We left home on Sunday Jan 7th on a new unknown adventure. We had a 15 hour lonnnng flight to Dubai, UAE. We landed, cleared customs, checked in at Holiday Inn Express and headed out on the metro into the city at 9 pm. Beautiful city, amazing buildings and friendly people.

Tallest building in the world( I think!)

This lady came out of Islam and through God's intervention was given her daughter back from the father's family. She wanted to dedicate her to the Lord.

Praying for the daughter.

 

"But in every nation anyone who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him." Acts 11:35

Homeward Bound

We are in the  beautiful city of Kigali Rwanda ready to catch our flight home tonite.
We are extremely  tired  but also in awe of where God has taken us the last 5
and 1/2 weeks. We have traveled many miles safely in a trusty vehicle, ate way too much food, met many wonderful people, heard tragic stories almost beyond belief, and have seen the Love and message of Jesus shared in Uganda. So we praise our God for his mercy and grace. Looking forward to Christmas at home. "Peace on Earth- Good-
will to Man!"

Fellowship at our "home" with some young couples-a
Good evening of laughter and sharing.

We traveled to Rushere, about 4 hours away
to see friends Peter and Sharon and be
at a conference at their church and the
next day at a village church. This is their
boys Timothy, Benjamin, and David.
