Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. (ESV, Col 4.2)

Greetings, Praying Friends,

Our last prayer email told you of two trips we had scheduled for July - one to Kenya to teach and one to Cape Town for medical treatment. We are just about caught up from being away and owe you a report.

We thank God that it is a praise report. In Kenya, Bert taught about 20 pastors on the subject of caring for the flock while Nancy taught about that many women in leading women's ministry. By all accounts, the classes were successful. The participants were engaged and you could tell they were learning more about ministry. We were truly blessed to be able to cover these subjects that are so near and dear to our hearts.

We were home just about long enough to do laundry and then we left for 3 weeks in Cape Town. Bert saw a team of specialists in vestibular disorders (one person called them the "Dizzy Team"). We learned much about Meniere's Disease, received some treatment and new medicines to keep the episodes at bay as well as treatment for when he has an episode. God smiled on us in many ways while we were there and we are so grateful for the display of love we experienced.

While we were away, the ministries we're involved in continued. Milton, Jude and the Shalom Team started a new work in Gulu in the northern part of Uganda. This is in conjunction with Trinity Biblical Institute. It is so exciting to see these men beginning new initiatives, even if Bert was disappointed not to be there to help out.

The trainers that Nancy has been working with, Liz, Bibian, and Joseph, did not do any trainings while we were away but thanks to technology (Zoom), she met with them. They have since done trainings on their own. Again, it is so exciting to see some fruit of our work with leaders.

Thank you so much for your faithful prayer and support.
