Prayer Requests:
1) Health for our teammate JP Robinson who has been in the hospital in Kampala because of abdominal pain which resulted in a surgery.

3) Weekly Discovery Bible Study groups. Some of the students are beginning
to get involved. Please pray that the groups will grow in number and in commitment to genuine discipleship.
