The Uganda Team...

Hello Dear Friends...

This brief Selah hasn't ended all together... I'm just back to provide a brief update on the Uganda trip. We're down to single digits --- 9 days to go! And there is much to be taken of before we leave, but the Lord has been faithful thus far... and he will always be! So... I interrupt this Selah to ask you to remember us in your prayers. Our team of 11 from Resonate will join up with another 30-40 more (I have no idea what the final number is), and we have a few specific prayer requests. As the Lord brings us to your mind, please consider praying over the following:

• that above all God would be glorified by our words and actions and the posture of our hearts
  
• that God would protect us, keeping us safe and healthy, and that our travel will be efficient
• that He would cultivate in our hearts a deep desire to see His Name and His Word spread among the people we encounter
• that He would fuel our human efforts with his power so that others might taste and see His goodness and love
• that He would protect and bless the families we are leaving behind in Ohio and that He would sustain Mom and Dad as they care for Dylan and Brooklyn
• that He would richly bless the family, friends, and fellow church members who have graciously given money, supplies, and support to make this trip possible. Many of you have truly been co-laborers in this adventure and for what God has done through you, we are so very grateful!
  

The picture above is our prayer card that was passed out at church yesterday... just thought you may want to see what our team looks like. Also, there's one additional team member that is not technically part of Resonate, but is particularly dear to me --- my sister, Karen. Please remember her in your prayers as well.

Thanks for holding the rope for us...

Selah...

Selah: Term of unknown meaning appearing in psalms, outside of Psalms only in Habakkuk 3. Scholars have advanced various unprovable theories: a pause either for silence or musical interlude, a signal for the congregation to sing, recite, or fall prostrate on the ground, a cue for the cymbals to crash, a word to be shouted by the congregation, a sign to the choir to sing a higher pitch or louder.

For a period of time, I have decided to take a break from this blog. There are a number of things preciptating this decision... none which I will enumerate here. But I do hope to return as soon as possible... and with images to share with you from Uganda.

In the meantime, I will still be keeping up on Facebook.
