MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 05-31-2005

Greetings, once again! We're back from Kansas City, and poised to head out again on Wednesday for a missions conference in Walnut Ridge, AK (Gethsemene Baptist Church, Pastor Derek Collins). The missions conference in Trinity Independent Baptist Church went very well. They're a soulwinning church, and Pastor Boos has a real heart for his city and his people. On Saturday, I was able to lead a 15 year old guy to Christ. All told, three were saved that day. To date, they have seen 73 saved in outreach alone. It's great to see a church so concerned for the lost. The preaching went well for both me and Bro. Roverosa, missionary to Cuba, and you could tell God was really working in folks' hearts.

We're home for a couple days to get things pulled together, and then we're heading to Pastor Collins' missions conference. Immediately thereafter, we're heading across Tennessee (9 hours), to Chattanooga for our second week of Candidate School at BIMI headquarters. My sister-in-law is driving down on Saturday to pick up the kids and bring them back to our house, where they'll be staying with my parents while we're in Chattanooga, so pray for them. Pray for the missions conference coming up, and the week of training we'll be receiving very soon. Pray God will soon provide the remaining $3150 to get the new van (He has already provided $4300! Praise the LORD!). Pray for our Pastor, Ken Spilger and wife Beth, and the Uganda Team from our church who are over in Uganda at the moment helping the Guimons train their young preachers.
