Weekly Field Report - Pre Field


From Black Mountain NC, by David Greene through Equip Inc.

Thank you all for supporting me with your friendships, prayers and donations! I am truly indebted to you for making this mission trip to Jinja, Uganda possible. I am departing this Friday from Charlotte Regional Airport at 3:00pm and flying to Chicago. From there I go to London, spending almost twelve hours there, and then flying to Entebbe, Uganda. I will be picked up by Chris Sperling and driven two hours to the city of Jinja. I will be staying with Chris and his family for 60% of the time, the other 40% will be at his school CLD (Come Let’s Dance) where Chris teaches Farming God’s Way to locals for a year. I do not know why it is called Come Let’s Dance, I’m just accepting it, but I will find out for my own curiosity and let you know. Let’s hope I don’t have to dance.
For ministry opportunities I will go to reflect Christ in my life to the people of Uganda, to witness and to share Him when given the permissible opportunity. I am bringing an Every Church Every Village “Proclaimer” which is a solar/hand-crank/wall plug powered device that plays an audio dramatized version of the New Testament in Luganda, the native language of Ugandan people, for audiences ranging from 300 to 1,000 people. I will initiate a listening group for the proclaimer and leave it in Jinja when I return.   http://www.faithcomesbyhearing.com/every-church-every-village-testimonies <- here are some testimonies of this form of ministry.
I have squared away my shots for Uganda, the plane ticket, insurance, passport and I’m getting a visa stamp at Entebbe. I am bringing: clothing, bug sprays, sunscreen, medications, filtered water bottle, a proclaimer, a summer sleeping bag, a backpack, a camera, one iPod, lots of books, emergency food, Gatorade powder and my Bible... Well it’s off to the races. Thanks once again! I am looking forward to the work the Holy Spirit will perform around and in me.
In Christ,
David Greene
