Uganda Update # 10

We received a call from Marissa Sunday morning. We were pleasantly surprised. She was in Moroto, and they had come down off the mountain to get some supplies. She did not have much time left on her calling card and the time ran out while I was speaking to her.

She sounded great and was still very excited about being there. It has been over 30 days in country for the team. Sometime this week she is going deeper into the mountains with a smaller team. They will be trying to make contact with some tribes that have not had much contact with the outside world. So please pray that God will open the door for the Gospel to be shared with these lost tribes. It is a very difficult hike, high in the mountains, so pray for strength, stamina and health. Continue to pray for Christy Brown as she and her husband make the decision when to head home and have the baby.

There is an update from Awe Star out today. Also, remember the Peru team that Kelsey and Kaleb Abbrat are on.

The Awe Star Office has received a text message from Tye and Christy. The report is that ministry is going well. They continue to ask everyone to pray for rain. It is one of the keys to seeing God move among the villagers. As they are entering the homestretch of the work in Uganda they are asking that your prayers be focused not only upon the ministry to the Karamajongs but you would also pray that the team will finish the race unified, focus and healthy. Many times we are asked what is the hardest part of working on foreign soil and the answer is …the last thirty minutes. As you get near the finish line it is easy to begin to transfer you thoughts to back home, getting a hot shower, eating a home cooked meal, seeing family and friends. Pray for the team that their best ministry will happen in the last…thirty minutes.



Blessings to all,

Jack
