MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 06-08-2020

Greetings! I think 2020 is going to go down as one of the most bizarro years in recent memory. Not much has changed since the last update. Uganda is still on lockdown. We are still in America, waiting for the government there to open their borders again. We have heard conflicting news from President Museveni. Either they are opening the border to some foreign travel on June 26, or the border remains closed until there’s a vaccine for the fake pandemic. It is currently unclear. In any case, KLM is not flying to Uganda at all right now, and there is no indicator when they plan to resume flights. So here we are.

In more local news, our sons have finished their first year of college, and are home working hard earning money for next semester. We are enjoying this unexpected extension of our time in America to be with our children. We were fully expecting to have to leave them back on April 1, but those plans were changed, obviously.

In Uganda, our people have been enduring Uganda’s strict stay-at-home orders. Churches were cancelled until this past weekend. Schools are still closed. I have sent relief to them to purchase food and medicine. The cost of medicine has increased due to scarcity. Ditto for food. Pray for our churches and for the country of Uganda.

I succeeded in raising money for several projects, but we didn’t reach all of our goals. If you were still wanting to help with that, we could very much use it. The moment I get back I want to start rebuilding our church buildings and constructing the new library building. I still need about $20,000 in order to do all the projects that were outstanding when we left last June.

Since we have been unavoidably detained for the foreseeable future, and now that the Wuhan Flu hysteria is starting to subside, if you would like a visit from me in the next month or two, let me know and I will see what I can do. Or, Zoom, since the China virus taught us that Zoom is also a viable option. I can still be reached at 314-915-8164.

Thanks for praying for us. I am praying for all of you as your various municipalities begin to allow the 1st amendment to function again, and, possibly you may be facing some civil unrest too. I expect locusts, volcanic eruptions and meteors will strike at any moment. 🙂

God bless you!
