MISSION: UGANDA

The 2014 Uganda Mission Team is on the move!  Here's the team in the Memphis Airport, ready for the long journey to Africa.  

(3PM UPDATE: the team made it to Detroit, next stop, Amsterdam)

The Uganda Team started its travel to Uganda last night, with a drive and short night's sleep in Memphis.  The trip includes approximately 27 hours flying time on four different planes.  Their route takes them from Memphis to Detroit, Detroit to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Kigali, Rwanda, and then Kigali to Kampala, Uganda.  Once in Uganda, they will travel by some type of motor vehicle to SOS Ministries in Kubamitwe.  This will be an extremely arduous trip.

Here are some things members of the Uganda Team have requested we pray for:

1.  That they would not have any fear about flying, but would be filled with an unbelievable and supernatural peace;

2.  That they would be useful, and that God would be gracious to show them how He is using them;

3.  That they would have opportunities and boldness to share Christ while traveling and while in Uganda;

4.  That they would truly be changed more into the image of Christ through this trip and that they would come home with hearts that look more like the heart of our Savior;

5.  That there would be complete unity among the team members.  That they would have supernatural grace, forgiveness, understanding and love for one another;

6.  For protection against sickness.  That everyone would be healthy throughout the trip.  That there would be no accidents or mishaps.  That God would keep all of them safe;

7.  That God would strengthen Jason as he leads the team, and that the Lord would give him wisdom, discernment, energy, and peace;

8.  For strength, protection, and safety for the team members' families who will be without their loved ones, and for Doug Truitt as he grieves the loss of his aunt while members of his family are away;

9.  That all of the luggage would arrive with the team and would be intact; and

10.  That the team members would be able to sleep.
