Thank you for praying with us for Doug's last trip through Kenya, Uganda and South Sudan! The teaching showed encouraging signs of being well received and great potential for being repeated by the students.

As shared before leaving, these three sites were all in transition mode. In Kenya, Doug was assisting Pastor Thomas establish his first satellite site for CAMSOM. This went very well with Thomas taking the lead and established as the main teacher even with Doug's presence, PTL! The Ugandan site is well on it;s way to completing the Diploma level of training and introducing a new vernacular training at the basic level. South Sudan has established it's training program to move ahead with 63 returning students as well.

Doug did pick up a "flu" type illness and has taken a few days to recover from the congestion and cough. That along with the 8 hour time zone jump has kept him from bouncing back right away. But we praise God for being able to serve Him and rep[resent you before our brethren overseas. Thanks for praying with us!

That phrase "in Christ" is so meaningful and amazing! Yes we cherish the connection being "in Christ" gives us to God, Creator and Sovereign of the Universe (both material and immaterial creation), as well as the connection it gives us to you and our brethren worldwide.

This email is to update you on my upcoming trip to Africa.  I will be traveling this time without Cheryl as it is including trip to South Sudan. I leave Monday and have one new venue in Kenya to assist Pastor Odari expanding his training program called CAMSOM. Then teaching in Uganda for a week and a week in South Sudan.

Please pray with us:
1) Cheryl's safety and running of the home and office while Doug is traveling.
2) Doug being sensitive to each venue and the leadership as we work through these times of transitions in teaching responsibilities, schedules and curriculum.
3) Multiple travel details that can not be worked out until Doug hits the ground running. Arriving midnight sleep a little, to travel during daylight into Kenya (6+ hours public transport) and start teaching same day. :-)4) Clear strategy can be started by local leaders for this transition of me fading out of some venues to give more emphasis on local leaders doing the training.
Thank you for joining us in prayer for God's ministry through TRI-M Africa and the Boisverts.
