“Life is so unnerving for a servant who’s not serving.
He’s not whole without a soul to wait upon.”
- Lumiere, from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

Jesus, in His great commission, said:
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” (Matthew‬ ‭28:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

When He sent out the Twelve, Jesus said:
“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.” (Matthew‬ ‭10:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

To the seventy-two missionaries, He said:
“Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’” (Luke‬ ‭10:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

So we have several instances of Jesus sending out ministers of His message to heal and teach. We are commissioned to go into our world doing likewise, just as the Pharisee was instructed to act as the Good Samaritan, who nursed a stranger (Luke 10:25-37).

This same Jesus who sent you into all the world said:
“where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭12:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬).

Like Lumiere, you may feel as though you aren’t going far enough, doing enough, or shining your light in a meaningful enough way. We would like to offer ourselves to you as representatives, vessels of blessing through which you may extend yourself to the other end of the world. As we advance into Uganda, please send us with your prayers and your heart. The word for this sort of substitution is used more formally in the church is “ordain,” defined by Dictionary.com as: “to invest with ministerial or sacerdotal functions; confer holy orders upon.”

Would you consider ordaining us to represent your heart in East Africa? We need partners who will commit to pray for us, follow our progress, and send their hearts and regular financial support. Please consider being a sending partner with us. To connect in this way please visit our donor/partner page.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (James‬ ‭1:27‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

Want to go a step further? Would you help us multiply our sending support base? Would you approach your small group, Bible study, church congregation or regional leadership and share what we are doing? We need a broad foundation from which to launch, and we are eager to share this ministry with as many as are willing to send us.

We are very excited to announce the beginning of a new season in this ministry. It is finally time to begin building financial support for our deployment to Uganda. To this end, we have partnered with EquipNet, the mission agency who will be managing our international support.

If you are interested in being a part of this mission and supporting it financially, please visit our DONATE page. We welcome your partnership and appreciate you being among our senders.

Our short term deployment is less than a year away and will require that we raise $5,000. After that, it will be time to begin planning our indefinite stay. Any support you can share is greatly appreciated.
