Uganda Team Update #6

0 Comments

Just received the following update from Kelly:

Mission Front:

1) Jon Gasca preached Thursday afternoon at the village crusade, and three people dedicated their lives to the Lord, including two young men in their early 20s and a teenage girl who is terminally ill with AIDS. Praise God for his kindness to these precious ones!

2)  Please pray for Isaac (health update below) and Drew who will both be preaching on Friday.  Each will preach one sermon at the Youth Conference and Isaac is currently scheduled to preach at the afternoon village crusade.

Health Updates/Prayer Requests:

1)  Eric McAllister:  His low-grade fever finally broke Thursday evening before bed, but then slowly returned by this morning; he seems to be the most uncomfortable to date, and will be staying in again on Friday to continue to heal. Please pray for a quick return to full health!

2) Three more team members came down with low grade fevers and, thus, returned to the guest house Thursday afternoon: Casey Somerville, Danny Mays and Hye Joon Pak.  All three are feeling better this morning, however, Hye Joon will be staying back at the guest house to continue to rest and heal. Danny and Casey are fever-free and will be going out with the team.

3)  Courtney Ricucci and Jake Campbell both developed low-grade fevers Thursday evening.  Jake awoke fever-free and feeling well enough to go out Friday with the team.  Courtney will stay back at the guest house for continued rest and recuperation.

4)  Danielle Warren continues to struggle with wakening during the night.  Melanie Garfield has also begun having difficulty sleeping.  Please pray for both of these dear ladies that they will get the physical rest their bodies need.

5) Matt Wahl is feeling much improved and was able to sleep well again.  He will be going out with the team on Friday.

6)  Isaac’s fever broke a few hours before bedtime. He is generally feeling better and is going out to lead the team today.

7) Isaac reports that the entire team is officially exhausted from their busy schedule. Please pray for overall strength and stamina, both physical and spiritual.

As always, it is a privilege to partner with you in prayer! What an encouragement to know that our gracious God is busy doing His work in Uganda, including tenderly shepherding our dear friends and family during their sojourn there.
