REFRESHED: Thank you for praying for us during furlough. Our last letter shared Emilie’s graduation and Abbie’s wedding. In August, Emilie married Tyler Gregory. They live in Pennsylvania, about an hour from Abbie and Paton. A week after the wedding, we helped Eric settle into college, then spent a full month traveling to meetings. Though we were busy, local churches greatly refreshed and encouraged us. Thank you also for praying about construction funding. Love gifts exceeded the $5,000 needed for the matching grant. Along with other funds we have been saving, this provides over half the money for our current commitment to the building contractor. Praise the Lord for His provision!

RETURNED: At the end of September, we returned to Uganda. As we were seated on the plane for our departure from Newark, another missionary texted us asking when was the last time we had traveled internationally without children. We thought back -- it was our Survey Trip in January 2002! We had sent out an email asking for prayers for safety and efficiency through customs and immigration. God answered! Though one checked bag didn't arrive with us, the airline delivered it the next day, clearing it through customs on our behalf!

RESUMED: Now that we're back, Amie is looking forward to being able to teach some of the Revelation lessons she worked on all year! We also created a 6-part Christmas series that showcases Christmas traditions celebrated around the world and how those traditions remind us of the God's Greatest Gift. Please pray with us that these lessons will help our church children live godly, think globally, and love generously.
Another big ministry prayer request is for this Friday, October 9. It is Uganda's Independence Day, and it's also the biggest day for the annual national Trade Show downtown. This event draws tens of thousands of Ugandans as well as hundreds of exhibitors from dozens of countries, including several countries closed to the Gospel. Our church family will be there with thousands of Gospel tracts, looking for opportunities to have Gospel conversations with the Ugandan attendees and the foreign exhibitors.

PLEASE PRAY FOR
• Trade Show Outreach on Friday, October 9, 2026. • The upcoming Children's Church 6-week Christmas lessons. • Our family in these new chapters of life..

PRAISE THE LORD FOR
• Emilie's wedding to Tyler Gregory. • $5,000 raised towards matching grant for construction at Faith Baptist Church. • God's protection in our travels and His provision for Eric to begin college.
