Why I’m going to Uganda:
Why I'm Going to Uganda:
Uganda has such a special place in my heart -
this will be my 3rd time going to Uganda - 1st time leading a huge group! My
wife and I have been so blessed to have parents that pray for us, a church
family that supports us, leaders that push/encourage/believe in us, and
friends that love us that going is a natural overflow of what we've received.
We feel that sharing these blessings with others is a MUST. To not do so
would be selfish.... and we definitely don't want to be selfish =)
If you could eat anything... What
would you eat?
BeaverTails!!!! Biased? Yes....

Why I’m going to
Uganda:
I have always had a heart for the nations and after so many doors have
been closed for me to go to Uganda, this one is finally wide open! I am so
excited to see how God has touched so many Ugandans in the past and even more
thrilled to see what new things God has in store. I believe this experience
will teach me things I never knew, meet people that will impact my life
forever, and more so to witness God’s love like never before. Yay!!
If you could only
choose one thing to eat forever, what would it be?
Burritos. Chicken, steak, hali, beef. Top if off with guac, jalapenos,
corn, salsa, cheese, sour cream. That’s the stuff.

Why I’m going to
Uganda:
The stories of past team members has inspired me and sparked a desire
to go. Many pictures and videos of the Ugandan people for some unexplained
reason began to captivate my heart. I want to go to Uganda to serve them in
any way I can. I want to understand what everyday life is for people outside
of North America, and especially in a third world country. I’m not exactly
sure what I have to offer or give them but I simply want to love the people
and show them I care.
What smell do you
wish you could bottle? Summer
sunsets. I’m not even sure what that should smell like but it sounds
marketable and is my favorite time of day and season!

Why I’m going to
Uganda:
I always wanted to know what it’d be like to serve in the third world.
What can I offer? How can it be sustained? Is it what they need? For me,
there is a special honour in serving the marginalized; something in my Spirit
knows that God LOVES it. I’m particularly excited to spend time in learning
the healthcare needs of the Ugandans: the gaps, the resources and the
ingenuity of the people. I could learn a lot from them in terms of
streamlining care.
What smell do you
wish you could bottle? I wish I
could capture the scent of freshly baked bread. It elicits feelings of
warmth, satisfaction and wonder. I’d stuff it in my bag and indulge on trips
to and from work on the subway.

Why I’m going to
Uganda:
In the past couple of years, I have experienced God’s goodness and
faithfulness in amazing ways. I know that all the experiences are not meant for
me to keep it to myself, but to share with many others, so as to bring
encouragements to men and praises to God! I’m excited to bring my stories and
who I am today to this totally different culture, and see what God may do through
me.
I also long to have a crazy adventure with God and my fellow brothers
and sisters in Christ. Uganda trip seems to be ideal to fit this purpose. I’m
sure it will totally blow my mind.
If I could choose
to live in any place, imaginary or real, where would it be?
Narnia, where all the animals are talking, various mythical creatures
are present, and endless adventures are waiting to be embarked on!

Why I’m going to
Uganda:
Hearing stories from past Uganda missions teams also made me want to
see for myself what God’s doing in Uganda. I feel that God has something that
He wants me to see in Uganda. He’s been stretching and preparing me this past
year for something and this trip is another leap of faith to see where He’s
leading me to.
What smell do you
wish you could bottle?
New car smell

Why I’m going to
Uganda:
I feel like I’ve received so much from the people around me that I need
to give out. I have always loved and have a heart for missions as I've been
to others in the past. I’m going out of faith and obedience to God and
would like to give out all that I can offer in hopes of touching
the people there.
How much wood
could a woodchuck chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
There are many variables that need to be factored in when answering
this question like the weather, the season, the size of the wood, the age of
the woodchuck, the gender, and even the environment. But according to scientific
research an average sized male woodchuck could chuck around 700 pounds of
wood.
