August Update

 Dear friends and family,

    On Saturday we had the graduation ceremony for our ten students at the Disciples of Jesus school. Pray for them to continue studying God's Word and for their continued involvement in ministry in their local churches.

Graduation Day!

    At the beginning of August we took the discipleship students on their last ministry trip to the village of Kinazi. Kinazi is a newer church that still meets under tarps next to the house of one of the elders. They have been working hard on their chapel building but still need a roof. Please pray for them to grow and be grounded in the Word.

    After our Work Permit application was rejected we submitted an appeal and are still waiting for an answer. We have been told it can take up to 4 months to hear back from the office so we aren't holding our breath, but we have committed our future to our loving Shepherd and would appreciate your prayers for us as well.

    In two weeks there will be a conference in Gambazi, a village near one of our churches that has been doing outreach there. Pray for the Spirit to convict hearts and for a clear presentation of the gospel.

    We appreciate your prayers for us and we are praying for you as well. In these troubled times you are living in, I would invite you to apply Jesus' words: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."

    Grace and peace to you,

        Luke, Gina and the 5 kiddos
