Uganda Mission

Praise the Lord, my friends in Christ!

In just 3 months God has worked through the great generosity of our congregation and has raised ALL the money for the Prince of Peace Chapel/Refectory at the Kinkiizi CommunityCollege in Uganda.

It is amazing what can happen when we say "yes" to the invitation to join the work that God is already doing in the world. If we had come up with a plan, figured out how to implement it and then invited
God into the process I doubt very seriously that there would be a building underway in Africa. Instead, we heard God's invitation and simply stepped out in faith and began our Lego chapel. As we built it here in plastic, the people of Kinkiizi began building with real bricks in faith that we would be able to complete our commitment. This is a powerful statement of what can happen when we have outrageous expectations knowing that it is God who will accomplish them through us.

Now that we have built the walls it is time to build the bridges.

We will be sending 6 missionaries to Uganda this year and some every year. We have set up a fund to sponsor those who feel called and are willing to commit to the work but are unable to fund their own trips. It will cost approximately $2500 for each person all included. We will be doing a conference at the
community college called "Mission Transformation" as well as working with SOMA, an internationally recognized mission organization on a yet to be determined assignment. We will also attend the dedication ceremony of the Prince of Peace Chapel and Refectory. Our team is as follows: Fr. Brian
Bailey, Marsha Hunt, Linda Armstrong, Brad Hemmings, Spencer Smilanick and Julie Fanton. Some can fund their own trips, some cannot. I have told them that if God is calling them to this mission that the money will come. Again, we are putting ourselves in the Lords hands and getting started in faith that the means will be provided. Please pray for us and for the mission.

We will be accepting donations on the patio after church or you may put your donation in the plate CLEARLY marked for Uganda Mission Team or call Julie Fanton at 818-610-2055 or email at juliekayef@socal.rr.com
