MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 08-06-2007

/in /by

Greetings once again! Things are going well. We're enjoying being home and being in our home church. We're getting ready to head to Texas in a few weeks, and are getting a lot of projects done around home. I've been busily scheduling meetings for our time in Texas, and have already scheduled several so far. Continue praying that I will keep succeeding on that front. God has really blessed in that regard, and I'm very grateful for the opportunities to share our burden for Uganda with folks down in Texas. It's a great opportunity, because by moving to Texas to attend BBTI for ten months, we are shifting the epicenter of our deputation to the south, and will be able to get into churches far from our home in St. Louis, but without having to drive very far to get to them, kind of like we did the first year of deputation in Missouri. I have accumulated some good contacts in the past few years, and this has been a great help in getting meetings in the area.

Last Sunday, following the morning invitation, I got the privilege of leading a visitor to our church named Carl to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. It's always a thrill to get to be directly involved in God's great work of redemption. Pray for Carl as he grows in his new Christian life.

This Sunday, I'll be preaching in our home church. Pray that God will give me wisdom for what text and what message He would have me preach. Tomorrow, myself and several of the men have to dig up and replace the pipe running from our well and supplying the church with water, in St. Louis' brutal 100 degree, 80 plus percent humidity weather we've been having lately, so pray that we'll be able to get the ditch dug without suffering any heat casualties. Also, on a more personal note, I'm trying to raise money to get our Pastor a new computer. His is pushing twelve years old and is in desperate need of replacement. Pray that God will move folks to give to that end. We have $600 raised so far (Praise the LORD), and will need another $2000 or so, which altogether will get the computer and the desktop publishing and office productivity software he needs.  

Well, that's all for now.

God bless you all, and thank you so much for your faithful prayers.
