MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 01-05-2006

Greetings, once again! I hope everyone had a pleasant Christmas, and, the beginning, I trust, of a very happy New Year. We had a good break, got some good rest, and spent some time with family and with our home church. Now we’re forging ahead into 2006. Our first meeting will be this Sunday at Temple Baptist Church, in Marshfield, MO with Pastor Tim Auten. Pray that it will go well, and that God will bless. Lots of missionaries, including us, will be on the road in the next few months, so pray for our safety as we have to get out and drive in the snow and ice those months usually bring. I’m working on getting our itinerary up on the website, so check back periodically so you can be praying as we travel.

I have some great news. God moved someone to send us enough money to buy a laptop computer. We’ve been needing one for awhile, and now we get to start the year with one! Thanks for praying about this. If you were still wanting to help with our computer needs, we still need to replace Anna’s six year old Macintosh, which is what we use for all our page layout and design. A newish IMac G5 usually runs about $1500, and the software we would need for desktop publishing would be about $350.

We’re looking forward to what God will do this year. Please pray that our support will increase dramatically in the next few months, and that the churches we will be with this year will be able to support us.
