UPDATE ON UGANGA, AFRICA MISSION TRIP

We continue to plan and prepare for our mission journey to be in and participate in the Uganda, Africa COGOP National Convention.*  Karen is also continuing to bake items for sale to help with our trip and for an offering for the ministry in Uganda.  She is also making crochet scarfs to keep warm for $10-12 each.  Now is a good time to order scarfs for the cold days ahead.  You can order other baked items as well (send FB message).  We have now received $1622.00 (part given for Karen and I and part given for Sarah) in donations and have raised about $465.00 in profits from bake and craft sales.  We are thankful for any donations and are keeping a close record.  The first $1000.00 is ready to be given as an offering to the ministry of the Church of God of Prophecy in Uganda.  

The date for departure is planned for January 18th.  The National Convention is scheduled for January 22-26.  We will be in flight 2.3 days total for the round trip.  We will arrive late night January 19th.  Overseer, Ntezimana James has advised that we arrive a day or two early to rest before the convention and to rest a day or two after the convention before we board on January 28th to return on January 29th. 

We are continuing to get the needed items together for the flight and stay in Uganda.  Here is a brief list of items we have completed or need to complete for the journey to Uganda....

1.  Shots for hepatitis A and B (Milton had first round, Karen took First round 12/10/13 - 2nd 01/10/14, Milton took Hep. B on 12/14)
2.  Shots for Yellow Fever (done for all three - 10 year duration)
3.  Oral typhoid vaccination taken for all three (5 year duration)
4.  Malaria medication (prescribed, filled and ready to start 2 days before departure)
5.  Application for Visas finalized, received and ready for trip.
6.  Flight plan, schedule and tickets (completed 12/09/13 on Delta airways), travel meals to and from, other misc. expense. 
7.  Luggage (purchased 12/10/13 at a great price), clothing and other items for trip and stay of 8-9 days
8.  Continuing prayer for the Uganda COGOP National Convention.

Those who wish to donate (any amount is appreciated) can send it to Church of God of Prophecy, 807 Powers Blvd, Waverly, TN 37185 or 1117 Jason Circle, Ashland City, TN 37015.  Earmark it for either the trip or the offering to Uganda, Africa COGOP.  We will have records of all donations and funds raised for the mission trip.  We already have a minimum of $1000.00 offering for the ministry in Uganda. 

Most of all, your prayer support and covering is needed above all else.
