UGANDA MISSION TRIP 2013


"When I go to Spain... I hope to... to have you assist me on my journey there."  
-- Romans 15:24  


This Summer 2013, my wife, my son, and I will be privileged to be able to participate in a mission trip with Designs for Hope.  Out team of 15 people will be be going to Lira, Uganda to distribute Bicycle Generator Kits to a number of pastors in that region of Uganda. These Bicycle Generator Kits will enable pastors and evangelists in the region to have battery powered lights for their homes as well as the ability to charge their cell phones.  This small convenience will greatly enhance their ability to minister to their flocks and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ.  In addition, we will also be doing some pastor training, taking advantage of other ministry opportunities, and will be visiting a ranch/orphanage run by African Children's Mission.  As the inaugural mission trip for Designs for Hope, we know that this will be an exciting trip and that God will do great work while we are there.   We covet your prayers as we embark on this adventure for Jesus.

As excited as we are to go on this trip, we could use your help getting there.  Expenses for the three of us to go on this trip will be in excess of $7500.   If God so lays it on your heart to do so, please give prayerful consideration to contributing towards our expenses for this mission trip. All donations made towards the trip will be credited 100% towards our expenses associated with making this trip and will be considered a tax deductible contribution to Designs for Hope (DFH will send you a tax receipt).

Any amount you may be willing to contribute towards our trip will be greatly appreciated.  However, all donations of $50 or more will receive a free copy of my book, Faith Beyond Belief.  Similarly, all donations of $100 or more will not only receive a copy of Faith Beyond Belief, but will also receive a free copy of my soon to be released book, Indescribable Joy.
