Two Weeks to go

Hey everyone!

So we are leaving in less than two weeks, and we still have a lot of things to do, and a long way to go in terms of financial support. We are at about $4000 as of right now.

If you have been following the news, you probably know that Kenya is a bit unstable right now as a result of the rigged election. That could affect our trip; not whether or not we go on it, but how much travel we are going to be able to do. Uganda gets most of its diesel and petrol from Kenya, which has coastline on the Indian Ocean. So a few days ago the fuel prices doubled and tripled in Uganda, and many gas stations and even the airport ran out of fuel.

This could affect our ability to travel to Rwanda, and make it difficult to get to New Hope from the capital city.

So pray:
Pray for peace and resolution to the ethnic violence and a return to political stability for Kenya.

Pray that Uganda will be able to absorb the refugees from Kenya, and that fuel supplies would be available and well-managed.

Pray that we would have safety in our travels

Pray that we would be able to lock down all the details that we need to before we leave.

Pray that Ellie will feel better: the tetanus vaccination was not kind to her, and she has been feeling pretty low for about a week now, with aches, headaches, fever, etc.

Love y'all

John and Ellie
