Pray for the Chandlers

Several months ago I read the story of a British couple, Rachel and Paul Chandler, who were sailing from Tanzania to the Seychelles. They were captured by Somalian Pirates. Today I read that they are still being held hostage with demands for ransom. It moves my heart that Rachel, especially, is very ill. You can read the story:

Join me, please, in praying for them.

Our Dear Visitor

I recall the many times in Uganda when the youth choirs would sing songs to "Our Dear Visitor"! Now I want to dance and sing because "Our Dear Visitor" is coming to visit from San Francisco arriving tomorrow. Jaclyn Konczal who was such a beautiful ministry partner and community member in Adjumani is coming to visit us and to connect with our family and friends and to get a taste of our beloved Imago Dei CC and PDX.

We'll have a reunion together with Erin Carkner and hopefully Darin and Andra Williams who spent time in our Adjumani community, as well. It should be a lovely time together!
