Prayer Request for our Man in the Pearl:

I have just received a couple of messages from David Harrison's Mom asking me to pray for David (our Man in the Pearl). Rioting has broken out in Kampala and she wanted us to pray for his safety. Her second message is copied below. Please pray for Dave and the Harrison family. "Hi! I was able to talk to David a few minutes ago, at 9:30PM Ugandan time. He is locked down at the Peace Corps training center in Wakiso, just NW of Kampala where the violence broke out. Yesterday he was picked up by a driver and the two of them made the rounds to pubs and other public places. They told shops to close and warned people to go home. Now the streets are on fire and the rioting continues. He said Sat is going to be worse. The good news is that at the training center he is sleeping great! For the first time since arriving in Uganda, he said he awoke this morning feeling refreshed and clear headed. The shower and electricity are an added bonus! We will talk to him again tomorrow.

Flag Football Tailgate Party

Gearing up for the tailgate party tonight. Already purchased the food from Costco, just need to make sure the grill is working now...

Kick off at 6:30pm and police escort from the field at 9:00pm!

Come and join us. Bring your trucks. And bring your friends. Park up on Grace field and be ready for some good grillin'. It's FREE food and drinks, flag football, and a tailgate jacuzzi.

What more can I say???

Come early to help setup. Call me on 626 335 4067 x104 if you have any questions.

Empty Broom Cloests...

The Olive is still MIA.

So too is #16.

Life in the broom closet is all too quiet.

For today...

Big plans for the week ahead though, and lots kicking off starting tomorrow. More news to follow on the service this Sunday. We will have the new t-shirts available for purchase (bring $12.50 if you want one). And we're developing some new media ahead of our APU day on Friday. We should be on all local campuses over the coming weeks. But we're starting at the APU Freshman Orientation. If you're at APU then stop by and say hello. We may even try to get Olive involved via the majesty of skype! The promise of that alone should be enough to entice.
