God is Making a Way!

God has Provided a House for us!

Thank you so much for your prayers! God has provided for us above and beyond what we ever imagined! We loved the pink house when we went to see it in Arua this past weekend, and on Tuesday, we signed the contract with our new landlord! We will be moving the weekend of March 17th! This is such an answer to prayer, and we are so grateful to God for providing the perfect house for mission teams and us!

Also, when we arrived in Arua, Joanna Coppedge picked us up from the airport with some great news: A missionary family needed us to “store” some of their furniture and even their two German Shepherds while they went home to Canada from May of this year until November of 2008 (which is almost exactly the time we will be in Arua!!!) They have some beds and desks and bookcases, which were much needed, as we have mission teams staying with us in May, June, July, Sept, Oct… and more! This is definitely Jesus’ perfect timing and provision! I (Erica) have especially been wanting a dog, so I am so excited about “Scout” and “Joque!” This weekend, Jesus gave us not only a house, but beds and desks to furnish it and dogs to guard it! Praise the Lord! He is so good!

Flying in Uganda…

Just thought you may enjoy some pictures of an “airport” in Uganda and the plane that we flew on to make our trip to Arua! We were the last 2 people to get on the plane (along with a precious Italian nun in her 80’s), and the only seats open were the 3 in the front row!!! So, as you can see from the picture, we were literally sitting right behind the pilot and got to watch him drive the plane! It was pretty amazing! There was no flight attendant… only the co-pilot who told us to fasten our seatbelts and not to smoke and then crawled over our legs into his seat! The airport you see is in Moyo, Uganda, which is a very small town right outside of Arua where we stopped on our way. A dirt runway, a field to “taxi” on, one small building, and several huts made up the “Moyo Airport!”



Meet Josh…

(We have uploaded a video of Josh to the right for those of you who would like to “meet” him!)

Josh is still asking questions about Christianity, Jesus, and the Bible, but he has not yet come to a decision to accept Christ as his Lord and Savior. Please continue to pray for his salvation. He truly is thinking so hard and pondering what he is learning, and for that, we are grateful. He has been reading in John, and he prays with us when we have meals together. It is so precious to watch him realize that he can just talk to God just like he talks to anyone else!
