Wings Over Uganda & A Friend Comes to Visit.


We had a fabulous time in Karamoja preaching in a prison and a few schools, witnessing many salvation's and deliverance's at the crusade, and of course getting our pictures taken with the indigenous cattle people!

One of the highlights was one of the nights at the crusade Jon Dunagan (an evangelist from Oregon) demonstrated reconciliation and humility when he washed the feet of Drake Kanaabo the Ugandan Evangelist before the whole crowd. Not only that, he had two pastors from warring tribes (these tribes are the ones who fight and kill each other for cattle and have been for many years) wash each others feet demonstrating how the love of Christ can bring even enemies together. It was powerful, as these men began to weep as they humbled themselves, demonstrating the unifying love of Christ!

To get to and from Karamoja we flew with MAF (Missionary Aviation Fellowship), which was a wonderful 1 hour flight as opposed to a 13 hour drive! On the flight back the pilot let Brent co-pilot and Brent flew us to Kampala apart from the landing part of it. I think Brent was thrilled to get to brush up on his skills! Way to go Brent! We were humbled though by a group of Ugandans who came 21 hours by truck, standing most of the way to help with the crusade. These were some of the most passionate dedicated believers we've met.

A few days later we were privileged to receive our friend Seth Brown from the U.S who will be staying with us for 3 months. He's been here two days now getting over the jet lag and culture shock, but off and running and ready to step into what God has for him here.

Thanks for all your love and prayers, keep checking in often for more updates!!

You guys are doing amazing things down there in Africa. I know that you know that, but I wanted to say it because it hits me fresh every time I watch your videos and look at the pictures and read the testimonies that you guys are letting the Lord do amazing things through you for those Africans. Family Life Church is praying for you and the people. We sure do love you guys!
