The Team

It seems that just last week I went to the first Uganda meeting, but in three days we will be on an airplane going to the “Pearl of Africa.” The team has been preparing for many weeks, and we can only pray that God will bless our fervor and dedication. We are so very thankful that the Lord has provided the funds for our entire team through the support of our church and many others. Now as we embark to serve Him, it is our hope that He will grant us much wisdom and the ability to communicate His Word to the wonderful people of Uganda.

The members of this year’s team are some of the loveliest people I have ever met. Pastor Aaron Fleming and Matt Wolfe are fantastic leaders and we are very grateful for their devotion and guidance. When I think of these next women, the only term that comes to mind is the fab five. Mrs. Chris Fleming, Jenna McCollough, Stephanie Coppock, Alex Guiffre, and Lindsay Dennis are simply amazing. I could never say enough good things about their patience and helpfulness in every situation. Dr. Matt Phillips is obviously the go-to person if there is ever a health question, but he has also been wonderful in explaining numerous evangelism tools. The boys, Soren Geiger, Austin Gaines, and Daniel Phillips are full of life and energy, which will be most useful after the long days of sharing the Gospel. Rounding out the group are Spencer, Mary Grace, and J.R. Owen, who are each uniquely talented. Spencer, one of the few veterans on the team, will be great at showing his sister the ropes, although Mary shouldn’t be underestimated. I am expecting great things from the little one. Their dad J.R. will be a wonderful teacher to every Ugandan he meets. I, Alexis Johnson, received the wonderful job of managing the blog, which I am sure will be more and more of a blessing every day.

I look forward to the coming weeks, and hope that you all will keep us in your prayers as we seek to proclaim God’s Word to this great country.
