Meet the team

This trip is a vision and exploration trip to discover ways in which Cherry Hills Community Church might come alongside the community development and AIDS ministry in the communities of Koro Bobi and Paicho Bungatira, Uganda. We will be coming alongside African partners, who are already at work in the community, building relationships and earning trust. This year's focus will be on pastor to pastor training along with Sunday school teacher training leading up to the Global Day of Prayer on Sunday, May 31. It will also include a medical component. We will be visiting medical clinics as well as various medically focused organizations to explore ways in which CHCC can possibly provide medical assistance to the communities. The team will also visit children who are being sponsored by members of our congregation.

God has put together an awesome team of people to head to Uganda on Saturday, May 23, for a 2 week trip returning on June 6. Let me introduce our team:

Gene, CHCC Pastor for Missions and Outreach and going along for comic relief.

Sheryl, Director of Short Term Missions at CHCC. She will have her hands full with all the "lions" on the team!

Torrey, our intrepid World Vision leader and all around global trotter.

Tami, Pioneers missionary developing and representing Pioneer's work with Children at Risk. She has lived in Kyrgzstan and has become a recognized leader in her field of expertise.

James, currently in his senior year at Denver Seminary. He has led several short term teams to China for CHCC.

Scott, was on staff at CHCC for years, teaching in our elementary school then Scott developed and led the Early Childhood Learning Center at CHCC. For the past two years, Scott worked in rural Kenya with an organization that assisted with orphans and village development. Scott has spent a good bit of time in Kenya and has led many short term teams there for CHCC.

Elizabeth, she has attended CHCC for the past 14 years and graduated last May from Northwestern College with a bachelor's degree in Children and Family Ministry.

Sara, a nurse for 25 years and did accompany the CHCC team to Uganda last fall. She will be the webmaster responsible for this blog, her first...so please feel free to contact her personally with any complaints.

We request your prayers as we finalize preparations this week and for continued good health as we approach our departure date.

Thank you, in advance, for your prayers and words of encouragement. We pray that God will be glorified in all that we do and say while we are in Uganda. Enjoy the blog...
