Summer Missions

This time of year is always very exciting for me as teams begin to arrive in Uganda for their various mission trips. Visions that have been planted over the year begin to take place and transformation in Uganda becomes even more of a reality.

We had our first team arrive on Monday and our second team today. They are already on the ground working hard and ministering to our orphans, widows and the people of our church. We are excited to see what the Lord will do through these teams during their short time in Uganda.

Please pray for safe travels for these people. Praise the Lord for their safe arrival. Pray for their visions to come alive and things to be done in the time frame they had hoped they would take place. Pray that relationships would develop. Pray God would move among the people of Uganda and the people from here.

Can't wait to give you updates on what is happening in Uganda this summer!!

Uganda Trip

My wife, Eve, and I are on our way to Uganda today. We will be staying until August 7th. Please pray that God will continue to work through us to make a difference in the lives of the people of Uganda.

I will be following up with my evangelism team to make sure they have implemented our plans that we came up with while I was there at the beginning of the year. I will also be speaking at Christian Life Church for Easter services. He is risen!

Eve has big plans communicating with our orphan ministry to make plans and realize needs for the summer mission teams. She is also very excited about a women’s prayer summit that she will be attending and speaking at. I pray that God will speak through her to move hearts and empower these women.

I will try to keep you all posted, but it is hard to get an internet connection and time all at once. It is a mad rush to get as much accomplished as possible in the short time we are here.

I look forward to returning to the United States and working on mission team project plans for our summer return.

Straight from the mouth of Natalie on the Uganda Experience

Hear what Natalie Caminiti has to say about her time in Uganda:

I went because of the overwhelming need broke my heart. The idea alone of a 20 year war broke my heart not to mention the atrocities that Ugandans are living with as a result of the war. Poverty breaks my heart, and so does 10 percent of the world's orphans living in a country the size of the state I live in.

I thought to myself, hey I'm single without children why can't I take care of some kids who need love? I can only imagine what it must be like to bare a child, but it must feel a lot like being vulnerable enough to feel as if you would do anything to protect life and that's how I feel when I think of the orphans I've met there. I just can't fathom the hurt they have felt in their short lives.

I Ultimately went with the intention to "do good works by my faith," but instead of only being broken for the people of Uganda, I instead became broken for people back home (or in the Western world) because we are so caught up in materialism and schedules and selfishness. We miss the feeling of true community, the blessing of a simple life and the feeling of gratefulness, especially for the small things.

I've been forever changed by my experience and will continue to return as long as God allows.

Consider joining Natalie to Uganda for our summer short term mission trips, “Transforming Uganda 2010.”

Let me know if you are interested.

Church Planting Mission Trip

One of the things we wish to emphasize during next summer’s mission trips is church planting around Kampala. Of course, people will have the ability to serve other ministries like the orphan ministry, etc. We are asking churches to come to Uganda to plant a church. A church or even an individual can sponsor a church planting, which will include buying a small piece of land, building the church structure, plus outreach that will enable the church to be launched. If this is a timely decision, we can do all of the preparation to have the church launched during your mission trip. This could be a life giving moments for you and the rest of your church group or mission trip team.

Please call or email us if your group or church would like to plant a church in Uganda.  info@christianlifeministries.org or 972-307-LIFE

Dates for 2010 Mission Trip

We have finally set the dates for next years’ mission trips. For our general mission trip, the dates are July 22 to July 30. There will be other mission trips during the summer with specific groups going to accomplish specific things, but this one is a general mission trip. It is perfect for those that want to do a little bit of all of our ministries, including caring for orphans, planting churches, evangelism, etc.

We also have scheduled our winter mission trip to Uganda for December 29, 2010 to January 7, 2011.

We would really appreciate your inputs and expression of interest. Also, if you feel you would rather attend the mission trip with a specific group, send us the information of your church or group and we can send you more information and get you guys set up for your desired dates. If you don’t have a group in mind and want to know what groups are in your area, let us know that too. If we know of groups in your area, we will get you in touch with them. We are so excited for next year’s trip!

Win Hearts to Christ

We have found that the best way to win hearts to Christ in Uganda is to lead by example. When you show love to people in Africa, after they see you performing an act of mercy, then you have earned the right to speak to their hearts. Consider us joining us on a mission trip to Uganda next summer (July 2010) to help us win people to Christ and better lives.

Groups to Uganda - Summer 2010

If you know of anyone that has skills and passion that would help transform lives in Uganda, please forward me their information.

Also, if you are interested in giving your heart to Uganda next summer and are afraid to go it alone, that is perfectly fine. Let us know that you are interested, and we can get you in touch with a group from your area that is planning to go. This will help you get to know people you will be traveling with as well as give you the training you need to be safe and happy while in Uganda.

Thank you,

Church Planting

Our prayers for next year include having lots and lots of churches planted. We have plans for many American pastors who visit Uganda in the summer of 2010 during the Transforming Uganda Short Term Mission Trip to plant churches with us. What a beautiful feeling to know that we will continue to spread God's light throughout Uganda and the world!

Please pray with us for this beautiful mission.

New Photos on Flickr

I have posted new photos from the 2009 Short Term Mission Trip. I think these photos illustrate how much different our organization is than others that seem like us on the surface.

First, you will notice that visitors are given the opportunity to meet face to face the child(ren) that they sponsor. Each child is either fully sponsored by only one person or partially sponsored by two. These children write letters in appreciation for your support and consider their sponsors as family.

Second, you will notice that there is some fun involved in this trip. We offer a safari of Africa during your visit. Plus, our visitors usually have a great time visiting with the children and house moms.

If you are interested in going on a Mission Trip next year, please let us know: info@christianlifeministries.org
