A Mission Work In Which You Can Participate
The Woodland Oaks congregation has recently accepted the sponsorship of an exciting mission work in Uganda, Africa. This effort is being led by a seasoned native preacher- Francis Wechesa- who has demonstrated his ability to accomplish the work we have undertaken. He is a native Ugandan who has worked most of his adult life in Tanzania where he was a leader in establishing multiple preacher training schools as well as a hospital. That work is overseen by the Kensington Woods congregation in Hattiesburg, MS. where the elders highly recommend the Wechesas. The Woodland Oaks congregation has decided to team with him and his wife to establish and build a School of Evangelism and a medical clinic in Busia, Uganda (on the Kenyan border).
Uganda is a war-ravaged nation that is quickly modernizing and is ripe for evangelism. This work definitely has room for multiple congregations to be involved. There are any number of “slices of the pie” for which a congregation (or individual) could accept responsibility. There are buildings to be built, water wells to be drilled, medical supplies to be donated, students to be supported, instructors to be provided and/or supported… the list is extensive. There is a place for every person/congregation who would like to have a part.
If this sounds like something you might be interested in, we would welcome the opportunity to come to you and tell you more about this work and how you might want to be involved. If you know of someone who might be interested, please forward this message to them. We accepted this work by faith, praying that the Lord would provide partners to join us.
