Whats New March 2006 Update Ugandan Elections & Challenges Ahead For many months we have been making preparations for the presidential, parliamentary, and local government elections. We are happy to report that only a few instances of violence was reported. President Musevini was re-elected for his third 5 year term. He has been leading this country since he came to power in 1986. Please continue to pray for the government and people of Uganda as the opposition is challenging the results citing instances of voter irregularities, tampering and intimidation. There are also many challenges ahead for the president this term. Significant power outages, corruption, loss of foreign investors, issues in northern Uganda as well as strained relationships with our neighboring countries is just a few of those challenges. Guest House Activities George and I continue to stay busy at the guest house. Many of our visitors have been FRM missionaries making preparations for the work that is beginning in Kitgum. Please pray for Pastor James Olal, his wife Helen and there two children Sam and Susan (CC Nimule, Sudan). James and Helen have been staying with us for some time as doctors are trying to find the cause of Helen's health problems. George continues to work on the vehicles and fixing things around the guest house. There is always something that needs repaired or replaced. We are diligently working to get the architectural and structural drawings completed for the guesthouse expansion before leaving for furlough. Pray that the local government will approve the plans quickly. Much of our efforts in March focused on making preparations for a team coming in April to minister in Kitgum. Please pray for them as they are considering if this is where the Lord would have them serve as long term missionaries. This past week we sent a 4 ton truck loaded with needed food and supplies to Kitgum. Pray that the Lord will open doors for ministry opportunities in April and Lord willing, the purchase of property for CC Kitgum. Pray also that the Lord will raise up a shepherd for His flock in Kitgum.
