FEBRUARY
Missionary of the Month

Kurt and Marlene Schimke
with African Bible University

“All four degree programs (Biblical Studies, Business, Education & Mass Communications) are still running at ABU. As the Bible department, we are seriously considering adding on a Master's Degree. Our new diploma in Biblical Studies has been approved by the National Council of Higher Education, so we can encourage and train those who previously could not qualify to attend. We also are awaiting approval on the Higher Education Certificate, which is for foreign students to allow them to transition to the Ugandan University system. We are still praying and seeking the Lord for all the required teaching staff in the Aviation and Agriculture degree programs.

Prayer & Praises:
* Pray that we can get through all of our classroom material in a shorter-than-normal semester since the start has been delayed 3 week past or original start date.
* Pray for our son, Nick, who is here with us, that he can complete his online classes well and that the Lord would grant him full healing this semester from his long-term illnesses so that he can attend college classes in person by this Fall.
* Pray that we can use the ABU airplane effectively while MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) is rebuilding the runway.
* Praise for the great campus and homeschool community for Lexi to grow and learn and participate in many group activities.
*Praise that we made it through another Ugandan Presidential election without much chaos or disturbances in the country.
*Pray for Sean & Natasha Kinsella, our British coworkers, who have been in England for an extended period of time to deal with Natasha's breast cancer treatment.
*Pray for the needed faculty for the Aviation and Agriculture programs that ABU would like to start.”
