September Rains, and October Heat

Update on Ryan

As I write this update its now the month of October(as if you havent noticed).  While all you on that side of the world are watching the colors of the Autumn leaves, life continues on here.  It took many years to get used to not having real seasons.  We have seasons of course, wet and dry.  For the last month and a half I've been adapting to the changes in temperature.  Living next to a giant green mountain had its perks, cool weather even when it was really hot.  Kitgum on the other hand is lacking mountains but at least there is a river that borders the town.  Every day these days is like the mid nineties and as many of you experienced this summer, its not a very nice temperature.  I mean if I had a pool that would be a great temp to live at, but sadly I am lacking a pool.
  So I have now taught the church and a few other ministries for a month.  It has been a good switch for me because teaching in town is a bit more fun.  In the village I taught things rather simply knowing that the people I ministered to were less educated.  So extra illustrations, and little jokes here and there are lost in the silence.  In town I can use all those extra ways of keeping people attentive and applying the truths of scripture to their lives.  It has been a challenge, and I like challenges.
   I have all these different ideas I want to put forth in this new area of ministry but I want to move slowly.  One of the ministries on my heart is to get the youth involved in the church.  We have a few but I desire to bring many youth into the church.  So please pray as I plan school outreaches in the coming weeks.  I want to open a door for further ministries.  The other day I tracked down all the schools in town and they're really spread out.  It's funny how every town is different in their layout.  The kids have to walk a long way to get to their schools.  So please pray for open doors in the schools and step one of my plan to reach the youth of this town.  As for me personally I ask that you would pray that God would fill me with his Spirit daily, and that I would long for what He longs for
  Oh I almost forget a few last things.  First thing I have started a page to raise funds to get a well for the farm in the village.  We want to provide work for people year round and abundant water.  All we have to raise is 2500 dollars and we can put one in so far we have $350 here is the link www.facebook.com/GiveABoreholeToMoruKo?ref=tn_tnmn  Please help us to make this happen.  Secondly my motorcycle was stolen over 2.5weeks ago.  We are still keeping our ears open for whatever news may come, but it could be a lost cause.  Pray that in the case God still wants me to have a motorcycle that he would provide the funds a good one probably costs $1500.  Please commit these things to prayer.  Thanks for reading
