Moving Forward

Greetings,
What a year we have lived through – so much anguish and turmoil happening in the world around us. A constant reminder of our need for a Savior, one who will free us from the bondage and destruction of sin. If this year has taught us anything, it would be that we need to be in the Word of God daily and sharing the Gospel with the people around us.

There is only One who can transform a life and set us free and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. We must proclaim His name to the nations. It is our prayer that as we go to reach Ugandan’s with the Gospel, that you will also be reaching the people in your neighborhoods. We are all called to be witnesses. Let us be bold for His name.

Over the summer, we had the opportunity to lead a small group on missions. We read through the book Sending Forth Laborers’ by Dwight Tomlinson and Paul Chappell.

We had great conversations about the responsibility and qualities of missionaries and about the responsibilities of churches to send out missionaries. We would highly recommend this book for any individual, group or church that would like an excellent resource on sending missionaries into the fields.

Since about April/May, We have had several new individual supporters and one church join our sending team. Plus we have had a few of our current partners increase their support. The Lord has shown himself faithful to provide even, when we thought that we may lose some of what we have already had raised. We praise the Lord for his faithfulness.

In September, we began our homeschool year with Asher starting Kindergarten and Korbyn preschool. As we prepare to go the field in Uganda, it is important for us to remember the field that the Lord has given to us right in our own home, our children. Pray with us as we train and disciple them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

 Lastly, our home in Uganda is just about to be complete! We are just down to a few minor things that we will be finishing when we arrive. We are so excited!

Before this year began, the Lord was teaching us about planning and allowing God to have his way with our plans. I find it quite fitting for that is exactly what we have been learning throughout this whole year. All the plans that we had made have been changed.

We were planning on returning to Uganda in November, yet because of COVID and everything being shut down, we are having to push back our plans of traveling. We praise the Lord that Uganda is finally opening up their borders for International flights, but because of things being closed over the spring/summer, we still have a few outstanding things that we have to accomplish before we can return.

Also, we having to travel with 3 small children, we would like to see things settle a bit more, before we make the move. We are now looking to leave in March/April, Lord willingly. The Lord is sovereign, He has a perfect plan and He is never late. We continue to wait and trust upon Him.
Thank you for standing with us in prayer and support. We always give thanks to the Lord for your love.
Striving Together,
Denny & Cassie
