From Carlos Kalczuk (CC Philly Missions Pastor). Seems like a great opportunity…
Hi everyone, I wanted to give you some more information about the medical trip to Uganda we are praying about. All of this info will be given again when we have an official meeting after the holiday’s. Basically, we would be working along side a good friend of mine Pastor Craig Lindquist, who pastor’s the Calvary Chapel in Entebbe, Uganda. Entebbe is where the International Airport is, and used to be the old capital of Uganda. The Calvary there is about 5 years old and is thriving. They have their own building and their own school attached to the church. Entebbe sits right on the shores of Lake Victoria, the second largest lake in the world, and has a population of around 75,000 people. The church currently has a medical outreach to some small island communities that are right on the lake there. Every Saturday, a small medical team goes to a different island to give free medical care, and present the gospel. We would basically be “Island” hoping, and be hosting free medical clinics during the day (with children’s games and activities during that time), and then towards night be doing some evangelism in the form of the Jesus movie, and open air evangelism, for those who are comfortable with this. We will probably camp out each night on the island, and then go the next island in the morning to do it all over again. The need is great as the people who live on these islands really never get off the island because of a lack of jobs equalling a lack of money. They are living in deplorable conditions, and without the gospel of Jesus Christ, they are living in a nightmare with no end in sight. Please take this next week to pray about your involvement in this trip. Feel free to email me with any questions before we have our meeting. Have a blessed Christmas!
