Coming in November, a handful of Trinity teammates will be traveling to Ethiopia and Uganda with our dear friend, Wilbur Sargunaraj for what is sure to be an busy and fruitful several days of work.
The highlights and goals of our trip are as follows:
- To host 3-4 "Simple Superstar" community concerts feat. Wilbur Sargunaraj to bless children and families impacted by poverty, HIV/AIDS in both Ethiopia and Uganda. Local leaders from our ministries Goh Bright Future and Endiro will help us facilitate this. In most cases, these concerts will include free meals for members of the community.
- To investigate opportunities for potential international or local workers to "MoveIn" to needy communities as well as to secure part or full-time employment. The need for more laborers in this mission field is critical and we hope this trip will enable us to develop concrete plans for mobilization.
- To record multiple short films and music videos which will highlight our East African children's work, raise awareness of the opportunities and challenges presented by global migration, and to honor some cool aspects of East African life and culture. Films will be used specifically by our East African ministries (Goh Bright Future and Endiro) to raise awareness and to mobilize prayer and laborers. The diaspora short film will be premiered at Manila 2015: Lausanne Global Forum on Diaspora Mission.
- To study more carefully diaspora South Asian Hindu and Muslim populations especially in Uganda and opportunities to minister among them.
- To facilitate greater collaboration between our Ethiopian and Ugandan ministries in order to share best practices and resources. We hope to see more church planting result in Uganda and more self-sustaining mission practices in Ethiopia.
