Missy called again this morning. The whole team had piled into their vehicle, some on the top, and came into Moroto to celebrate the 4th. She still is excited to be there and sounds strong. She is learning about spiritual warfare. There is a lot of oppression there. She finds herself singing praise songs, doing warfare in the heavens. The enemy has a lot of strongholds over the people in that area, and it takes much prayer before there are any breakthroughs. So keep praying that strongholds will come down.
"2Co 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
On their hike further up the mountain she said they came to a point where they had a beautiful view into Kenya. She stood in awe of the beauty.
The physical demands have not been as hard on her as I thought. I asked her if she wanted to run with me when she gets back. She said, "No way. I hate running, but I'll walk twenty miles with you!" Well she's got me beat there. She is getting in tremendous shape. They are living at an elevation of around 6000'.
The weather is nice there. It gets cold at night. The food is.......well, they have enough, but don't offer her rice for any meal when she gets back. They eat it along with some kind of mush three times a day. She relishes her power bars she took with her, so she is conserving them. How blessed we are here in the US with our variety and endless supply of food.
They will be leaving the area they are in now, around the 17th and going to another area. Then they will make their way back to Kampala and leave the 21st. They arrive in Dallas on the 22nd for debriefing and then she can come home on the 24th. So we probably will not hear from her for a couple of weeks.
Thanks for your support and prayers!
Jack
