FAMILY THANK YOU: We were blessed to have our daughters, Abbie and Emilie, back in Uganda for Christmas and New Year's. They brought a college friend from the Dominican Republic, and she fit right in. We had a wonderful time having our family back together. Several of you sent Christmas gifts, and we are so grateful for your generosity. These gifts allowed us to get away for a couple of nights and do some hiking and ministry in eastern Uganda. THANK YOU! We look forward to being back together briefly when we come back for Abbie's graduation on May 9.
VEHICLE NEED: You prayed for us to find a vehicle back in 2021 when Abbie returned to go to college. God provided! Thank you for praying. Now that she's graduated, Abbie is buying that car from us. We will need to replace it before we return in April so we have a vehicle for us to use to attend graduation and for Emilie to use to get to and from work and college! We are looking for a 8-12 year old midsize SUV that will be reliable. Please pray that we identify the vehicle God wants us to have by the beginning of April.
CHURCH UPDATE: We had a great Friday Market Outreach in December. Many of our church family were able to participate throughout the day, and we were encouraged to see even our FBC children sharing the Gospel with other children. We've also enjoyed recent testimonies from our church family of friends and family members they have been able to lead to the Lord since the start of the year!
Please keep praying for our church construction. It looks unlikely that we'll be able to enter the new building by the end of March as originally planned. But through generous gifts from some of you and the faithful giving of our church members, God has provided funds to complete the church flooring, a church office and extra classroom, and gutters for the roof! So while it may be another few months before we can move into the building more of the dusty jobs will be done!
PRAISE THE LORD FOR
• Those who we and our church family have been able to see trust Christ this year!
• Additional funding to complete more of our church building.
• A great Marrieds' Conference at FBC with the Kearneys, missionaries from Ghana.
PLEASE PRAY FOR
• Continued safety and provision as our church building is constructed.
• God's provision and identification of future church leaders.
• Wisdom to identify the vehicle God has for us to use in the USA.
