The Uganda Mission Project was conceived off of a need to respond from a World Vision article from December, 2005. After prayer through out 2006, a small group from Central UMC decided to travel to Uganda (May, 2007) and see how our church could help. The church responded in two areas: around Gulu and then God through in a twist with the introduction of a pastor from Jinja. Since 2007 Central United Methodist Church of Fayetteville, AR has responded with clothing drives, money for Heifer Project animals, a church building, a car, mosquito nets, food pantry items, school supplies, as well as, World Vision aid and more projects. Two additional mission trips took place in 2008 and 2009 to set up medical clinics serving thousands of Ugandans around the Jinja area and in the IDP camps around Gulu. Also currently in progress from members of the church is a school in the north and Chicken houses in the south. Tuesday, June 8, 2010 a group of eight missionaries will be leaving Northwest Arkansas to serve once again. This blog is set up to follow their adventure serving as the hands and feet of Christ.
