Judy is going to Africa!

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I am going on a 2 week missions trip to Uganda and Kenya from September 30th thru October 13th. I am traveling with an amazing group of 5 other folks and we are a teaching team. We will be conducting business conferences/seminars and one on one coaching to enable folks to start and sustain their own businesses. Business failures in Uganda is the highest in the world! I am going through an organization called Global Partners in Development (www.globalpartnersindevelopment) and while in Uganda will be partnering with Shane Gilbert who has a ministry called www.comeletsdance.org Shane is doing amazing work in Kampala investing in and training up young men and women to be future leaders in their country. She is starting small micro businesses and is starting to see some great results. Shane is organizing the events in Kampala for our team. In Kenya, we will also be meeting with groups of people who are trying to break the "begging cycle" and become self-sufficient. At the end of our trip, we will take a 3 day "vacation" at the Maasai Mara wilderness to witness The Great Migration of animals traveling to the Mara Plains from the Serengeti.

Cheryl Tuz will be in the office while I am away and will be able to help you with any issues or concerns that arise while I am away. I am available until September 28th and starting October 15th--barring any jet lag!

I am most grateful for the opportunity to go on this trip and appreciate your good thoughts and prayers while I am traveling.

Warmly,

Judy
