Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope you had a great holiday, and were able to spend it with family. Most of our children spent Christmas with us in St. Louis, and we were able to be with our whole extended family. Wonderful!

Yesterday, my son Ethan and daughter-in-law Juliet informed me that Anna and I are now grandparents. In September, we will have a new Huckabee in our family. SO COOL! Pray for the new young’un, and for Juliet. We are praying for a smooth pregnancy, healthy growth, and a complication-free delivery.

As of this letter, six churches in total have voted to begin monthly financial support! This is an answer to prayer! Please continue to pray that of the 19 churches we visited, that God will bring in sufficient missions giving to their budget, and they will be motivated to support us. We need it.

We are flying back to Uganda on January 29. Pray for our trip. International travel is exhausting, highly stressful, and carries an element of risk.

  • Pray we will make all our connecting flights.
  • Pray that all our luggage will arrive with us and not be lost or stolen.
  • Pray that the customs agents in Entebbe will not harass us over our personal belongings.
  • Pray for our health, that we will remain healthy before, during, and after the trip.
  • Pray for safety on the road back to Mbarara.
  • Pray for smooth transition back into the work.

We are very much looking forward to going home and getting back to work. We have a number waiting to be baptized and several marriages planned in our churches.

This year, our goals are to 1) continue training men and women 2) train more leaders 3) finish needed projects at the camp, such as clean water storage tanks, rebuilding several of the church buildings, and repairing our national pastor’s home. You can find more details here: OUTSTANDING PROJECTS

Please pray people will continue to be saved and added to the churches. Pray for the refugees. They are being denied rations, because the government of Uganda likely wants them to repatriate whether it is safe for them to do so or not, and the United Nations is a corrupt and godless organization.

God bless and keep you in this New Year!
