Don’t you love how God surprises us with meeting new friends in faraway places? It happened this last week and again today. A former Philippine missionary couple now have an amazing ministry to International students at Penn State University. One of the students they connected with is a Christian Ugandan who is working on his PHD. Friday I had the privilege of meeting him and his precious family. They served me tea in their home and then asked me help them plant a tree! How precious to fellowship and pray with these new friends. Earlier today Ruth had a call and I was surprised to hear her speaking some Tagalog. Anita who called is a Filipino born Canadian and working here in Uganda with the Mailbox Club (Christian literature ministry). We look forward to meeting this couple face-to-face once our Curriculum deadlines are past. All of this combined with the joy of having two New Brunswick nurses here (laden with many goodies including Dark Harbour dulse for Laura) for several weeks! It gives us a glimpse of what heaven will be like as we meet all of our siblings in Christ! Praise God for His global family.
Seems strange to be commenting while in the same city.
