Getting Ready - 15 weeks to go
We had the first training session last Saturday, September 17.
It was great to get together with the other people that will be going to Zziba, Uganda with me and Stan in January. Zziba is very close to Nkokonjeru which is about 35 miles east of the capital Kampala. These training sessions are crucial to the effectiveness of our involvement.
The purpose of the trip is to visit the orphanage in Zziba and meet the children, Edith and all of the staff there. We are thinking that we might be helping to build or start building the Medical Clinic there.
Beth S. gave her presentation on missionary training and also the Wordless Book on how to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our next steps are the following:
1. Begin putting together a support team letter and contact list.
2. Practice your Wordless Book presentation. So that I am ready to "demonstrate" it at the next training!
3. Begin scheduling vaccinations and checking with doctor as to which ones I need.
4. Be in touch w/my prayer partner to encourage her and let her know you're praying for her request.
5. Assemble my training notes and other handouts in a Uganda file or notebook.
6. Start a todo list and get a packing list going as ideas pop into my head.
7. Check airfares and other travel ideas.
The hardest part right now is not having exact dates for the trip. I will be praying that that gets solved quickly.
