I’m going back! In
about a week I will be on an airplane to go back to Uganda. I’m not going by myself, I’ll even have
company. Chuck, who was our team leader
when we went to Lohutok in 2010 is ready to go back and visit so he is
accompanying me. The timing works out
perfectly, one of the classes that Paul is ready for is called The Shepherd and His Work which is a 10
module course on how to be a pastor.
Since I’ve never actually been a pastor, and Chuck is coming with me on
this trip, he will have the chance to lead Paul and hopefully some of the Lopit
men who have been working with Robert through this course.
I got a
message a few weeks ago from Scott about Michael. Scott asked Michael about his work in the
book that I gave him, and Michael seems to be repenting and following
Jesus. While I am in Lohutok for the
next month and a half I am hoping to have lots of time to sit with Michael,
read Scripture, and talk to him about his faith and what it means to follow
Jesus as a Lopit man.
Teresa
has been preparing for almost two years to go to secondary school in
Uganda. She now has all of the documents
she needs to travel, and I am hoping to help her get there during this trip. A friend from a church in Kansas gave money
last year for us to buy a 4-wheeler, which is sitting in Kenya and I’m hoping
to get that to Lohutok while I’m there.
Paul has been preparing for classes that I’m hoping to teach. There is a lot going on for the next few
weeks! I will be gone until mid-March.
Pray for Amy who is staying in Kansas City with the kids and navigating
homeschool while I am in Africa. Thank
you so much for keeping up with us, and for your faithful prayer and support!
Justin, Amy, Ezekiel and Caleb
