Answer to Prayer!

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.”  (Eph 3:20-21)

George and I want to thank you for all of your prayers, especially regarding our challenges in finding housing since relocating to Ft. Portal, Uganda.  The Lord has answered in His perfect timing and by providing abundantly beyond all that we ask or think!  We looked at a house a couple of days ago and have verbally agreed to terms to move in on September 1stPlease pray as we finalize the tenant agreement and that the owner will be faithful to complete the remaining work on the house.  The house needs to be painted and some cabinetry needs to be completed, but the house is of new construction and built to western design and standards.  An older, single women, named Gladys and a younger man named Samuel will live on the compound with us in the boy’s quarter that is located behind the main house.  They are cousins to the owner Olive, who lives and works in Kampala.  They have been living on and taking care of the compound on her behalf.  Their presence will help ease any security concerns as they are from this village and have family in the surrounding area.  They will help to take care of the sizeable compound which also has a matooke (local green banana) farm and a large garden area.  They have also agreed to share some of the garden area with us so that we also can plant a garden.  The house is located in an area called Kamengo, off the main road leading into downtown Ft. Portal.  It is nestled into a quiet, village setting surrounded by plush, green hills covered with garden plots and pasture land spectacled with grazing cattle.  It also has a view of Rwenzori Mountains in the distance and is very near to one of the beautiful crater lakes.  We can’t wait to move in, meet our neighbors and really begin the discipleship ministry that the Lord has placed in our hearts!

In His Grip,
George and Luan
