Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be

So where were you 39 years ago? We were in a remote outpost in Zambia, starting a village church, among other things. I recently heard that the church continues to flourish. What an encouragement!

So it was exciting to hear about Goibei, where we served in Africa most recently. Yesterday’s report was that retreats continue to be held, and that money generated is still able to support the 10 familes who worked with us, and to maintain the beautiful grounds.

What about Bombo, the Missionary Training Centre in Uganda where we hope to go? Their first training seminar took place this week, and 40 eager pastors gathered to hear about going to remote villages in the Congo, Sudan, and Ethiopia.

In another 39 years, I believe we will be hearing good reports about Bombo, too. Your support makes it possible for us to be involved! God bless.

13 Days To Go

In less that 2 weeks, the first “MissionFest” training school will take place in Bombo, Uganda. There are 45 eager workers who want to be trained to go to remote places in the Congo, Sudan, and Somalia. It is even possible that some pygmies will be there, from the forests of the Congo.

International speakers are prepared to arrive for the 4 days of instruction, and the camp manager is working hard with Rev Simon Peter Emiau to get the grounds ready. There is even the possibility that power will be installed by then.

Your support has made it possible to subsidize this event. Pastors who cannot afford the full registration fee will be able to attend because of you.

Manwhile, we continue to raise support for the next 2 events…

Thanks, and may God be with you.
