Team Uganda 2013


With all papers turned in, assignments complete, and final exams finished, the school year is now at an end.

People are flooding out the doors with various boxes, excited to be headed home.

Saturday night I will be moved out of my dorm room. Then Sunday ORU missions starts five days of missionary training called, "Ropes."

Team Leader John
Saturday after that will be a free day, and then Sunday 5/12  nine of us college kids will be flying out to Uganda for 30 days.

This is it. After 19 years of dreaming about going, I am finally about to accomplish my dream of going to Africa.

I could not wish for a better group of people to go with.
We come from every kind of background
Assistant Team Leader Meka
From every corner of the nation
We go with one goal, to be a short term investment into a long term movement for God.

8 of us met in October, some later left the team, and some later joined the team. None of us really knew each other those seven months ago.
Now we have become not only traveling partners, but friends.

Memories will be made. Lives will be changed. This journey has just begun.

I am so excited to see this story unfold.

Side by side we'll see the world.

Each road, every mile is a photograph in motion, there to astound us.
