The 90-day trip was an amazing success! I went to spend three months studying the language of the Acholi, and study I did. I have a lot of work to do to become fluent, but I am fairly capable in the marketplaces and with greetings and introductions. As you might imagine, healthcare interviews can be complicated, and I am still working on building my vocabulary and grammar to be competent with that. My teacher, Beatrice, was an amazing help.

We took on a few extra mission-related tasks, getting treatment for sick children who could not otherwise afford it, funding a woman's independence-building project, and sponsoring several healthcare workers as they build on their skillsets.

I am grounded for my upcoming shoulder surgery (SLAP tear repair), the recovery from which will take at least six weeks. After that, we get to meet our first (natural) grandchild. Then Cindy and I will spend the holidays between our two sets of aging parents. God willing, the New Year will find me back in Uganda, where I am increasingly at home.

Thank you for your prayers and support! This was an expensive trip with a lot of surprises, but it was clear that we were fulfilling the call of God at every turn.

In this time when Thanksgiving gives way to Advent, the world turns its collective attention from the people, places, and things for which it is grateful to the anticipation of something new. Cindy and I have come to reflect on the fellowship we have with those who follow these updates, who pray for us and our mission, who give or have given in partnership with us, or who have hosted information sharing luncheons in your homes. To all of you we say, “Thank you!” As we look ahead, we still are not certain about departure dates, but we believe God is leading us to partner with a particular mission, and we hope to firm up that relationship in the spring, with an indefinite long-term relocation by late summer or fall of 2021. What began as a seven-year preparatory wait is nearing the ocean crossing stage!

As you consider your options for Giving Tuesday please consider partnering with us. Visit our Donate page for more information. We will need to muster funds for training, relocation, transportation, and our room & board while in Uganda. Anything helps. 

God bless you and yours as you live missional in your homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods!
