Just to keep the 12 people reading this blog updated - I've raised around $14,000 - just $6,000 from my goal! Thank you to all those who are supporting me!
Also - after a few set backs with flights - I am finally on my way. Right now, I am sitting in the London Heathrow airport just killing time until my flight leaves in 8 hours. But, I am not complaining! I could use a few hours to rest after maneuvering 3 heavy suitcases from the Gatwick airport to Heathrow. Whew! Blessedly I encountered several kind people willing to help and surprisingly they were all women. The men here could take a few tips from our Southern Gentlemen.
Today is also my birthday! On the flight from Atlanta, one of the pilots came back to talk to me and wished me a happy birthday! Apparently my brother (who was landing just as we were taking off) sent the message to the the cockpit that they had his little sister on board. Too bad Andrew didn't ask them to give me a free upgrade...
Hope everyone has a great August 31st - it is my favorite day of the year!

Impossible Things Are Happening Everyday
If you would like to financially support my work in Uganda, send donations to:
Downtown Church of Christ
PO Box 417
Newnan, GA 30264
Checks should be payable to Downtown Church of Christ. (Be sure to include my name on the memo line.)
My goal is to raise at least $20,000 by Sept 1st. Impossible? Yes, impossible for me - But not for my God. I am so excited to see how he works through others to fulfill this need.

Inaugural Post
I’m afraid the rumors are true…I am leaving Atlanta and the familiar world of Georgia politics to serve with a team of missionaries in Mbale, Uganda.
My recent visit to Mbarara, Uganda confirmed that working with missionaries was a dream that couldn’t just remain an idea – but instead an act of faith that needed to be put into action.
Updates will be coming soon. In the meantime – I’m raising financial support, so please let me know if you would like more information on how to support me or others who do good work in Uganda.
