Missions Teams

This summer, Jackson Senyonga and Christian Life Ministries have hosted about 120 guests from the United States for short-term mission trips, with winter mission trip coming up in December, the number of guests is expected to go beyond 150. Praise God!

These wonderful guests leave behind lasting smiles on the people of Uganda. They serve in so many ways. UKids, a very project oriented team, came this year to help start the school building for our children. They also put on a Vacation Bible School and did some mum training. Another group with members from Colorado and Alaska came to build a computer lab, a lavatory, and do special projects in Lira… all for our children. Dr. Dan from Ohio brought a team to do a temporary dental clinic for the children and mums. Rick Chowdry did maintenance on our water purification plant that he helped plant. Houses were painted, clothesline was hung, mums were blessed, and children were loved. The list goes on and on.

We are forever grateful for these teams that are helping shape Uganda’s future by preparing its leaders today.

Have a beautiful day,

Alaska

Thank you for your prayers regarding my trip to Alaska. I am so glad that God called me to Alaska, it was not nearly as cold as I expected it to be!

When I landed Saturday, I had very little time to rest before I met with a group of mission trip participants for this summer. They will be building our orphan village a lavatory and hopefully a computer lab. We are so excited for their time there! Praise God!

Sunday, I spoke during two services at South Tongass Alliance Church with Pastor Cade King. Also, during my trip, I interviewed with a local radio as well as a newspaper. Monday evening, I spoke at a special event where there was standing room only. I was allotted a 15 minute slot to speak, but I really stretched the limits when I spoke for 20 minutes! Don't they know I can't speak for only 15 minutes? It is not in my nature! :)

God was definitely present during my stay in Alaska. All speaking events and interviews were powerful. If that wasn't proof enough, the sun was out the whole time I was there, which according to the locals is rare. They invited me back if I promised to bring the sun again. :)

Blessings,

Jackson Senyonga

Travels

This past month has been a very busy month of traveling to speak to many people about what the Lord is doing in our ministry. Upon returning from Uganda I have been out of the state every weekend to speak at various churches.


I traveled to Colorado Springs, CO and Grants Pass, OR the first weekend I returned. The followeng weekend I returned to Colorado Springs to speak at a different church. I then traveled to Flagstaff, AZ and Greenwich, CT this past weekend. God is doing some great things in this ministry and it has been interesting to see what he is doing.


There is one place I have asked God not to send me and He has decided to send me anyway. This weekend I will be traveling to Ketchikan, Alaska. I am excited to see why God has sent me this way but am nervous about the cold weather. Pray that I stay warm.
Blessings,
Jackson Senyonga
