“I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.”
Psalm 7:17
We arrived safely in Uganda, May 11th at 12:30am after traveling for 26 hours. Everyone did really well in the airplanes and even with our long 8 hour layover in Brussels.
When we arrived Uganda, we were taken to a local hotel where we had to undergo another COVID test before we could process to our home.
After waiting another 3 hours for our results, we were finally able to proceed to home, which took another 45 minutes. So, we arrived home at about 5:30am. Denny’s mom greeted us with some warm tea. We used Tuesday and Wednesday to rest and recover. Korbyn struggled the most with fatigue, but after some food and rest was back to normal.
The boys are adjusting well to their new environment. Jaden is especially enjoying the new foods. Asher is still learning to like the food. But all three boys are enjoying the outdoors.
These first few weeks we are here we will be working on settling in.
There are a few things that we need to do to complete our living space – adding our kitchen cabinets and furnishing our home. We are also having pavers (pavement) put in the compound to reduce on the amount of dirt and mud. Here in Uganda our dirt is more of red clay and when it rains the mud just sticks to everything.
We will also be working on adjusting our immigration statues.
We arrived on tourist visas, which is the typical way people come into the country and then have their statues adjusted before their visa expires.
As Denny is Ugandan, Cassie and the boys will be dependents and Cassie will also have to apply for a work permit. Please pray that we will be able to get all of our paper work done and that we would not run into any problems.
We will also be looking for a ministry vehicle. Denny’s sister Irene has some contacts of people that can help us find a good deal on a vehicle.
This coming Sunday, May 23rd, we will be going out to the church in Wakiso, that Lord willingly we will be begin serving in.
We will be meeting with Pastor Patrick after the service to discuss things. Please pray for us to have boldness to proclaim Christ and for hearts to be prepared to receive the Gospel.
We want to say thank you for standing with us and being an important part of this ministry. We would not be able to do what God has called us to, without you doing your part! Thank you!
Striving Together,
Denny, Cassie
Asher, Korbyn and Jaden.
Internet is a luxury here in Uganda. It is still very expensive and slow running. Also, Uganda has blocked Facebook because of some political reasonings. We have found away around it. With that we will try to update our Facebook group/page as often as possible with pictures, so that you can see what we are doing.
Prayer Request:
1. Ministry Vehicle
2. Ministry in Wakiso
3. Immigration Statues
4. Asher to adjust to the food
Praise
Arriving safely with all of our luggage and being able to settle in.
