Uganda here we come. I want to journal this missions trip to give you an idea of what is involved and the various activities and feelings as we go. We sit now - with the call coming to board the plane - so I am writing quickly to let you know here we go.
The team - made up of 13 of us... 8 from The River Church, Emma, Graham, Joshua, Sarah, Tiffany, Dwight, Patrick and Shawn, a mother - daughter team from Ill. - Ellen and Sarah, young lady from Ill. - Amber, young mom from California - Allison and a young single lady from Wisc. - Abby
Our trip to Uganda is a marathon trip... 5 hour drive to ABQ. overnight, flight to Houston, flight to Dubai - 14 to 15 hours, overnight, and then the last flight to Uganda. Wow, it's a loooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time to get to Uganda this way.. but so worth it.
I want the team to experience God in ways they have never done before. I want their hearts to be broken when they see the overwhelming mass of humanity in need. I want to see God, change them as he has changed me. We know we can not change the whole world but we can change one life, then another and another.
We go with anticipation. We know the risks, yet we also know God's call. So we go with expectancy, we go with passion, we go fully relying on God!
Bless you all, I will keep you updated on this my jumbled - uncut journal. If you can track with me on this, or even if you can not, you will have more compassion for Linny as she tries to keep up with my spider web way of thinking!!!!
