One of our students in Butagaya is named Daniel (see photo). He started attending the class when he was not a believer with the intention, as he shared with others later, of seeing what we were doing and being argumentative. Instead of arguing, he found that he was being impacted by the Word of God that he was hearing. He now openly confesses to be a follower of Christ and never misses a class. Praise the Lord for the power of His Word that transcends culture!
The class in Naigobya has faced some challenges in the past month. On May 1st I was asked to stop coming to Naigobya to teach. There are a lot of church politics involved with the decision to ask me to stop coming.
When one door closes another opens. At the same time things were developing in Naigobya, there was another group that requested the training to be brought to their area. They had learned about the training from some of the students in Butagaya and were very interested in beginning the training. After meeting with them, we decided to begin training in Kagoma this Saturday, June 5th. We will start with the first story (Creation). In the Butagaya class, which meets on Mondays, we are on story 58 (Ananias and Sapphira).

As translation and recording continues in Lusoga, we have recently started recording the Bible stories in Lango (the language of one of the northern tribes of Uganda). I plan to record the first eight stories in Lango on a Mega Voice player this week. Speaking of which, the Mega Voices continue to be making an impact. The first 37 are in circulation and we have another 80 that should arrive the end of July. Thank you to all of you who have given to finance this project!
The family is doing well and the anticipation is building as we await Baby Jore’s arrival (due July 5th). Rhoda was recently on bed rest for about a week due to an infection which was causing contractions, but she has recovered and we are all thankful to have her back on her feet. We would appreciate your prayers as we plan to deliver in Kampala (2 ½ hours from Jinja).
Thank you for backing us with prayer. It is exciting to see God's hand at work here. May He bless you all with a renewed zeal for the glory of His Name!
