I (Nick) am so excited! I am getting ready to go on my first mission trip. My lovely wife, Sarah, has had the priveldge of going on mission trips as a youth, but when I was growing up, I wasn't involved enough in the church for it to even cross my mind. Until now. Because I get to spend my spring break on a mission trip! I'm going to Uganda (yes - in Africa)!
That is the short version; if you want the details, keep reading. This all started when Sarah was trolling Facebook and catching up on the latest adventures of Courtney Skierra-Vaughn. Courtney, and her huisband Chris, have been living in Africa off and on for the last few years, working on a variety of missionary and humanitarian projects. They were back in the states, and Courtney had been diligently updating Facebook and her blog. Sarah showed me their latest idea - building a boarding school in Uganda. Sarah said that she was thinking about helping out. I somewhat flippantly said that we should go with them - but then I realized that I meant that. We should go. I am going. I will be heading to Uganda with Chris to help with the planning process for the school, and meeting the kids who need the school. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. I know that God is doing great things in Uganda, and I am honored that He is sending me. Isaiah 6:8, "then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said "Here I am. Send me!"
