Hello Dear Ones,
The rain is falling hard outside my window. I am sipping on a hot
African tea and finally writing to all of you. I have been so frustrated
with the lack of connection available here. I have felt very isolated
since arriving in Karamoja. But, due to a truck issue we have traveled
down to Mbale and are waiting for repairs to be done, which means that I
have a window of opportunity to send this email out.
Thank you so much for praying for me. It is such an encouragement as I
have needed those prayers. This has been an intense time of spiritual
warfare. All of my expectations of what life would be like here have
been challenged. His ways are not our ways nor are His thoughts our
thoughts. This is a truth that God keeps bringing me back to and keeps
encouraging me in. Despite the circumstances or changes that I face, He
remains faithful and true. He is continually working things together for
good. He is actively involved. It is good, but it is not easy.
So, I arrived in Karamoja to find that my team was in a spiritual
battle. The enemy had created some tension between my team, due to one
member Jean, who is having some serious health issues. Today Tom and
Jean left Karamoja/Uganda to return to the States to seek medical
treatment. They are hoping that they will be able to return back in a
month or so. I think that both of them might be feeling burnt out
spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally, so please pray they
will have a refreshing time as they visit the States. It's not easy
being so far away from home and many times we all feel burnt out and
need to be refreshed.
