Fourteen team members were in Uganda for two and a half weeks from June 23-July 9, 2010. This team began their ministry with IMB missionaries George and Geraldine Smith on Bavuma Island. Leadership training was taught at the Pastor’s Training School by Charles Fry and Doss Estep, while basic foundational training was taught to other pastors and laymen by Ron Whitmer, Eric Norman, Cliff Glenn, and Andrew Mendez. Women’s conferences were held in two different locations on the Island by Diane Lynch, Linda Estep, Darlene Whitmer, and Kayla Kresslein. Jeri Cook, Cliff Glenn, Kayla Kresslein, Andrew Mendez, Ed Mendez and Samantha Smith taught in the Island schools while Darlene Whitmer and Heidi Mendez conducted a 3-day teacher’s conference.
The team ministered in a children’s hospital and also with Pastor Alfred Adundo of MCOP in the Jinja slum Masese. Ed and Heidi Mendez and Eric Norman conducted a medical clinic while the rest of the team taught Bible studies to children and adults. They also taught both men and women in the prisons of Jinja, seeing many come to Christ.
After the ministry in Jinja, the team then moved to Masindi in northern Uganda where they conducted Bible conferences once again on Canaan Farm with Susan and Richard Angoma of Family Empowerment Uganda.
