Uganda Mission Trip Information (Summer 2010)

With the Christmas season over, we can now begin to focus on what God will have us do half way around the world to help out orphans and widows in Uganda.  One of the strategic partnerships for Operation Ignite is Ukids.org, who are now taking applications for their June/July 2010 short-term mission trip.

Team #1 - June 21 thru July 15

Team #2 - July 1 - July 19th

There is an informational meeting at Adventure Church-Roseville at 10:30am on Sunday January 17.  In the meantime, please visit www.ukids.org to view the application and gain a better understanding for what God has accomplished thru U-kids and Adventure Church in Uganda.

Please let me know if you are able to attend the upcoming meeting and/or if you're ready to fill out the Ukids application.

Thanks,  Steve

Below is an email from Mark Gosvener, one the team team leaders, sent out just before Christmas.  Included for your information.  Keep in mind that Abundant Life Church (ALC) is the home church for U-kids (Portland, OR).   ALC's pastor, George Powell, and Rick Stedman are long time friends and have collborated in the past on mission's work completed in Uganda.
 

Hey, Gang.  The details are nailed down for the 2010 Uganda mission trip, and we’re hoping to get our teams nailed down soon.  It’s absolutely amazing to see what God has accomplished at the Seeta Orphan Village, and how it has grown to 850 children.  Mark & Susan Gosvener and Bruce & Debbie Douglas will be leading the teams this year.  There is a lot of interest, spaces are limited, and applications are already coming in.  So if you want to join us, get your applications in soon.  We expect to be able to keep the cost similar to past trips, around $3600.  There are some important changes to the application process this year.

1)       People that regularly attend Abundant Life Church should fill out the attached “ALC” application.

2)       Those not regularly attending ALC should fill out the attached Ukids application.

3)       Include a deposit check for $150 with your application.  Your check will only be cashed if you are accepted, and will be used to open your account with Delta Ministries.  Once you are accepted, and your account has been opened, the deposit is non-refundable.

Bruce and Debbie Douglas, Adam Neil and I will be leaving for Uganda January 7 to do some scouting and planning for the upcoming summer trip.  We really appreciate your support, participation and interest in the past, and look forward to working with you to continue serving the children and mums in the future.  We will be announcing a meeting soon for those interested, and will address all your questions then.  Until then………
