I believe . . . . .

Help my unbelief.

From the parable of the Centurion¹s Son, these words developed into a theme for our time with Brian earlier this week during a prayer and discussion time with two of our Ugandan staff. I can¹t think of a better description of where we¹re at, as a school but also as individuals. We see God longing to bring in the power of the Holy Spirit, to make us foolish to proclaim His wisdom and we have FAITH that He can do more than we can imagine, yet our unbelief still holds us back.

But we¹re believing His miraculous power over our unbelief and asking for His help. Tomorrow Christ School will hold an all-school evening prayer service on the football pitch. And in the three days following Brian will lead Prayer Seminars to teach us more about intercession, deliverance and healing . . .what faith looks like in action. Today and tomorrow, Brian and David are fasting and praying together in retreat, and the kids and I are holding down the fort, I mean school. I feel intense spiritual opposition in the form of mental, spiritual and emotional exhaustion and Naomi came down with a fever this evening. I take all this as a sign that God is about to move and that Satan¹s fighting back. So it¹s all good.

Consultant number one gave us some great ideas and is home in Kampala writing up his official report. Please continue to pray for his thought process and our choices as a mission/school for the future. Pray too for our hearts. The one thing that is certain is that CHANGE is ahead. And I get a little tired of change. Consultant number 2 comes on Monday evening and we are thrown back into introducing, discussing, explaining and hoping.

We believe God, help our unbelief.
