“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the Gospel from the first day until now.” Phil 1:3-4
We are so grateful for your partnership in the Gospel with our family. We have relied on your prayers for our strength and we have been blessed by your support. May God richly bless you for what has been accomplished here because of you.
I am writing to inform you of the exciting news that we are heading stateside for a furlough and we want to meet with you face to face, to hear from you, share with you and join with you in personal prayer. We had planned to schedule a furlough in 2022 but it has become obvious that this will be the best time.
– Because of the COVID-19 situation our pastoral school has been closed down along with all the other learning institutions in the country of Uganda. And it doesn’t look like it will resume before 2021. This will give us the freedom to come home without being very missed here.
– By the grace of God we have found a wonderful ministry whose passion is for excellent sustainable Christ-centered health care. This group will soon take over the management of the Dream Center Uganda Health Center III. Both taking it to the next level and further freeing my family to enjoy a rest in the US.
– We are also looking forward to the birth of our 4th child at the end of October and we see it will be best to receive him/her into the world stateside.
– Finally, the next Ugandan presidential elections will take place early next year and we are expecting it to come with turmoil and unrest.
