We are here

We are in Soroti! I will not write much, but we wanted everyone to know that we are here and settling in! So many stories to share when we return. I really wanted to update you though on some specific prayer requests.

On Sunday we will be heading to an displaced people camp. We have been warned that this will be a hard day. So much poverty and we will not have food here. This also is the day 3 years ago that Steve's brother Jim was diagnosed with cancer. So many memories and we remember Deb especially on this day, as it is also their anniversary. Please pray that we can deal with all the emotions as they come and that we can give it over to God.

We also ask for prayers that we can be a blessing on these people. There are so many needs and help us to love them and share with them the love of Jesus. It is hard to know exactly what to say sometimes. We pray that God will give us the words to speak!

We are looking forward to telliing you many stories, but know that we feel your prayers and we ask that you continue to pray fervantly! God bless you all!!

We'll be praying! The IDP camp was really hard for me, personally, so I will especially be praying for you as you go there. The boys play against Drew's team today; it will be good to see your kids---we'll give them hugs from you, and we'll cheer extra hard for Drew when he's up to bat!
