Grindstone Church Team to Visit Uganda

Impact Uganda Leader Dave Adams will lead a team of 6 from Grindstone Church in Waterdown on their first ITCA missions trip to Uganda departing January 11.

The team will consist of Associate Pastor of Discipleship and Teaching, Matt Pamplin; Elder, Doug Veenstra; Paul Dear; Judi Martin; Irene Boonstra and Dave Adam's wife, Jennifer Adams. Gary Sharpe, Director of International Programs will also accompany the team. The Grindstone team will explore the possibility of a strategic partnership with Impact Uganda's national leader, Anne Mwangi.

During their inaugural visit, the Grindstone team will meet Anne for the first time and participate in the ministries she leads. They will teach at the ILTP (International Leadership Training Program) school, minister at the refugee ministry women's group, and serve in the children's feeding program.

A large amount of donated clothing will be distributed including 100 soccer uniforms. In addition, 25 backpacks and a digital camera have also been donated.

Two of the team members with construction experience will work on renovations and general repair in the ILTP building.

"This is a wonderful example of how International Teams helps churches help the poor," Adams said. "International Teams is brokering the relationship between a well-resourced Canadian church and a fledgling ministry to marginalized people in Uganda."
