What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
WHO WE ARE
We have provided opportunities for people to serve on trips to Uganda, Africa for over 15 years and we love it! We now have a 40+ acre missions base that hosts hundreds of people every year for short-term missions and internship opportunities. Our Ugandan staff team consistently serves in surrounding villages and they joyfully lead individuals/teams throughout the year!
Our mission in everything we do is to mobilize, inspire and empower people to live on purpose while reaching out in love. We believe that everyone was created by God with a special purpose and plan. Our goal is to see that purpose discovered, nurtured and fulfilled. We’ve seen individual’s passions ignited and dreams awakened after they’ve said “yes” to serve with us.
WHERE
We will pick you up at the Entebbe International Airport in Kampala. You will be brought to our beautiful base just North of Kampala, where you will stay the duration of your trip. Everyday our team visits local surrounding villages to do ministry. You will have an opportunity to serve in multiple capacities, and visit multiple villages depending on your interests. Your meals will be provided on base by our cook, and at the end of your stay we will take you back to the airport. We look forward to hosting you!
WHEN
Our local team operates in consistent ministries every week. We host individuals and teams throughout the entire year. This specific trip will take place from August 15th-30th, 2023. Most days will consist of breakfast, morning ministry, lunch, afternoon ministry, and dinner. In between ministry and meals there will be time to rest, enjoy the beautiful base and surrounding hills.
SKILLS
No skills necessary. Knowledge in agriculture and farming would be great. Come with a willing heart to learn and serve. If a specific outreach requires a specific skill, our team will help equip you.
WHAT WE WILL DO
You will work alongside SMI staff to coordinate community trainings and field days, help teach the principles of Farming Gods Way, disciple and encourage villagers, go on outreaches to plant vegetable gardens, and work on the farm.
You will also have the choice to join a variety of ministry outreaches during the week. Some outreaches may include:
- Home visits to children and families in our sponsorship program
- Elderly visits (loving on them with quality time and service around their home/land)
- Community service projects to homes in the villages (helping families clean around the home, small building projects, handing out mosquito nets)
- Visit local markets, a prison, and local churches to share the gospel and pray over people
- Lead fun games and bible lessons at primary schools, our weekly Hot Lunch program, and our weekly “Say No To Hunger” sponsorship program
- Connect with the youth through teaching bible studies and life skills at high schools and our weekly “Ignite” youth program
- Potentially lead VBS and youth events at the Dream Center (our youth center)
- Help tutor small groups of children during our Bridge tutoring program
- Support medical staff and pray over patients at our medical clinic and birthing center
- Join the team for medical outreaches in the surrounding villages
- Be a part of clean water well commissioning’s
