MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 05-05-2009

Greetings! We had an interesting meeting last week in Crossroads Baptist Church in Imlay City, MI, with Pastor Ken Renard. We got there on Saturday, having driven through a torrential downpour, only to find that half the town, including the half where our hotel was, was without power. In fact, we had a hard time locating the hotel at first because it was so dark. We were without power 'til the following night. It was kind of cool, making our way up to the room with flashlights, and getting ready the following day. The gang thought it was a great adventure, and I must confess I yielded to the temptation to warn them about the "monsters that lurk in darkened hotel hallways", but they've learned by now how to tell when I'm teasing. 😉

The meetings went great. This was this church's first ever missions conference, and it was such a privilege to get to be in on that. I'm glad we got to come. It was well worth the drive, and should result in some more support, so we are that much closer to being able to go to Uganda. Pray for us as we continue our journeys, and endeavor to get our house ready to sell this summer.
