“The Dis
covering Change course started late due to
illness, but well! Please pray Tuesdays through to Nov 19th that we would sense the Spirit moving to enable real change in all of us! Prayer is also appreciated for coun
selees who are struggling greatly, mentees' support, our church's challenges in a liberal denomination, and my financial support.”
Hallowe’en was a pleasure.
The children of two Afghani families and one Ethiopian family gathered around the picnic table and enjoyed peanut butter cups. The parents and grandparents brought a fruit plate, and we all enjoyed our smiles and non verbal conversation,
except for the children, who know all about Hallowe’en now that they are in school.
Bombs are dropping all around the Home of Hope in Kehaleh up the road to Damascus, Including one that flew over their home and dropped nearby. Rita, the secretary, drove up to Alay where the public school is to register the children. The school is full of the refugee children fled from Beirut and Baca’a.
The UBER driver was my first muslim in months. A young father grown up in California (?) and Wisconsin! How had he liked Wisconsin? He got used to it and learned to like the winter and described dry cold etc. Did he know Arabic? Yes he understands it, but doesn’t use it. He understood: “However God, demonstrating His love for us when we were even still sinners, the Messiah died for us “ in Arabic. So the love of God was shared. There was another American passenger in the UBER. Shared ride is cheaper.
Grandson, Nicolas, has a professor who is Lebanese (!) and terribly worried about his wife and new twin daughters still in Lebanon. Nicolas put us in touch and we had lots to share. Nicolas had already clued him in what I had been up to in Lebanon. So God is reaching out everywhere and keeping us in His business. He’s very good at it!
"I woke up in the middle of nowhere in the morning at 3am and decided to start singing almost all the songs we used to sing together praising and worshiping God, among them is this one I decided to record and share with you!!!"
My dear friend,Barnabas sent me this. He is the one I helped when he was a student and we used to sing in the student ministry. His daughter is called Hanneke. I felt so blessed to get this from him. We used to sing many songs and this is one of my favorites!
He is the dentist who was a student with the student movement. He paid me back the school fees after he got the job. A wonderful Christian man!
His daughter is named Hanneke. She studied all the science subjects and passed. Now she is hoping to get into medical studies.
Congratualtions Bob on your 95th birthday. Bob is a long time friend and supporter of KWM workers.
Bill missed a weekly Zoom meet-up with L2L Kenya leaders, “but our CEO Brian said they were bubbling with enthusiasm. The trigger was
our funding for the first couple of used boda-bodas to enable quicker travel for our regional leaders. Their desire to spread the news about L2L from village to village is strong! Pray that smart decisions will be
taken re: purchases, insurance and distribution. Pray for safety. And pray for effectiveness!”
Students (former and current) sponsored by the OPC Nakaale mission: back row: Louse John Bosco, Locap Emmanuel, Lomokol James, Lokuso Francis, Chegem Mark, Losike Samuel, Angella Paul, front row: Loduk Joseph, Nangiro John, Locoro Emmanuel, and Alebo Moses. (not pictured: Loduk John and Onyang Joseph). Please pray for Lokuso Francis (pictured above in the Lakers jersey) as he writes exams these next few weeks. He will finish S4 next month. Nangiro John is another student currently in the mission sponsorship programme. He will finish S3 in December. These two are both at a local secondary school in Karamoja within walking distance from the mission. Lomokol James (yellow shirt) is studying at Mt Elgon School of Nursing in Mbale. It is a two-year programme. I forgot to mention Timo who is also being sponsored by the Karamoja mission to attend Knox School of Theology in Mbale. He will finish his three-year programme in May of next year. The other guys in the picture have either graduated or been kicked out of mission's school sponsorship programme for various reasons. Please continue to pray for them as well. There are now four students that I am managing on behalf of the mission, instead of eleven when I started a year and a half ago.

Hi again. I don't know. Today I do have some more energy but had no appetite for 3 days and stayed in bed just exhausted. Last evening I had a bit to eat. Made myself some mashed potatoes and the girls had cooked rice and chicken. I added a small piece of chicken and the gravy. Soon after I had to lay down again. I am considering to quit teaching as I am still feeling somewhat weak and need to see a doctor. I hope to go to Malolo tomorrow morning.
