New Life, Fragile Life

 

On the ARUA base I was sobered to see several YWAM staff from South Sudan because its no longer safe where they were. Other staff cannot flee.. 

Our YWAM Arua colleagues here Waru, from South Sudan, and Susie, his wife from UK,  have been staying in the Arua house  we lived in 2009-2015.  A few days Susie gave birth to their son Lemuel in the UK. Waru was unable to get a visa to be with her for latter part of the pregnancy or delivery.

Waru has not heard from relatives there for several weeks and knows their village has been over-run.

Yesterday YWAM Arua base received a large number of children fleeing conflict over the border in Souh Sudan. Read more at https://www.facebook.com/john.s.wright.75

Signs & Wonders – First impressions

Paul: My first impressions of Uganda are different from what I expected; I was thinking that Uganda was a fairly urbanised place, but I was surprised when I got into Kampala. There are lots of 'Make Shift' shops, and fewer buildings, and a lot more traffic than in England! Overall, my experience in Uganda was good. We jammed, built a rabbit house and started learning to ride a motorbike.

Ant Pate: a recent delicacy from Irene, our watchman Nixon’s wife.
