June and July were no different from other months. We stay quite busy between the children’s ministries, church, Sunday school, village ministries, and book distribution trips. ( I continue to do poorly at timely postings to the blog.) I am tired of my own excuses; however, on top of my procrastination, we have been going […]

EXCITING NEW POSSIBILITIES!!??
Peter, Henry and I traveled to eastern Uganda in late July to attend a workshop presented by The Navigators, an international Christian organization.
