Ash Cloud, New Offices and New Baby!

Well its been a long time since I have written a blog and it has been a while since we last posted.
Nicola, the children and I have been back in the UK. Nicola was speaking at Epidemic Life and did amazing (I am her husband so I get to say that!) whilst James, Chantelle and I spent time in London with Family. I came back to get some rest and to see a Tropical medicine specialist in London. As many of you will know I was very sick for almost 3 months. We are still not sure what it was that I had but I am doing well now just having to rebuild my strength. Thank you to all who prayed for me and the family, it was a difficult time but we have come through it knowing Gods protection and covering, even more resolved that Uganda is where we are called to be and that He is in control!
We got stuck in the UK because of the Ash Cloud, this was frustrating to begin with but turned out to be a blessing as we had some extra time as a whole family to rest some more without a Schedule! We were considering however a route back to Uganda if the cloud continued, we had ideas of driving, Jonathan volunteered to be security and navigator or maybe we could have hitched a lift on a Navy ship to Mombassa! However we got out a week later using good old BA.
Whilst we were away our team did an amazing job of keeping things running, the even began our programme of Primary Health Care Training.
Our very own Timothy is leading this ministry and is doing a great job.
We are moving our offices down to be in the Wellspring compound. We have done this as we are growing as a team all the time and also to strengthen our relationship with Wellspring.
We are so grateful to wellspring as they have made so much of what we do possible. So as the say in Uganda “Wellspring thank you for all that you have done! Wabale Nyo”
We have finally raised enough money to buy our car. This will be such a blessing to ministry, making our mobile medical Unit so much easier to do and will release the team to reach more children more of the time.
Thank you to all who have suppoted us in that.
And Finally :
Exciting News Nalongo has given birth to a beautiful baby girl. The birth went well and she is back home with her family. Nicola has been given the honour of naming the baby!
This is her seventh child and we are believing her last!! As a family they are making such good progress and Revelation lifes sponsorship programme is making it possible for 3 of the children
to go to school. We are all very proud of them.
