During a recent government meeting, a council member shared insights from a mission trip to Uganda, where a group of 16 individuals from Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas engaged in various humanitarian efforts. The trip focused on supporting a center dedicated to rescuing girls from sex trafficking, although specific details were withheld for safety reasons.
The team also visited an isolated indigenous village, where they provided essential resources, including a solar-powered box containing the Bible in the local tribal language. This initiative aimed to enhance the villagers' access to spiritual guidance and education, as the community lacks basic amenities like running water and electricity.
In Kampala, the group collaborated with First Priority Uganda, an organization involved in youth leadership and community outreach. They conducted a Vacation Bible School and youth leadership programs, resulting in 179 individuals reportedly coming to know Christ during the conference.
The council member emphasized the importance of mission work, stating that it embodies the values of compassion and service to others. The meeting concluded with gratitude expressed for the opportunity to participate in such impactful work.
