Goin’ to Uganda
Hello all, for those of you that I haven’t already told I have been accepted as a student teacher with an organization called Training Leaders International. Lord willing on June 10th I will embark on a 
15 day trip to teach a class at Gaba Bible Institute in Uganda on Christian Ethics. This opportunity came suddenly about a month and a half ago when TLI president Darren Carlson came to RTS and hosted a lunch meeting introducing the organization and ways to get involved. As I sat there listening to his presentation and reading over the outline my heart “burned within” (Luke 24:32) in response to the call to serve others with my passions and talents. In a nutshell, TLI’s purpose is to help “meet the needs of theological training overseas” by recruiting theology students to take part in short term trips to share their gifts and resources with church leaders in parts of the world where theological training is either lacking or does not exist. Take a minute and check out the TLI blog, especially the post from April 15th about Gaba Bible Institute.
Over these remaining weeks also make sure to check back for occasional updates on my planning and preparation. I’ve never traveled this far and so I’m getting a crash course in international travel (yes, a poor choice of words). To make this trip a reality several pieces need to come together: immunization shots, passport, plane tickets, writing a curriculum (!) and general funding (about $3,600) just to name a few. Fire away any questions or helpful tips you’ve picked up along the way. I look forward to hearing from you!
