In the Refiner’s Fire:



Walt: Hi Folks.    Last year Adam and Helen had organised a mini DTS (discipleship training school) to Labone in South Sudan for 10 days. Rita and Adam were the team leaders. This time,  Adam said to me Walter you and Rita from Kampala are to lead the mission team to Labone. Well, I am the least organised person he could have chosen.I do evert thing at the last minute."Lord, I CANT DO THIS!” I cried.  But God had other plans, it seemed. Rita was to come with us. She was an excellent organiser and cook and we had others on the team- Daniel and Erik, who were brilliant as well. Everything went fine. After all, God has told us not to worry.

      We prayed for one lady who was very ill with hook worms. She was lying down when we prayed for her. On our next visit she was up and said our prayers had made a difference. Praise the Lord!
Our motto for our 10 days was "Trust in the Lord and do good". We pray that we made a lasting impression and have made a difference to the people in
Laboni by making real this motto in our lives and trying
 to show it.
Helen:  Some life learning challenges of the moment include struggling to sort our work permits, vehicle registration documentation and moving forward with an exchange trip to the UK with our deaf friend Temia, who is struggling with sickness. I’m also home schooling Laurence. But thanks be to God. He never lets us down.
