Divine Appointments

We have arrived in Entebbe, Uganda.  The twenty eight hours of travel is now behind us and we are grateful for the Lord's watch care and provision.  The Lord always has special little gifts for His kids.  We had two divine appointments on our journey.  The first was at Washington-Dulles airport.  We were hungry after our trip across the country, so we went into a little sandwich shop in the airport.  Seating is always limited in those place and so we shared a table with a man sitting by himself.  He spoke to us and a conversation began.  It turns out that he is friends with a Calvary Chapel pastor in Entebbe.  He works in seed production for farmers and is on his way to Berlin.   He commented that his pastor-friend had been trying to get him to Uganda.  Perhaps the Lord will use our time with him to His glory.  It was an enjoyable time and we left with a new friend.

We journeyed on to Brussels on the next leg of our flight where we met Kelly.  She is a young lady from New Mexico and is a missionary sent out from Albuquerque.   She is serving north of Entebbe with a Calvary Chapel outreach there.  Brianna had actually met her previously.  We had a good time of fellowship with her before parting ways.

We arrived in Entebbe just before midnight.  All nine of our pieces of luggage made it at the same time.  Now how did that happen?  It was a short journey from the airport to our lodgings.  It is a beautiful setting and we had a good night's rest...all four hours of it!

This morning we got up and had a sweet time of fellowship.  We broke bread and had the requisite coffee which I made very strong in honor of our sweet sister Diana Farris.  So please let her know if she doesn't see this post.  The team is in really good spirits and we are excited to see what the Lord has in store in the coming days





We are getting ready to head northeast to Kitgum and the McCourtney's home.  It is an eight hour road trip, so please keep us in prayer for safety, provision and empowerment to do the work of ministry.  We thank you for joining us on this trip and covet your prayers.  May the Lord bless and keep you and the sheep of Crossroads Christian Fellowship in our absence.
