MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 01-24-2012

Hello, all! The Bassett’s returned from furlough last Wednesday. They are busily getting their affairs in order (cleaning and stocking a house unused for 9 months takes a bit of time). They went out on Sunday with us to the camp, and everyone was very excited to see them. Now that they have returned, it will effectively double the man hours of work that can be done out there, so we will be able to accomplish much more.

It was so nice to be able to teach Children’s Sunday School again. I had suspended it during their absence due to having to preach at all three points. We are preparing for VBS the second week of February. We are going to commence regular services at the youngest point, Kabazano. We are taking steps to organize the other two, Ngarama and Juru. Then there’s the possibility of new church plants. I look forward to being able to continue the English classes again also.

Pray for the work. Pray for the roads. The road building to the camp was delayed due to heavy rains this season, but now that we are in the dry season, I am praying that the work will continue. It would be nice to be able to get out there quicker and without beating our vehicle and our bodies to pieces. Pray for the teaching. We need to conclude the teaching of Genesis, and there are many more things besides that need to be taught. The day will come when a Bible College will be needed. Pray this can come to pass, and the resources and manpower will become available. Pray for this coming year. There is much to do, and I can feel my time here this term running out.

March 2013 will be here before you know it, so if any of you would like a visit from us during our impending furlough, please let me know.

God bless you!
