If our life in Christ means anything to you, if love can persuade at all, or the Spirit that we have in common, or any tenderness and sympathy, then be united in your conviction and united in your love, with a common purpose and a common mind. - Philippians 2:1-2

Those Who Went Before

On Sunday March 22nd, the Uganda mission team met with a special guest, Terry Dwyer, from First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley. Terry and a group of his church members teamed up with Habitat for Humanity International to build homes for impoverished families in Jinja, Uganda. He showed a DVD of the trip that shows a lot of bricklaying and brick-tossing, as well as entertaining the village children who had been a constant audience at their work site. He shared that some of the unexpected challenges were seeing extreme poverty for the first time by many of the team members. Terry also shared with us that through his experience in Uganda, God had given him a heart for the children of Uganda, especially children who have been maimed by land mines in the north. All in all, it was an inspiring presentation for the team members and we're all excited and looking forward to what God is going to do during our own mission trip in July 2009.
