Watermark Team Headed To Uganda
On Friday, a team of 6 women and 5 men depart Dallas headed for Soroti, Uganda. Soroti is located in the eastern/central part of the country. The women are: Mandy Bagdanov, Miriam Sperring, Julie Anders, Melissa Nunley, Pam McGee and Jennifer Lewis. The guys team includes: John McGee, Kyle Graham, David Dzina, Matt McCuen, JJ Barto. For most of the team members, this is a first trip to Africa and they are very hopeful, excited, and confident in what the Lord has in store.
Our plan is to visit the trade school that Watermark is building, meet children and families sponsored by the orphan care program, and our primary privilege and responsibility is to teach Biblical principles. Partnered with ALARM, we are hosting 2 conferences simultaneously – one for the men and one for the women. We expect 100 or so in each conference – though, as things go in Africa, this number is likely to change significantly with little or no advanced knowledge – Africans have much to teach this American (Jennifer Lewis) about flexibility!
We will be teaching the Biblically-based, hope-filled, grace-motivated messages of roles of men and women in marriage, conflict resolution, leadership, health and hygiene, and the principles of grieving heartache and hurts (so common and horrific there) and receiving and extending the forgiveness that is only available in our Savior. We covet your prayers as we depart … for the participants to know our Savior and love His Word, for the truths taught to be a source of transformation and not just information (for the Americans as well as the Ugandans!), for safety with flights and physical health, for unity and sweet fellowship of the team. May the Lord be glorified!
