Seven days and counting until we (we means my wife, my youngest daughter and me) board our first scheduled flight to Entebbe, Africa.  Karen got her second Hepatitis B and a flu shot.  I've never taken the flu shot and remember having the flu when I was a young man.  With travel and more outbreaks my healthcare provider recommended I take it.  So I did yesterday - OUCH!  Our last item on the list of to-dos to get ready for boarding is scouring the check-list to be sure we have everything packed to load the plane.  We have gotten a good start.

We thank those who have been praying for us on this journey.  Pray that we can, as someone says, "make much of Jesus."  He is much more than enough and is Alpha, Omega and all in all.

We also thank those who have given to this ministry.  To date we have received $2143.13 in offerings and donations and raised approximately $798.00 in craft and bake sales.  The first $1000.00 will go to Uganda for an offering the remainder will help us on our trip.  The plane tickets alone are just under $1500.00 each round trip.  If you would like to help with this ministry please send any amount to Church of God of Prophecy, 807 Powers Blvd., Waverly, TN 37185 or Milton and Karen Gordon, 1117 Jason Circle, Ashland City, TN 37015.  Earmark cheques for Uganda trip or offering.  For tax purposes make it to the church.

ALSO, The National Bishop of Uganda, Ntezimana James, is asking for anyone who has a workable laptop that is not in use, if you would like to donate it, to let us know.  We will delivery it to them.

We will be communicating the best we can by calling, sending texts and pictures through a service called Viber.  We will also take our video camera.  If you have a smart phone you can go to Viber and get the app.  Calls are free from any country to another from Viber to Viber participants with wifi.  I will take as many pictures and videos possible while I am there and try to update on this blog site.

We continue to ask for your prayer support and covering for this ministry and for the national convention in Uganda January 22-26.
