Typically a group of 20 or so people participate in this short-term trip to Uganda. Many of these people return regularly in their ongoing ministry to Ugandans in the areas of health and education, while Mercy Uganda focuses on women and children. They were all planning to participate in the June trip until they realized the flight costs were higher than normal because of the World Cup held in South Africa during that same period.
Laura was asked to go regardless so that she could maintain her contact with the Ugandans and I will be traveling with her. This mission will be a unique one in that she and I will be the only two people going. Once arriving in Uganda, we will join the ministry liaisons that live in Uganda full time. Henry is the health and medical liaison and Lauren is the ministry liaison.
I am excited about the opportunity to experience yet another approach to missions and ministry.
