Introduction to our trip

GSF UGANDA

 The Journey Begins....


Team Members: Dianne Gibson, Sherman, Rhonda and Morgan Thurmond, Bethany Rouse, Jennifer and Ed Craver





 God is at work...


...at a place called Good Shepherds Fold. Westover Church has been asked to join alongside the missionaries at GSF and I have been selected as a member of the team. GSFs mission is to provide a Christian home to the orphans and destitute children of Uganda. They seek to meet their physical, spiritual, social, emotional, and educational needs so that as they mature they may be fully equipped to impact Ugandan culture for Christ.




PURPOSE OF THE TRIP

The purpose of this trip is to join with the missionaries showing the love of Jesus in a tangible way to the children. We will join with them in caring for the children at the orphanage, assisting in the school
and on the farm. We are honored that they have asked us to join them in their life work.


 
Good Shepherd's Fold


was established in 1994


with the purpose and


primary vision of


evangelizing the orphan


and destitute children of


Uganda with the good


news of Jesus Christ,


while also providing for


their physical, spiritual,


educational and medical needs.”










GOERS AND SENDERS


Every team is made up of the Goers (the people who physically travel) and the Senders


(the people whose prayer and financial support make it possible). We would be blessed if


you would partner with us especially in prayer. We believe the success of this trip will


only be as great as the prayer that goes before it. The needs are many so we seek your


prayers that we may be a blessing to those in need and to the workers and missionaries


at GSF. Also please pray for our preparation, team unity, travel mercies, safety, health


and for our families we leave behind. Please pray especially that we may bring glory


and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
