Unganda...Here we come!

That's right...Joy and I are planning to go to Uganda again to minister alongside Joel and Jill Skinner.  I say "again" because as most of you know we have been through this once before.  Last September we had our tickets booked, prayer calendar sent out, shots and meds scheduled, etc., but God had different plans.  I ended up having an emergency appendectomy and the doctors advised us not to make the trip.  I was more upset about the trip than by stomach being cut open in 4 different spots.  Nonetheless, God was in control and his timing is perfect.  God is rarely early, always on time, and never late!

We will be leaving on Valentines Day, February 14, and returning February 23.  That is just one week away!  We are excited, but there is still a lot to do.  We would love your prayers during this time and I have attached a PRAYER CALENDAR for the month of February for you to print off and pray through each day.  We know that your prayers will be the power behind the effectiveness of this trip in God's eyes.  Please join with us in this mission to take the gospel to the nations!

We will be doing several things while we are there.  1) Teaching at a University Student retreat on Saturday. 2) Preaching at University Baptist Church on Sunday.  3) Planning a future trip for The Fields Church and others to join the Skinners in their attempt to make disciples among the nationals in Uganda.  4) Working on discipleship curriculum that will be easily passed from one to the other for several generations of disciple making.  5) Possibly the most important thing we will accomplish while in Uganda will be encouraging and blessing 4 faithful missionaries who have given their lives to spread the gospel around the world.  I can't imagine church planting by myself, much less being a missionary around the world without my closest friends and family.  We are so proud of them and proud to partner with them for the sake of God's kingdom and His Church.  

Again, thank you for your prayers and support for this trip that started last year.  We are grateful for all of you who are a part of what is happening in and through The Fields Church through your involvement, prayer, and support.
