All packed and ready to go - 6 hours and counting

In six hours, I will taking off for New York City (JFK), then Brussels, then Bujumbura, and finally Entebbe. We should be land in Entebbe on June 1st around 9:05pm, then start heading toward Kampala (I am not sure how long it takes to get bags and then to where we will be based).

I appreciate all of the encouragment I have gotten from so many people and that our mission will be in so many prayers.

I should have a new post some time on June 2nd.

Until then . . .

The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26

11 days and counting

The journey begins 11 days from now and I am very excited about what lies ahead. I will be as far as I have ever been from home and definitely in a new environment.

I hope to be able to use this blog as an on-line journal, where I can update everyone on the trip and post photo's along the way. I have been told that power can be inconsistent so I will update this as often as I can while in Uganda.

I ask that if you would, pray for the safety of the folks on the coming mission trips and the safety of our families. Pray that we can truly do God's work and be a blessing to the people of Uganda.

I look forward to sharing my experiences on this coming trip.

God is Great!
