Uganda Bombings


I'm sure many of you have heard of the bombings in Kampala. Thank you for your prayers for our safety. Alair and I drove through Kampala that afternoon as we were taking the Raber family to the Entebbe airport. After dropping them off early the next morning we got the news of a terrorist attack in Kampala. Entebbe is about 20 miles from Kampala so we were well out of the way of any threat. A text came through from New Hopes manager telling us to stay put in Entebbe until the next day. We are listening to the Embassy's advice on travel and places to steer clear of, and will continue to be as careful as we can. Please pray that there will not be any more terrorist attacks- especially as Somalia has declared that Uganda is it's enemy and in the words of one of its Sheiks "anything that makes Uganda cry makes us smile." We are praying for reconciliation, for God's intervention, and for many to come to know Him through this time.
