Coppedges are Back in Arua!

Sorry we are a little late in writing this entry... But we are so happy to tell you that Billy & Joanna Coppedge arrived in Arua on Friday, Feb. 1, with their new precious baby, Elsie Jayne! We are SO excited to have them back here in Arua with us! And I (Erica), personally, am LOVING having Elsie here!!! We are pictured to the right with the Coppedges, Simon, & our new WGM volunteer, Mark Landerholm.

Please pray for our Arua team this weekend & this coming week... We have our 2nd official pastor training in Nebbi tomorrow & Saturday (Feb. 8 & 9). Then we are leaving for a trip to Sudan next Friday, Feb. 15. It will be John & I, Billy, Jon Mayo (our field director), Terry & Karen Duncan (our regional director) and our new volunteer, Mark. The purpose of our trip is to visit the pastors that are being trained there. Up until now these men have been trained by John Onek, who has been traveling to Arua each month to be trained by us. It will be so good for us to finally meet these other pastors, encourage them, see where they actually are, and visit their congregations. We are in the process of making this another official WGM AGC training site for pastors, so this is a VERY exciting time for us! Before we came to Uganda, we said we would go to Arua in hopes of reaching Sudan & Congo, and God is making our vision a reality! Jesus has opened doors we could never have dreamed of!
