Getting ready for furlough

On March 23rd our friends Doug and Destiny will drive us out to the church of Christ airstrip. Mission Aviation Fellowship will pick us up from there and fly our family to Entebbe. We'll spend the night there and then leave the next day for the states. Maf is giving us the price of flying in Cessna 210 and bringing a Caravan which is twice as big. That is a $400 savings. Thanks MAF! Our flights to the states are on BA so we will have to spend several hours in transit in London. We touch down in Boston where we will spend a couple of days resting and seeing the sights. Getting over jetlag can be tough for the kids.
We found tickets from Boston to Portland for $104 each so we are happy about that.
We are so excited to see everyone! We arrive in Portland on March 28th. We will be at Metro church of Christ April 2, 2006.
We will spend some time with my family as well as visiting some who support this ministry.
It will be fun to get do somethings with our new teammates Andrew and Aimee Jo Martin while we are in Portland. We are looking forward to seeing our friends who have come here and helped with Faith Quest.
I am making some arrangements to do some flight training in Portland as well as up north at Mission Aviation Training Academy. Then we will fly to Odessa.
We'll spend some time with Cheryl's family. We'll buy supplies to bring back. Eat some great Mexican food and stay as far away a scale as possible.
Then we will go to Tyler! I can't wait to be at Glenwood! They are such a great church!
We really feel a close bond with everyone there. It will be fun to be with our "team" and the elders and staff and everyone! I wish I was there right now.
That is going to be fun as well. This is going to be a good furlough!
These are our plans, Lord willing.
We will return to Uganda the first week of August.
If you have supported this ministry with prayers, encouragement or finincially we want to thank you. If you can keep supporting us while we are on furlough that will help us to stock up and buy the needed supplies.
1.We will need to pay for the tickets to Oregon
2.Replace our laptop computer
3.Buy a second laptop for Cheryl
4.Cheryl and I would like to go to Sonscape. It is a retreat for the spiritual renewal of ministers.
5.Flight training.
6.There are many other supplies that we need (Bible study books, printer plus cartridges, etc)
We are hoping to be able to raise funds to cover the supplies.
Develop Camp Saaka
Repair the plane
purcase a circus tent for the town church $10,000
expand our property. ($8000) plus build and amphitheater.

We hope to increase our monthly support as we plan to expand our ministries.
We look forward to sharing with you what the Lord is doing in this part of Africa.
Please join us in pray that the Lord will give the increase and the resources needed. We are based on faith not money. Money is just a tool. We are servants of Christ and His kingdom.
See you soon!
