Off to Uganda
01/04/2012
This past summer, one of our short-term missions teams to Uganda spent time sharing Christ in public schools in the southeastern portion of Uganda (Kapchorwa Region). While there, a local pastor named Rev. Fred led us from school to school. We got to know Rev. Fred and his family - and God grew our heart for the children in the schools he is trying to reach. Because of extra donations from people back home, we were able to even buy Bibles for all of the students in one of his smaller schools (about 250 students).
As we departed, Rev. Fred asked us if we could send a team back in January to help teach at a week-long Bible conference he was organizing for students to attend during their holiday. We promised that we would pray about it and consider it, but didn't know if it would be feasible.
Well, God has placed the pieces together and today we sent off a small team to Uganda to teach at the Bible conference - Victor Epperson, Scott Capp and Scott's son, Matthew. They will also spend a few days with our missionaries, Matt and Crystal, and will briefly visit the Juna Amagara orphan school Kishanje (on the southwestern corner of the country).
Please pray for this team as they minister alongside of our friends and missionaries in Uganda!

Vic lived with us while he was a student at SIU Carbondale. We are very interested in getting updates about your trip to Uganda. The church he attended while here is Neighborhood Bible Fellowship and I will pass on any news to them in order to pray for your team and especially Vic. Thanks. Glendall Toney
