Short Term Missionary Alec Fisher

Short-term Missionary AlecWe are happy to share with you that a short term missionary has arrived in Uganda for three months of service.  Alec will spend about a week in our home as he overcomes jet lag and gets oriented to Uganda - maybe he'll get to run errands with me (like trying to get our work permits this week).  Mostly during his orientation we'll want him to just soak in as much culture as he can and reflect on what he's seeing as well as reading some of the books we highly recommend for visitors, like When Charity Destroys Dignity, African Friends and Money Matters, and Serving with Eyes Wide Open.  After his time of orientation, Alec will probably travel to one of our congregations up-country, stay with a local host family for one or two weeks, and teach and serve in whatever capacity they can use him.  We'll arrange his first few locations and after that let him decide if he wants to return to one location for the remainder of his time, or cycle back to the ones he already visited.  Please pray with us for Alec as he serves God's people in Uganda!
