This year's team includes:
Scott Dickie, Tracey Dickie, Owen Dickie, Beckham Dickie, Paisley Dickie, Nigel Scott, Debbie Scott, Howard Scott, Brent White, Allayne McGowan, Lauren Bruce, Tiana Gogolin and Wendy Ford
For some this trip will be there first experience of the work God is doing in Uganda, and for others they are travelling back because Uganda truly has a piece of their heart.
Some of the things the team will be participating during the 3 weeks will be:
- Spending time loving the kids on the 10 acres site
- Care and compassion trips in the community
- Speaking at church and in small groups
- Teaching VBS days to the local elementary school
- Experiencing the work God is doing in Mpigi, Uganda
The past few months have involved many meetings along with practical and spiritual preparation. Kiddie Packs are all organized, packed and ready to take on the care and compassion trips, but there is still lots of work to do. The team is finding it a challenge to plan VBS lessons for 250 children, and prepare words to speak in church small groups so we ask for your prayers that God will equip us with everything we need.
We also ask for your prayers for safety as we enter Uganda at a time of political unstability, and for open eyes, ears and hearts so that we can fully embrace this incredible experience.
We are all excited to see what God has in store for us, what He will teach us while we are there and how He wants us to be His hands and feet to the people we meet. This blog, though frequent posts may be tough due to internet access, will allow you to share in our journey.
Blessings,
The 2011 Team
