Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!
I hope you’re doing well. Our time in the States is slowly coming to a close. We’ve enjoyed and been so encouraged by our time here. Of course, the highlight has been the birth of our first grandchild - Noemi Leslie Nuozhen Spiess. What an incredible gift! Now we are so happy to celebrate Christmas in Tulsa with family before heading back to Uganda in early January. It has been so great getting to see many of you in different ways, and we’re just sorry that we did not get more personal / one-on-one time with more of you! We’ll try again next time!
Once back in Uganda, we plan to hit the ground running, beginning with a 3-week intensive Residency program with 8 participants in January and then hosting two wonderful teams in February. We are praying that all of this will give us a fantastic start to extending the ministry of disciple-making in the new year.

We are also praying that the above will all be hosted in Mirembe House. In addition to hosting teams, retreats, and training events, our vision for this space is to create a community that will pursue spiritual family, Christian maturity, and fruitful ministry. We are hoping to be able to move in by January 7, which would allow us to receive our interns and teams. When I was last at the site six weeks ago, we calculated a need of $9,895 to be ready to move in. Work has been progressing since that time, and now the need is down to $5,400.
