MISSION: Uganda Blog Post 08-27-2026

Good morning!

We have commenced our great Western Tour 2026. We are making our way to New Mexico today, then onto Arizona after that.

My goal is to visit all of our Western churches this furlough, then be in a position to fall back and visit our Missouri churches, and perhaps our Eastern churches in 2028 when we bring Brennah back for college. I appreciate your patience. I am aware we have not been to see some of you in quite awhile. COVID blew up our furlough schedule entirely. Then we very much needed to raise support in 2023. I am scrambling to get caught up.

On the way to Shreveport on the first leg of our journey, our air conditioning stopped blowing cold air. This is the singular purpose for which air conditioning exists. We cooked in 100 degree temps for six hours after that. Now, to be fair, we have acclimated to heat very well. As long as I have air blowing on me, my body stays fairly cool, even when the air is warm. But this was extreme even for us. We rolled into town exhausted and hot. If you’ve ever lived in Louisiana (my home state), then you know how crazy hot it gets here in August.

Our church here has supported us since 2008. They have probably the best missions apartments I have ever used. And they fall directly on our route west. So we have been using this place as a way station for years. I asked their new Pastor if he’d like a report from us while we were in the neighborhood. The meeting went great. They decided on the spot to pay to repair our air conditioning. A mechanic from the church is working on it right now as I write this. God is very good to us.

Pray for our travels. I have us booked until November. We have a lot of road to cover in the coming months. I don’t know what God has planned, but it must be pretty important given the above average levels of opposition we are experiencing at the onset. Pray we’ll be an encouragement to these churches and useful to the Holy Spirit as we run around making our reports.

Please continue to pray for our deacons and churches in Uganda. Pray for souls to be saved and the Christians to grow as God adds to His churches.

God bless and keep you!
