We continue to plan and prepare for our 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. She is full right now on scarf orders but can take more orders now to be completed after Christmas. This is a good time to order homemade coconut cakes for Christmas or scarfs for the cold days ahead. You can order other baked items as well (send FB message). We have received $900.00 (part for Karen and I and part for Sarah) in donations and have raised about $365.00 in profits from bake and scarf sales.
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....
