Jores are now in the US on furlough

Editor’s note:  My apologies to the Jores for this late news from their May Newsletter.  You may have read this but it bears repeating! 

“On April 19th, we were blessed with another daughter. She is amazing! Her big brothers and sister could not be more pleased and proud. We are grateful to God for this gift He has entrusted to us, as well as for the gift of your prayers. Thank imageyou for joining us in celebrating her new life.”

The Jores have arrived safely in the United States and are looking forward to their furlough:

“The kids are extremely excited about reuniting with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents, and especially about living at Grandpa & Grandma Monseth's house again. They have been talking about it for months... ‘Soon we'll get to eat Grandma's gingersnaps! Soon we'll get to help Grandpa in the barn! Soon we'll get to ride their pony! Soon we'll get to pick strawberries!’"

“These past few years Nate has spent a great deal of time discipling and training the Ugandan Ambassador Institute teachers so timagehat he could leave the classes in their hands when we leave. He is confident in their ability to continue the work well, and grateful for their hearts for the Lord and their excitement to teach His Word. The Jinja class, which Nate has been the sole teacher of for the past few years, will be taught by interns Micah Berger and Andrew Olson while we are on furlough. So thankful for these guys. Would you pray for them?”

With gratitude, Nate and Rhoda Jore, Elijah, Judah, Hannah, Jeremiah and Julia

Breaking News:  Tonight (Monday June 4th), in Beulah, ND, a first ever “virtual shower” was held for the Jores.  The WMF wanted to do something for the Jores’ new daughter and for the whole family as they return to the states.  A wish list was obtained from the Jores for every member of the family and members of the WMF gathered to share the gifts which will be sent to them in Minnesota.  A good time was had by all and we invite all women of the AFLC, and men too, to keep the family in your prayers as they travel around the country during their furlough.  Glad to have you back, Jores!
