their classes each week.

Since our class finished Andrew has returned home and the Jores are about to return here.

Also in the works are some translation projects for the Ambassador Institute curriculum.  I’ve heard that Uganda has about 50 different languages, although many of them share similarities to others.  Right now we’re in various stages of work with the languages of Luganda, Lusoga, Luo, and Karamojong.  This is a big area of need for your prayers as we desire to see these translations completed in a timely yet accurate way.  Some of them are going faster than others but ideally we would like to see some finished work before the Ambassador Institute graduation ceremony at the end of January.

Another prayer request/praise is that in recent days we’ve had a surge of interest in our training as multiple churches from various places have requested us to begin new classes with them.  It’s wonderful to see such eagerness for God’s word here although we’re not yet sure how to supply teachers to all of them.  Please pray for wisdom for us in that.  The fields are indeed white and so we find that we need to request more workers from the Lord of the harvest.  That means workers from our own churches in the states of course, but perhaps even more so from right here in Uganda.

Also, please remember the Jores in prayer as they return to Uganda.  We’re all hoping to see them arrive safe and sound at the end of this month. 

I’m extremely grateful to all of you who have been keeping us and this ministry in your thoughts and prayers.

That’s all for now, I guess.  Lord willing I’ll have some pictures to post next time.

God bless

Greetings to all the blog readers out there.

So things have been happening here in Uganda since we last updated this blog. For starters, we’ve both gone through an initiation of sorts in the form of catching malaria within a week of each other. Don’t worry though. We’re both fully recovered now.  Thank you all for your prayers.

Speaking of prayers… we’re in need of some at the moment.  In the last post we asked you to pray for the salvation of Jowali and his family.  God has really been working to reach them lately, and I’m sure that your prayers for them are being heard.

Right now their family is going through a trial of sorts though.  They have a daughter who was possessed by a demon over a week ago.  You can go to Nate’s blog to get some of the history of it.  But long story short, since she was first delivered she’s been struggling with the demon on and off again up until now.  Today she was just possessed again.  Nate and the two of us are going to leave for their home tomorrow morning with other ugandan intercessors.  You can pray that we might be instruments of deliverance to her and the others at her school who are dealing with the possessions.  But mostly pray that the girl would come to a true saving faith in Jesus Christ and so be protected from further spiritual attacks.  She needs the work of the spirit to happen in her heart.

Paul says in chapter one of Philippians that he’s sure that his deliverance from prison will come “through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.”  We too are convinced that God will work through the prayers of His church. That’s why we’re asking you for them.  So please join with us in the battle.
