Honduras flooding

Tropical Storm Gamma
The gamma storm left Honduras devastated again. Some were killed, and 11 thousand people were evacuated. Progreso, near San Pedro Sula, was especially hard hit.
I talked with Pastor Oscar in La Ceiba, and he said that his house was flooded, and he had to build up a retaining wall that fell.
In Saba, a pastor had heavy damage to his home.
I've helped some, but can't do a whole lot now because of other commitments. But if you want to help you can donate online at charitybox.com/hf
I'll be in Honduras in February.

Uganda unrest

A probable presidential candidate, Besigye, was arrested and put in jail, causing unrest in Uganda. He is charged with treason, and among other things, rape. He laughed at the rape charge, perhaps because rape is so common in Africa that they hardly consider it a crime.
There have also been student strikes at the Makarere University.

Iowa

I had an interesting weekend, visiting a conference for Living Waters ministry, a group that helps society's outcasts in Illinois.
Then I was in two churches associated with my friend Jim Hartman. One is a community church in Whitten, Iowa and the other the Assembly of God in Conrad, Iowa. The preaching (on the servant song in Isaiah 49) seemed to be well received

Uganda

Steve Fitzpatrick is on his way to Uganda, where he will meet McElvain and teach in Kitgum. Mac is already there and is teaching in Gulu this week. Murphy and Eudy are in Bugiri teaching, and will go on to Kenya next week. I would guess that among the four teachers, we will teach about 500 preachers during this two week period
