MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 09-18-2020

Howdy! I hope everybody is doing well wherever you are in this, the sixth month of “14 days to flatten the curve.”

Unfortunately, I have no good news on the Uganda lockdown situation. Earlier this month, a recommendation was made to the Ugandan President Museveni to open up schools and the airport on October 1. I waited a couple weeks to see if he would do it and… nothing. He has gone radio silent. No word at all.

So the old lockdown protocols are still in effect. No school. No church. Borders are closed to regular international and domestic travel. Curfew in effect from 2100h-0530h daily. Nothing has changed.

As it stands now, I am planning on staying here at least through the election. I have not voted in person for a Presidential election since 2008, and I wish to do so for this one. I have concerns about civil unrest following President Trump’s massive landslide victory, and wish to be here to protect my family if things get ugly, as we live close to St. Louis City. The irony is that before the Scamdemic locked everything down we were planning to come back in February in case the election in Uganda turned violent. I can no longer think of my country as an advanced nation that has free and fair elections. Thank you for that Democrats.

Meanwhile, I am prepping some doctrines courses to put to work when we get back. I am still ready to get the church building rebuilt at Isanja and the new library building at Ngarama. There are other projects of equal importance for which I lack funding. They will remain undone unless I have sufficient money for materials and labor. Pray about helping us. I have half of what is needed for all projects.

Pray for our churches in Uganda. They are still on lockdown. Pray for our people, for their health, physical, mental and spiritual. The United States is sending new rations to refugees there, as the UN has cut funding to our people because of the Scamdemic.

Recent changes in immigration policy pretty much guarantees that none of our refugees will ever leave there, or make it to America if they do. This is the unfortunate result of the criminal behavior of Democrats in our own country who want to flood our country with poor, easily manipulated illegal immigrants from countries that hate America, while rejecting the excellent highly educated refugees who love America and want to become Americans. So now nobody gets to come in.

This is particularly discouraging to my friend and co-laborer Pastor Zizi, who’s sister and mother made it to America under Obama, but have now been stranded in bureaucratic limbo due to these changes. He is frantic with worry for his mother who is in poor health, but cannot go to her to care for her because he is stuck in Uganda.

And we are stuck here. 

Quite the year we’re having, isn’t it?

Thank you for praying for us. Pray for America. Pray for Uganda.

God bless you.
