Dear Buyamba Friends,
We hope this note finds you doing well and enjoying the Fall season. Our first meeting took place on Monday, October 30 and several people were not able to attend. Good news though...
we are having our second meeting on Tuesday, November 28, 2017.
It's not too late to secure your spot on the February trip!
For those who did not attend the first meeting, we will do a quick review of the mission travel guide, and answer any questions you may have. We will share a meal together and get to know one another. We will be discussing a project to carry out while in Uganda and get to know each other's interest in serving.
At this time your first deposit of $1,000 will be due in order to purchase airline tickets and secure your spot on the team.
Please have your completed applications and be sure to download and review our Mission Trip Travel Guide to prepare any questions you might have at the meeting.
Please RSVP to ensure we have enough food and are meeting at the appropriate venue for our group size. If there are many of us then we will likely relocate.

We will stay together as a team at The Glory House.
The Glory House has running water, individual bathrooms, mosquito nets, and a very friendly staff. It is close to the primary school and other places we will be eating dinner.
We will have at least three team meetings before our departure day and we keep communication open. Getting to know one another is helpful so that we have a cohesive team. We can lift up one another in prayer and talk through any questions that might come up. We will also be going through a 40-day devotional called
Before You Go that I will purchase for you as team leader.
