Pat called today. He officiated a big wedding over the weekend and saw lots of old friends and old bible school students - who are now pastors. What great reunions he's had!! And what amazing stories they have to tell. Even now the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) from Uganda is terrorizing the Northern part of Congo. One of our former bible school students is a pastor in the area where the LRA has their base of operations. He told Pat that a month ago they fled on foot to escape the rebels. They traveled through the forest for 3 weeks and reached Isiro (where we used to live). Thousands of people are being displaced. Please pray for this critical situation. Because Northern Congo is so remote there is not a lot of news getting out and it is very hard to get supplies in.
Pat has heard so many testimonies of God's protection and faithfulness during all the fighting. I'm anxious for him to come home - once I have pictures I'll tell more of the stories.
We are praying for you and for your protection and finances...
