We wanted to update you regarding the pastor who had been arrested. He was released from the police station last Saturday but has been required to report back this past week. It seems he was indeed guilty of the charge of forgery. He had gotten in with a group of people who had been committing such crimes and thankfully he was caught on his first try. Please pray for a spirit of genuine repentance for him and wisdom in restoring him as a minister of the Gospel.
We forgot to thank you in our last update for praying for our time with Del Palmer and Kevin Olson. We had a delightful time with them and they encouraged our family a great deal. We also had several meetings with the pastors and church leadership here in Jinja as well as several trips to the surrounding villages. Del came to see the work and encouraged the local leadership. He also shared with them the AFLC World Mission's vision and purpose. Kevin's main purpose for being here was to help us plan for the training program we hope to begin late this year. He also blessed us with his handy-man skills in helping to fix our dryer, fridge, car, and lights! Much progress was made and we were very much encouraged by their time here.
Life is going well and we have been healthy. We will be traveling to Kampala tomorrow for an ultrasound and checkup for Rhoda. We are just two months away from the due date! We have recently updated our blog (www.jorenews.blogspot.com) so be sure to check out the new pictures! God bless you all and thanks for your involvement in the ministry here.
Nate, Rhoda, boys, and baby
