- We began classes Thursday for the 2011-12 academic year with 34 "freshpersons", and a few more might enter late.

The Lord often surprises and refreshes us at the same time. I must admit that I had wondered how many new students would be able to make it here, based on reports. God is not limited by my concerns or fears; His arm is not shortened nor His ear closed to our cries. Thank you for your prayers.

Ali and I were also greatly blessed by a dinner we held for the ABU Education students who had done their Practice Teaching in Lugazi, east of here almost at the Nile River. The lessons they learned in class they had applied, and they were excited to see how faithfulness to God's word was rewarded in the midst of their hard work and challenges. May they continue to be blessed as they now finish their senior year.
