FAMILY. In our last prayer letter, we asked you to pray for Abbie’s ear as she had developed an infection which was protruding from behind her ear. We praise the Lord that it was not mastoiditis as we had thoght (that would have required medical treatment in another country), but just a severe abscess. After lancing it open and treating it with about two months of stronger antibiotics, it finally cleared up. In June, Abbie turned 7, and Emilie turned 5. Eric is talking a lot more and seems to be excited to try out his new words.
CALVARY RADIO. More answers to prayer since our last letter -- Calvary Radio is now back on the air, and able to reach a larger coverage area during our low-power (morning and evening) hours. We shared the details in our e-mail updates. If you do not receive those but would like to know how God worked out the details for us to be on-air again so quickly, please let us know and we will be glad to share that with you.
S.M.A.R.T. In May, the BIMI ‘SMART’ team came to serve with us. You can learn more about SMART on the www.BIMI.org website, but the purpose of SMART is to give those who believe God is calling them to missions a realistic experience of what life is like as a missionary. They were a huge blessing in ministry not only here in Soroti, but also in some of the surrounding village areas as well as ministering with our church people on a missions trip to Lira, a town 90 minutes away. There the SMART Team and a total of 10 people from our local church assisted a Filipino pastor with a construction project at the Christ Biblical Baptist Church.
DISCIPLESHIP. In the last few weeks, we have had the privilege of leading two of our guards to the Lord. Another has been asking questions, and we pray he will accept Christ soon. Dan has begun discipleship lessons with one of the guards, and he plans to begin with the other one after we get back from the capital city next week. It is time to renew our work permits, so we covet your prayers for safety as we travel to and from the capital city as well as for efficiency in the application process.
PRAISE THE LORD FOR
• His healing of Abbie’s ear.
• Providing the equipment needed to get Calvary Radio back on air in only 3 weeks!
• The SMART Team and the opportunities both during and as a result of their visit.
PLEASE PRAY FOR
• The two men recently saved and the one man who has shown a sincere interest.
• The renewal of our work permits.
For Souls in Uganda,
Dan, Amie, Abbie, Emilie and Eric Dwire |
