Another Successful Pastor Training!

This past weekend we had yet another successful pastor training in Nebbi! The guys asked great questions as usual and were very attentive and eager to learn! And they are really taking this training seriously... they all even turned in their homework that we had assigned them last month, which we weren't really sure would happen!

And it was so great to have Billy Coppedge back! And the 2 future WGM Arua missionaries, Michael & Brenda Guilliam, were in for a visit to see Arua, and they were also able to help out with the training! I was thankful for all of the extra help with this training, as I was able to stay home & get some paperwork done, as well as have some quality time with Joanna & Elsie Jayne! Thank you for praying for the training, and for us!

And after the training, the boys (John, Billy & Mark) were kind enough to pick up some charcoal for some of our friends here in Arua. (It's a lot less expensive out in the villages than it is here in town). I just thought this picture was fun of them after they had taken about 200 pounds down from being tied to the top of our car!

Please Pray for our Trip to Yei, Sudan this weekend!

http://www.arcrelief.org/images/content/pagebuilder/10886.gifThis Saturday, Feb. 16, we will leave for our trip to Yei, a town in Southern Sudan to meet all of the pastors that have been trained under John Onek, who has been coming to us every month in Arua for training. (For more details, see our previous blog entry). This will be our first trip to Sudan, so we are really excited to see what opportunities God may have for us there! Yei is only about 93 miles from Arua, but it takes 5 hours, because the roads are so bad! So please pray for us as we travel this weekend & see what God may have in store for the future of AGC in Sudan! We return on Tuesday, Feb. 19, so we'll update the blog about our trip when we get back! Thanks for praying!

Hi Guys,
It is so great to be able to keep up with what you are doing there in Arua through your blog! Your pictures and descriptions are great! Keep up the good work! We are praying for you here in Wilmore. Our cabinet prayer time for the world includes all of you every Wednesday as well. Tell Mark and the Coppedges hi for us too.
