Uganda Scouting Trip

In March, we shared that we would be taking a scouting trip to Uganda with a team from our church this summer. Earlier this week we embarked on this adventure. After 18 hours of flying, we arrived safely in Kampala on Tuesday and have had an incredible week so far.

Wednesday, we spent the day seeing some sites in Kampala and recovering from our jet leg. Thursday, we spent the day with Africa Renewal Ministries (ARM) visiting their various ministries in and around Kampala. We were so encouraged by our time with all the people and leaders we met with, and it was exciting to hear about all God is doing through their ministry. A highlight of the day was traveling across Lake Victoria on a motor boat together to get to one of their project sites and the final leg of the trip included a boda-boda ride, which quite the adventure to say the least,   Friday, we met with a regional leader from African Inland Mission (AIM) and learned about all the great work they are doing in Uganda and the surrounding region. We ended the day getting to pray and worship at Gaba Community Church which was a special treat to end our week here in Kampala. Our hosts, guides and accommodations have been amazing and we want to thank everyone at Bridge Africa International for your incredible servant hearts and for taking such good care of us.

We head up to northern Uganda tomorrow morning (Saturday) and we will be spending the remainder of our time here with a ministry about an hour south of Gulu. Pray for our travels and time there next week and updates to come as internet access permits.
