He always greets me in Jula: You and the morning! Peace be on you! Are you well? Yes, I am well. And (how is) your ‘so mogow’?

We're praying for you too!' 'Thanks!! Amazing place location. Thanks for all your help. Really enjoyed the weekend. Keeping you in our prayers.' 'Thank you for serving loving us over the weekend – you've been an amazing encouragement example!' These are some of the comments left by the student group we welcomed to the WEC UK Headquarters earlier this year.

This is no less true in missions ministry. But dramatic growth and breakthroughs are the exception rather than the rule in reaching 'unreached peoples' (ie. those without an opportunity to know Jesus). We long for people to honour Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. Our eyes are on God to work. But breakthroughs aren't easy, and are usually much slower than we would like.

A few days ago a woman named Florence arrived at the hospital in Bunia in labour. She did not progress well, and the Operating Room team was called to do a caesarean. When the doctor entered, Florence recognized him as a classmate from her schooldays.

Many people will be moving into newly built homes. Most will be moving offices and all will have to get used to walking into a room and finding that it's been given a new use. It's the biggest shake-up the house has had since WEC moved in, forty-two years ago.
