Short term international missionary and disaster relief with the southern Baptist convention. I go to Lamwo, Uganda in November, right on the border of South Sudan, and we provide free medical care.. food, we minister to those who want to hear the good news. The median age nationally is 16yrs old! 2.5 million orphans. We test and treat everyone for malaria, #1 cause of death in Uganda. We deworm them because they ALL have worms.. vision test and we prescribe glasses.. I have repaired a broken well and fixed rain collection systems.. never know! Last yr in 2024 some of our doctors and surgeons repaired a man’s hernia on site and a testicular issue with a young boy. Never know until we get there. My family and I have 4 children we sponsor there. I included some photos, one photo is me with our 4 children in Lamwo.. if you look at the sign on the door behind us it reads, “no food today”
my 2 favorite photos of the ones I posted are of a man and woman receiving their first ever Bible in their native tongue!! That is pure joy!
Be salt of the earth
