First Post

Hello Faithful Reader(s),

Tomorrow I leave for Uganda for the month of July. This blog is about that. This blog isn't about chronicling exactly what I do every day in Uganda. (I usually find that type of thing pretty boring and don't read them myself.) Instead, I'd like to tell stories and share experiences and thoughts as authentically as possible. Hopefully you'll enjoy it.

Here are the vital statistics for this trip:
Dates: July 1 - 31. (The first half I'll be in Kampala and the second half I'll probably be in Gulu.)
Purpose: For the first two weeks I'm co-leading a trip of all-star high schoolers from my church (Lancaster Evangelical Free Church) to Kampala. We'll be giving presentations to public high schools about AIDS, preaching the gospel, visiting orphanages, and a potential construction project. The second two weeks, I'll head to Gulu to visit some Grovers from Project Okello and look into the possibility of a long term project.

Well that's all for tonight. Perhaps a longer post is in order before I leave.

peace love and the Man above,
dave

p.s. Things like this are why I am going to miss the U.S.
