Why are we going on Short Term Mission Trips to Uganda?
"Loving One By One leads short-term mission team trips to Uganda twice each year, normally in January and June.
If you believe that you would like to share your God given gifts and talents with the people of Uganda, please contact us for information on upcoming trips as well as testimonies from those who have already gone to serve and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ."
The reasons we are going to Uganda include the following:
- To spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ by our words and deeds
- To lead to Christ anyone that we come into contact with that is willing
- To feed, clothe and medicate the children living on the streets of Kampala, Uganda
- To hold medical clinics in the slums and various orphanages of Kampala
- To hold Vacation Bible School in several different locations
- To help the teachers and work with the children at “New Creation Centre” school
- To minister to the children of Loving One by One's Orphanage “New Creation Family Home”
- To visit the workers and babies at the Sanyu Babies' Home
- To worship at local churches
- To grow in our faith and love of God by serving others
- To visit local African markets
- To visit the source of the River Nile
- To experience the adventure of being in Africa
All of the above are good and worthy reasons for our trip to Uganda. Some may have other very good reasons as well, and we pray that our efforts will be fruitful. If we find that our efforts are NOT fruitful will we give up? Let us hope not. If we were to make Matthew 28:19-20 our driving passion, to see people become a disciple of Christ, would we be accomplishing all that Christ has asked? Our Lord Jesus Christ told us to spread His Gospel to the ends of the earth. He also told us to take care of widows and orphans, and He said that whatever we do to the least we do to Him. Why did He tell us to do these things? He told us to do them for the glory of God. As we travel to Uganda let us think of the following:
- The priority of missions must be faithfulness to God and His Word, not fruitfulness.
- The promotion of missions should be based primarily on God and His glory, not man's needs.
- The power of missions must be Devine, not human.
We might also take time to read the following Scripture versus: Psalms 19:1, 39 and 90, 2 Corinthians 4, Romans 5: 1-2, Romans 8:18, and Philippians 3:20-21. When we center our mission focus on being faithful to His Word, on Glorifying God, and having the discernment to follow His Divine plan, the Power of the Holy Spirit will move mountains and provide a way for us to do all that Jesus commanded us to do!
Our purpose on this trip and throughout our lives is to know Jesus personally and to share His love passionately by living for the glory of God. All mission work is short term when we consider that ultimately we will worship and glorify God for all eternity
