Team Transitions
Posted by ankolemission on April 7, 2007
Our team has been / is / will be in the midst of some major transitions. Last year, Danny and Amy Naramore moved back to the United States in September after five wonderful years of service here in Mbarara. Then Lori Earles went for an extended furlough in preparation for a move to Kenya later on this year. Already, they are all missed!
Now we are preparing for the next round of teammate departures, as well as some welcome additions…
* Original teammates Jay & Andrea Baker will be repatriating in May.
* Team teacher Beth Tunick will be heading back to the US in June.
* Original teammates Nick & Renee Fouts return to the US in October.
* Team teacher Terri Taylor returns to the States, also in October.
* New team teachers Betsy Glover and Desirae Smith will join for a year, beginning in June 2007.
* New teammates Theron and Sara Hutton will arrive in early 2008.
That’s a LOT of changes! And this is a very bittersweet, emotional time for our team, especially as we negotiate these teammate departures. It is a painful, but rich and beautiful thing, saying goodbye to these dear friends…
We ask for your prayers on behalf of our team - everyone who is coming, going, and staying… And please pray that the Lord will continue to work through this team - and the Ugandans - to grow a healthy movement of churches here in Ankole!
