Darlene and I left on June 3 for Jinja, Uganda, Africa. The purpose of our mission was to help facilitate a large KGEA team doing a medical mission in several towns around Jinja. Then, on June 16, we had a team of 11 joining us to continue work at Ms Agnes Orphanage and Henry Ssevviiri’s Church in Njeru.
“I miss them already”. These words were sweetly spoken to me by my bride on the airplane as we came home on June 24. We had just spent 21 days away from home, and even though we missed family, friends, church and Fair Havens Farm, there is something in Uganda that has stolen our hearts. I believe it is the incredible openness for the Gospel there. The people are so loving and kind there. We have so many friends there now. God is at work in Uganda!
We have so many stories to tell you about serving in a medical mission, doing VBS, presenting a ladies conference, pouring a concrete slab, Bible and reading glasses give away and much more. They will be posted in coming blogs.
There are on-going opportunities to help and join in. Contact us if you would like to join in.
The Lord tells us to make disciples as we go, so let’s go get em’ and as Pastor Ed would say, “since the victory is already won, let’s go run up the score!”

All in all it was a great mission. We were blessed. Thank you to everyone that helped to get us there!
