Mission News from Mulungwishi

August 2, 2005

Dear Family and Friends from all Over,

This is just a note to say hello!! and hope you are doing well and having enjoyed a summer break of sorts. Following our last email we were looking at hosting Annual Conference and that went well for the most part although it had it's moments! Ha!! ( went through 800 lbs of rice!!) We are now in Lubumbashi to prepare for the next VIM Team who come in tomorrow from New Mexico and West Texas. They will head to Mulungwishi on Friday for two weeks.

We have enjoyed hearing from you by emails and letters. Please forgive us if we have not caught up with you in responding but we really have been going in circles with visitors and school. Again, we are very thankful to have completed another year at the Seminary. This Sunday will be our FIRST graduation for the Computer IT school of our University. That is AMAZING also because we started with nothing three years ago and have struggled each month to keep things going. The students have had good training, also did internships around the city of Lubumbashi for different companies and have all just completed a major senior research paper. So the University continues as the Seminary by the Lord's Grace and your prayers and support.

Our internet program at Mulungwishi has had many problems so please keep being patient and do not despair when you do not receive an immediate answer. We still are very dependent on the internet site at Hoovers down in Lubumbashi. We appreciate so much being able to use that.

Take care and we remember you all in prayers and thoughts. At this time we are working on coming to the States in September and October for speaking in West Texas and New Mexico and to spend some time with our kids. We ask for your prayers for preparations and travel. Planning and preparations for the new school year have begun here with changes in Professors and responsibilities. The country of Congo continues struggling to put the war behind and move forward but still so many setbacks. They have successfuly started the registration program for voting and in Kinshasa have over 3 million registered. From our vantage point we see how the instability affords the people who are blackmarketing minerals etc. from the country a clear way to keep profiting. KEEP PRAYING!

Love and prayers, Lori and David

Please remember that our email system is elementary; messages sometimes take a week or so to get driven up to us from where they are received in Lubumbashi. So be patient with us.
