In 54 days the Park Place Uganda Team will depart for our African Journey.

While in capital city of Kampala, our first week's responsibilities will include leading workshops for teachers and musicians, organizing the Kasubi school library and making ready a hostel for visiting pastors. On the weekend, we will visit a village, close to city of Jinga, where we will participate in small group discussions and church services. During our second week, we will make home visits through the local T.A.P.P. Program to women and children living with HIV/AIDS, as well as, grandmothers raising grandchildren many who have been orphaned from effects of AIDS. As part of Park Place's project money, we will also finish a fence for the Mutungo Church of God which was started in 2008. We are excited about ministering in partnership with the Church of God, Uganda.

Team Members are: Alex Hammel, Joel Minnich, Kelsey Stiers, Kathryn Stiers, Josh Weiger, Audrey Weiger, Debbie Weiger, Melanie Mattingly, Steve Fridley, Paul White, Sandra Overstreet, Denise Kriebel, Trish Janutulo, Zola Noble, Bernie Butler, and Deb Breeden.

  1. It's strange how one can feel privileged and apprehensive at the same time. That's how I feel to be a part of this team. Sometimes you just know that you're supposed to do something or be a part of some event. The past trips that have gone to Uganda from Park Place have left me yearning to be there too, but other things were in the way, so I knew I wasn't supposed to go. This time, I prayed, may I go, and God must have said yes because things are working out for me to go. The group is a wonderful mix of ages and interests and talents, and I'm very much looking forward our approaching time together. I'm not sure what God has in store for us, but I'm sure it will challenge us all as we grow in our faith.
