Hello, I only have a couple minutes and the internet here is not reliable, but I wanted to give you a quick update and give a few prayer points for the next week.

We just finished our first seminar here in the North of Uganda. It was amazing! I spent quite a bit of time with tears in my eyes this week as I was able to worship with the wonderful Acholli people here and see them get so excited about studying God's Word. We usedthe book of Philemon to train how to study the Bible and its message of forgivness and reconciliation was amazingly powerful here with an awesome time of application where many saw breakthrough in grace and frogiveness. But the most exciting part was seeing so many of the pastors and leaders get excited about Bible study. There were between 35-50 attendants and some of them had already completed a few years of BIble school but were so adamant that they have never recieved training like this and they are begging me to bring a team back next year. One of the pastors here also runs a radio station that reaches out to tens of thousands of people in northern Uganda and southern Sudan and is trying to find a way that I can come back in December or January and do a live seminar with his leaders on the air so everyone in the region can listen in and learn! I just can't put in to words how blessed i feel to be here. I just can't believe that I get to do this for a living! The quote of the week, that I will never forget was by the chairman of many of the churche in the area. He told us at the end of the seminar, "we thought we needed money, but what we really needed was teaching." Again, tears come to my eyes. Oh, one other great blessing this week was that we were able to stay at an actual house with a western toilet and running water!

We are enjoying it while it lasts because after a rest day today, tomorrow we head off for an IDP (internally displaced people) camp. That is where the people who have fled their homes because of the LRA have been moved to. Thousands of people in very close quarters with small mud huts stacked next to each other an arms-length away. We are so excited we have heard that the pastors are so thrilled that we are coming and have already made all the preparations. there are even pastors coming for other IDP camps in the area to stay with us at the church so they can participate in the teachings as well. One of the men who came to our seminar on the second day traveled hours on the road, his bus broke down so he slept on the road, then arrived here the following day. He was coming to see if he should have his church come to the seminar next week. He said he was so touched after one day of teaching that not only is he going back to tell his leaders to come, but he is going to skip next week studying at his own Bible School so that he can come and attend the seminar again next week as well! It is so awesome to see God working in the hearts and minds of the people.

Well I have to go to the market and buy our posho, rice, beans, and kasava for next week in the camps, but I will write more when i get internet access again next week. So thank you for all your support and prayers and please continue to pray. Your prayers make the difference!

please continue to pray for us:

- Please pray for God's safety and good health as we travel to and live in the IDP camps.

- Please pray for our team, that we would continue to walk in love and unity,

- Please pray that our team would have anointing and wisdom as they prepare their teachings and deliver them.

- Please pray for God to take over this week and move powerfully within the lives of the pastors in the IDP camp.

- Please pray for whatever else the Lord lays on your heart.

Sincerely,

James Lunn
