Back to Africa!

We are going back to Africa! 
As soon as we returned from Uganda this past summer we began preparations for the next trip. We considered many options and looked at going many different routes. But it was decided we would do basically the same thing we did last year, except bigger and better planned. At this point in the preparations we have taken applications and volunteers and we have between 25-30 individuals praying and thinking about going. We hope that with a higher number of people and a broad range of talents we will be able to continue working in Busia and bless the church and community even more than this past summer. Our goal is to be able to spend a few days doing "hut to hut" evangelism in the village, a few days of teaching doctrines and a book of the Bible in men's and women's groups, at the same time have teams to minister to the kids in the school, and also work on a construction project for the church. 
Here are a few ways you can pray:
1. For the team to be solidified within the next month or so.
2. For the fund raising process for the whole team. 
3. For the planning and preparing process.
4. For the hearts of the people we will encounter.
5. For Buteba Baptist Church and her daughter churches as they minister right now to their members and community.
