As with many things in life, we all have plans that we make. Take a vacation, get started on the next big project, even serving the Lord. As Proverbs 16:9 tells us, “A mans heart plans his way, But the Lord Directs his steps.” We have been preparing our team, led by pastor Gary and Carol, to go out and meet with our team over in Uganda. Unfortunately, just a few days ago, the US has changed it’s travel advisory warning to Level 4, “Do not go under any circumstances.” Today would have been the day the team set out, but after careful consideration and prayer, the team as decided to postpone its missions trip until October.
For those familiar, we had originally planned to go in March, but were unable to due to the crisis in the middle east. This time, Uganda and the DRC have begun to see a resurgence in Ebola. At this time, there is no cure for this strain, being a rare variant of the original. In addition, it has a higher mortality rate due to the difficulty of medical care available to the people of the region.
Pastor Gary and Daniel break down the Ebola outbreak in this weeks God stories episode, as well as the rock of hope we have in Jesus, who gives us our foundation during these uncertain times. Please join us to learn more about the situation, join us in prayer for the team that is over there, and spread the word to make others aware of the dangers the Church in Uganda is facing.
