Answered Prayers

After meeting with MTW in Atlanta back in December, Chris Goodman and I started praying for God to lead us to an opportunity this summer that would allow us to experience some type of church-planting and even mercy ministry. We really didn't have much going besides prayer itself, but God sovereignly used different people to connect us with Pastor Dave Eby and his work in Uganda. It so happens they're planning to work with two different church plants this summer, one being in the capital of Uganda and another in a rural village, and have invited us to serve in ways of evangelism, gathering locals for events and possibly even some medical ministry as well. We'll actually be there for one church's very first morning service! Basically, it's more than we asked for. And at this point, God has also brought together four additional teammates that will be journeying this summer with us: Adam Shields, Stephanie Jones, Sarah Autrey and Abby McIlvaine. We're very thankful for such a faithful team and looking forward to meeting together for our first time toward the end of this month.
