Dear Friends and Family,

Many of you may have heard on the news that Kampala, Uganda was hit by two separate bomb attacks last night while crowds were watching the World Cup Final. We wanted to send a quick note to let you all know that we were not near any of the bombings which detonated last night and are just fine. All of the MAF Uganda staff are just fine as well even though one of them was at a restaurant across the street from one of the blasts. While there has been no confirmation, the police suspect that Al Shabab is responsible since they have had verified threats on Ugandan targets for the past several months. Al Shabab is an Islamic militant group from Somalia. These threats are perceived to be a result of Uganda being involved in the African Union peace keeping force in Somalia.

We praise the Lord for safety for all of our team here, but we do ask for continued prayers for Uganda as the people morn the loss of their family and friends. Prayers for continued safety and security are important too as there are continued opportunities for attacks next week since the African Union summit will be held here in Kampala. There have been specific threats to this summit as well, so your prayers for the Ugandan people are coveted!

On the lighter side, the kids are enjoying the summer off of school and helping us pack the house up to move across town to a new house that we are taking over from another MAF family that has moved out. Amy has been busy overseeing the packing and getting the new house ready, which includes making sure those who have been hired by the Landlord or MAF to fix or paint things are actually doing their job. The new house should fit us quite nicely so we are looking forward to the move. Thank you again for your thoughts, prayers, and support!

For His Glory,
