MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 02-14-2007

Greetings from St. Louis! I made it back alive to St. Louis from Great Falls, MT. On the day I was supposed to leave (Tuesday), a winter storm moved into the Midwest and began dumping frozen sunshine all over my landing strip. As we're sitting on the tarmac in Salt Lake City, the pilot informs us that there's a 50/50 chance we might have to divert to Kansas City if the visibility doesn't improve en route.  Needless to say, I was on the phone getting some prayer going! God cleared the weather up, however, and I was able to land in St. Louis on time. The only hitch was the backed up line of planes already at the gates, so even though we landed on time, we sat on the runway for another hour waiting for gate access. At any rate, I'm home again, and it's very good to be with my family once more.

My meeting with Wayne Voss in Calvary Baptist Indian Church last Wednesday went well. I had a time locating the church because I drove to the wrong end of 1st Ave. N, but once I finally got there, we were able to have a good service. It was a privilege to get to share our burden for Uganda in this church, led by veteran BIMI missionaries Wayne and Barbara Voss these past 25 years.

The conference at Heritage Baptist Church with Pastor Sheldon Schearer went well also. We had a great conference. It was me and the Fasinro family heading to Nigeria. God greatly blessed in the services, and gave the both of us great power to preach.

It was a good few weeks up in Great Falls, MT, and I'm grateful God worked out the meetings like He did so I could go up there.

We'll be heading down to Chattanooga, TN on Saturday for a Sunday meeting, so pray for us as we travel. Pray for our continued good health. The guys got some colds and what not while I was gone, but so far, none of us have gotten the flu, and I would like to keep it that way.
