Updates!
There is so much great stuff going on right now in Karamoja that
it has taken some serious self-discipline (which I obviously haven’t had for
the past several months) to sit here, in Soroti, at my computer to write to
you.
In the peace villages there are 2 new Village Health Workers
(VHWs) in the groups that I’m training and assisting. I’m also in the process
of working with a group of Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs), assessing their
level of training and discerning how we can support and encourage them. The
medical needs feel a bit overwhelming right now and the workers, though trying
hard, are struggling with the diagnostics and critical thinking. Please pray
for them!
Also, out in the villages we are beginning to tell the Old
Testament stories the same way they tell stories, from memory while just
sitting together in the shade. People are very receptive. You can pray that
they are able to take the message of the stories and apply the biblical truths
to their lives.
Prayer Needs
"Men
may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our
persons, but they are helpless against our prayers." -Sidlow

Love and team unity- May they
know we are Christians by our love. (John 13:35)

More workers in Karamoja!

Health- Lately it seems
like every time I come back from Karamoja I’m sick.

I had the privilege last month of
going down to northwest Uganda to help with a medical outreach and church plant
project. It was a good break from my
normal routine and an encouraging group of nurses and doctors to work with.
