We’ve
been blessed for the last five months to have an apartment in Kansas City. Avant Ministries, another mission sending
agency based in Kansas City, had an available apartment that was in a convenient
location for us. The rent for the apartment
wasn’t in our budget, so I (Justin) have been doing grocery deliveries to make
up the difference. It’s been a nice
place to stay while we navigate Covid, travel restrictions, counseling
processes and joining a new church. God
has really blessed us with new friends, a community group and everything we
need for this season.
When we
moved in at Avant, they agreed to let us stay for six months and they said they
would re-evaluate. We don’t know what
the verdict will be on staying longer, but we’re praying that God will work out
the details. Our ideal situation would
be to find available missionary housing that would allow me to get back to the
curriculum development and church-raising activities that I would normally be
doing while here. The timing of our
return to Uganda and South Sudan is still uncertain. We’re getting counseling, we’re in the
membership process for a new church, we’re waiting for travel restrictions
between Uganda and South Sudan to be lifted so that being there would even be
possible, and we’re trusting God with the timing and details…but I’m getting
impatient!
Thank
you for sticking with us and continuing to support and pray for us during this
season that is frustrating and stressful for a lot of people, not just us. God has the outcome already and He’s still
good and faithful. Will you pray for us
in these areas?
- - Housing
- - Counseling
- - Return Plans
- - Uganda/South Sudan travel restrictions
- - Homeschool stress
- - Patience and Grace in our relationships and
daily outlook
- - Joining a new sending church
You’re a blessing to us!
Justin, Amy, Ezekiel and Caleb
