- …and enjoy Nate and Rhoda’s hospitality.
In an attempt to make the return trip more bearable than the trip going to Jinja, we took a different bus line when we left on Tuesday. It was slightly more comfortable but required that we stay overnight in
As soon as we arrived here, we began making our final preparations to travel the rest of the way to Mbulu on Friday. We have accomplished much in the last day and a half. I believe I mentioned that we were hoping to pick up another speaker for our Jesus Film showings. Unfortunately, they are still out of stock but we will take care of that another time.
It is exciting to be heading back to Waama. As I mentioned in my last email, the school is scheduled to open officially this Monday, October 22nd. We appreciate your prayers for final preparations being made by teachers and students alike. We are also anxious to begin our weekend ministry schedule again.
Thanks to the generous gifts of several people, we have purchased over 350 Swahili Bibles and will be buying another 100+ in the local Kiiraqw language once we arrive in Mbulu. All of these will be given free of charge to the village churches we visit each weekend. They will then be placed by the local church in the hands of either new Christians or those who otherwise would not be able to afford a Bible of their own.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Pray for our trip to Mbulu tomorrow which will be the first time we have ridden our motorcycles outside of Arusha. Pray also for our continued health and protection. Again, we also ask you to continue to pray for the school and the church body as a whole in which we are seeking to have a positive influence. God is good and we are encouraged as we see his hand at work. May you each experience His richest blessings in your life, as well. I will be in touch again within the next couple weeks from Mbulu.
In His service,
