Dear ministry partners,

I just wanted to get off one last note to you before leaving tomorrow for a month. God has once again proven himself faithful in supplying all the funds needed for this ministry time in Rwanda and Uganda. Even though He has done it over & over, I am still blown away by the way He supplies what I need in the most unexpected ways. Whether you give to this ministry by monthly support or a one time gift to help with the trip, I want to thank you most sincerely and pray that God will richly bless you for your generosity. I would not be able to go train African pastors without people like you standing behind me with prayer and financial help.

I do ask once again to pray for me and the team as we travel (it is grueling at times), that all luggage will arrive with us, that the Lord will grant strength & good health as we teach, and that the Holy Spirit will equip us for every situation we will face. Please pray for Sarah and the families of the rest of the team as they are left behind. I just learned this morning that one of the team, Rick Renninger (full time ELI staff) that was going to be with me for the entire month will not be joining us in Rwanda at this time due to the impending death of his mother. This impacts the trip in several ways, but God is in control and has known this change all along. Please pray for Rick during this difficult time and for the readjustment on our part.

Again, I thank you for sharing in what God has called me to do. I will be sending field reports as internet is available. It's always exciting to see what God does on each trip!
