Our Friend Leo Godzich

Yesterday night I learned that a friend of ours 

went to be with the Lord.

His name was Leo Godzich.  Leo and his wife Molly have a worldwide marriage ministry called NAME {National Association of Marriage Enhancement} based in Phoenix, Arizona.   

We had had Molly and Leo come and teach a 

marriage conference at our church this spring. 

 I think I even mentioned it in one of my posts.  

It was awesome!

While at our church we talked with Leo and Molly about Uganda.  They had ministered a great deal in Uganda and upon learning Dw and I have also spent a great deal of time ministering in Uganda, Leo suggested that one day Dw and he team up and come together to Uganda to minister. 

 Dw was really, really looking forward to that!

Anyway, between Wednesday and Thursday Emma and I spent 7 hours on Jjinga Road here in Uganda waiting for Ruby's passport.  Little did we know that just a little ways down that very Jjinga Road, our friend Leo, 

had lost his life that very day in a 

very tragic car accident.  

Leo had just flown into Uganda and 

was doing some marriage conferences here. 

We are stunned.  

The world is stunned. 

And yes, the world at large has lost an awesome man of God, a man of integrity, passionate pursuer of holiness and advocate of healthy marriages and families.

Please pray for his precious wife Molly, and their three daughters.
