Isaiah

Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest though the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for all your prayers. We are still enjoying Fl (despite the nonstop rain right now) and are so excited to go tonight to a local church to hear a Ugandan Children's Choir who will be singing and dancing! The boys have brushed up on what little of their language they know and are so excited to greet the other children in their language! We are also excited about the fact that Josh may have a new job! We will know more tomorrow, but we know it is all in God's control and will meet all of our needs! Please continue to pray for us as we begin to make calls and pray about new partners in our ministry. We are hoping to fill our schedule back up very soon, but it has been a little slow going with the move and still awaiting our new little man "Peter" who should be here in just a few weeks! God bless you all!

Settling in!

Whew! This month has been a complete whirl wind! About a week in a half after all the moving and packing, we packed up again and head back to Ohio for some appointments we had already made and did not want to cancel! It was a long drive but well worth it! We had such wonderful visits with family and friends, and got to be a part of 4 amazing services to share about Uganda! God's grace is so amazing and His hand was on us the entire time! We had a scary moment with the pregnancy, but God completely lead us through it, and have made it back home to Fl. safe and the baby is doing great! This time it was harder to say good bye to family, knowing it will be months before we see anyone again, the boys did a little better than what I thought about their goodbyes, however had lots and lots of questions, and wanted to bring everyone back to Fl. with them! I could not be blessed with better little men then what the Lord has given! This was the boys fifth 20 hour car trip in 3 weeks, and they did amazing! Mommy and Daddy made it in one piece with all our hair intact (although it might be a little grayer!) :) Now we can get on our regular schedule and all settled in as we wait for our new little man to arrive in the next few weeks! Josh is currently looking for a new job to help make ends meat, and we found out the Doctors and my midwife will not want me to start my part time job until after the baby is born. We are so excited to start working with others here in Fl. and involving them in what God is doing in Uganda. We have recently spoke with head quarters (WGM) and have learned our release is based on current monthly support. We have just reached our first goal of 1,000$ per month in faithful monthly partnerships! Thank you all so much for partnering with us in this ministry. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue pressing on for the remaining goal of 7,000$ per month! If you would like to become more involved in missions or what God is already doing in Uganda, please contact us at josh.bryant@wgm.org Thank you all for your prayers through this time of amazing transition in our lives, we have surely felt them. God bless you all!

Prayer Request!

Hello everyone! This is our last week to get packed up, we are pulling out and heading down to St. Petersburg on Sunday morning! Thank you all for your prayers. We had fun at church Sunday, after the evening service the church served pizza, ice cream and cake so we could have a time of fun and fellowship with our dear brothers and sisters that we have worshiped with for 12 years now! We are going to miss everyone so much, but we feel God has already given us an amazing new home church in Tampa! I have a specific prayer request I would like you to pray about if you would. With my previous 2 pregnancies I developed preeclampsia and toxemia and with my last one, Zachary, it got very dangerous and very scary! My doctor said I have a 50% chance of developing it again and even sooner this time. Since we found out about this baby we have been praying and standing against this disease and we have had an amazing pregnancy! I am 29 weeks now and moving to Fl. and leaving my "comfort zone" with my doctor and familiar hospitals had made me a little nervous. We have been praying about a new doctor and which hospital to deliver at and we have decided to go with a midwife at an amazing birthing center there in St. Petersburg! I am trusting in God that all will go well and the preeclampsia will stay away, so we can have a healthy and natural delivery. If you could please lift us up in prayer concerning this I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you all for your continued prayers! We will keep you updated!

Florida!

Well, now that we have a minute to catch our breath! Here are some pics from our recent trip to Florida! The boys had so much fun, even when daddy got "bit"! They are still talking about it! Thank you all for your continued prayers as we prepare to leave next weekend!

Baby Girl

With our new move we are unable to take our "baby girl" Molly. She has been our only girl for 12 years now. She has been very sick with kidney failure and muscle wasting and we found out Monday we would have to find a new home for her, and that has been very hard for us at this point in her little life where she has been so sick and loves being home with her family! We posted on facebook and some very dear friends at church put the word out and we had an awesome family say they were praying about taking her in. However, tonight as we are in Fl. Molly is being kenneled at her awesome vet who has always taken care of her for us called to let us know Molly's condition had worsened dramatically and we need to have her put to sleep. We are crushed and so broken hearted. We were hoping and praying she would go at home in her sleep and we would not have to make that decision. We are picking her up at the kennel Monday night when we return home to OH and will be keeping her with us all week, spoiling her rotten and enjoying every minute with her. I know it may sound real silly to ask for prayer for a dog but we have had so many things and people taken over the past several months everything seems to pouring down all at once! We are hoping she goes peacefully at home this week. Thank you all for your prayers as our family goes through so many changes. God bless you all,
Josh and Angela

Movin' On!

Well, as many of you know (from facebook) we have had some serious changes come about in the past few days. We have been in such a struggle with Josh not being able to find work for so long, and working a schedule that allows us to continue to be full time in our ministry as we prepare to leave for Uganda. I only work 2 nights a week and it is just not enough to sustain. We have been in much prayer and we feel God has opened doors for us in St. Petersburg, FL. There are missionary homes that we are able to live in for a much cheaper price than what we pay in OH. We are in Fl. now checking out the housing, signing the paper work and I actually had 4 interviews today at different hospitals around town! We will be speaking Sunday morning at a wonderful church here in Tampa then heading back to Ohio late Sunday afternoon. We would really appreciate your prayers at this time. We have 3 weeks until we the big move. This was all so sudden, we have NOTHING packed and not even a box to put it in!! We know God's grace is more than sufficient and He would never give us more than we can handle! Thank you all for your continued prayers........ we will keep you updated!
God Bless
