Prayer Update #9 ~ Endeavoring to Finish Well

 [originally posted 4 Aug 2022]

Dear Family & Friends,

Please pray that we finish our conference well. Later this afternoon we will travel back to Mbarara and then back to Entebbe on Friday evening. My team members depart for their return trips to Pennsylvania and Minnesota on Saturday night. I will take the opportunity to travel on Saturday to the nearby city of Jinja where I will visit the offices of Good Neighbors, a Korean development NGO, with whom one of my most outstanding students from Handong now serves. 
Following that visit, I will return to Entebbe on Monday to board my homeward bound flight via Brussels and Chicago. If all goes according to schedule, I am due to arrive into St. Louis by 3:30 in the afternoon to the warm welcoming arms of my family.
I continue to greatly value your mindfulness in prayer for these final stages of my visit here in the amazing country of Uganda! I will be more than happy to share more stories of my experiences here as we meet along the Way.
“Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete.”                  (2 John 12)
grace and peace for this day,
brother cordell 
Location: Bushenyi, Uganda

For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother [and sister], because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you. (Philemon 4–7) During my final three days in Uganda, "the Pearl of Africa", I spent time visiting Jinja Town, where I was richly blessed by the refreshing fellowship of God's people, and especially the fellowship of my Handong student, Boyeon Han. Jinja is one of the most international cities in Uganda.  Many NGO's have located their offices there, including the Korean NGO, Good Neighbors, with whom Boyeon has been serving for the six years.  She ...

Prayer Update #4 ~ ". . . as He Witnessed the Grace of God . . . "

[originally posted 27 Jul 2022]   “When Barnabas arrived in Antioch, he rejoiced as he witnessed the grace of God, and he exhorted them all that they should remain faithful to the Lord Jesus with steadfast purpose of heart.” Acts 11:23 As I anticipated and prepared to come to Uganda, I prayed that God would give me the spirit of Barnabas to encourage and strengthen the faith of my dear sisters and brothers in Christ.  Now that I have been in their midst, especially these past three days, the Lord Jesus has given me the blessings of Barnabas both to witness the grace of God so abundantly present in their hearts and lives, and to rejoice with them in praise and worship of Christ who unites us with one another in Him.
