We are in a season of flurries. Flurries of activity are
frequent, almost constant some days. This season is marked by lots of people
coming and going; travel, trips to the airport, arrangements to be made, and
lots of, “hurry-up—let’s-go!” We have the privilege of welcoming people into
Uganda, showing people the ministries in which WGM Uganda missionaries serve,
hearing testimonies of transformation in lives and communities and hearing how
people are being served.
Some days this season is very tiring. Some days we hear
heart-breaking stories. Some days the flurry requires traipsing through the
mud. Some days, it doesn’t even matter and we don’t even notice the fatigue and
our hearts rejoice and we don’t even see the mud.

| Worship during Masese AGC service |
After a traffic-hassled trip from Kampala to Jinja and a
restless night in a noisy town, we experienced our Living God in the worship
service at Masese AGC. The music was beautiful, the children adorable, God’s
Word was inspiring and the Holy Spirit moved among us. People chose to go deep
with Christ, leaving behind the comfort of shore and the safety of shallow
commitment. What a joy to pray with them. And joy flowed again as three young
people prayed in repentance of sin and acceptance of Christ’s free gift of
salvation. We rejoiced with the angels in heaven!

| Overlooking the Nile River |
Before the next flurry we had a bit of Sabbath rest as we paused
on the shore of the great River Nile.

| Streams in the path |
Tuesday evening it rained, hard. Large drops pelted down, creating
streams of flowing water where just a couple of weeks ago the dry and dusty
path felt crunchy beneath our feet. Today, the rain eventually slowed and mamas
carefully made their way through the mud and filth to hear God’s Word taught in
truth and to pray. Missionary mamas joined in, interceding and asking for Truth
to be revealed and for Living Water to flow and cleanse. Women found hope in Jesus
and a new freedom in His cleansing.
This is a season of flurries, and all of heaven is
rejoicing!
