If it wasn’t Lent, this post would begin with a huge “Hallelujah!!” Yesterday, we learned that the Christians who had to flee their homeland had been granted refugee status! Thanks be to God!!
I don’t know the full details of how it happened, but our liaison student met with the Prime Minister (no, I have no idea how THAT came about), and their refugee status was approved. The Prime Minister asked him to give his greetings to UCU, and convey his appreciation for us.
Perhaps that had something to do with it. I don’t know. Historically, Uganda is very refugee-friendly, receiving a large number of refugees from Somalia, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Congo, and other countries. Perhaps that was a factor as well. I’m not really sure I care about the details (other than being insanely curious), but I am absolutely rejoicing over God’s care, protection, and providence for this family.
Please continue to pray for them as they adjust to life in their new country, and begin to build afresh.
