How Can I Prepare?

This is a 'ministry focused' mission trip. Below, are a few things that can help you to prepare for this trip.

1) Pray!, Pray!!, Pray!!! Pray for each team member and their families. We will be going into the enemies territory and he is not going to stand by and watch us tear his kingdom down without a fight. This is spiritual warfare!

2) Pray that there will be unity among the team members and that God will use each team member for his own glory.

3) Pray for Uganda, the Churches, Schools, Orphanages, and the various places where we will be going that God will prepare their hearts to receive his message.

4) Pray that God will show you the part you will play and begin to prepare. Each participant will have lots of opportunities to be involved in a hands-on project/ministry.

5) Pray that the Lord will provide the money needed for the trip. Set targets, and begin to save. You will also need money for tips, gifts and souvenirs, etc.…

6)Set a monthly goal. If you have a year to go, set a goal to raise/save $200 per month. Don't wait until the last minute to raise/save for the trip start now.

7) Encourage others to pray for you; your church, family and close friends are a great place to start. Get email addresses so that you can keep in touch when in Uganda. They will love it.

8) We have an opportunity to share a portion of our own resources with those whose needs are far greater than our own. Look at the Ministry Needs and ask the Lord if he would like you to meet some of those needs.

9) Read books on Uganda, the culture and it's people.

10) Keep in touch with the other team members on a regular basis. If you are in the same city, organize prayer and planning sessions together.
