MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 02-21-2006

Greetings, everyone! We attended Kyle Guimon's funeral on Friday. It went very well. There were over 300 people in attendance. Many of these were pastors from all over America from Kyle's supporting churches. Walnut Ridge, AR really turned out to honor Kyle. The state patrol shut down main street, and gave the lengthy funeral procession to the local cemetery a full escort. All in all, it was a great day of honor and love for Kyle Guimon, God's faithful servant, and my friend. I never thought the day would come any time soon that I'd be burying my friend and brother. Now that it has arrived, I am ever more resolved to get to Uganda, and continue the work he started there. Be in prayer for Debbie and Matthew, and for all of us who are grieving for Kyle. Pray for Uganda. God has opened a gap in Uganda, and it needs to be filled. Pray for us, that we will be able to get to Uganda swiftly, to fill the gap, and to continue what Kyle began, namely, the great work of reaching the people of Uganda with the Gospel.

We will be driving down to Columbus, GA on Thursday for a missions conference in Lighthouse Baptist Church, with Pastor Marty Wynn. Pray for our travels.
